Abb. 4-2 CompaDis™ CDI0
Chapter.4 , Page2 von 10
Housing (Item 1) Function: The housing forms the process area in which the fiber bundles
are pulped and screened. It holds the seal and the bearing housing of the
rotor and forms the oil tank. The face end of the inlet casing (Item 2)
closes off the process area. The bi-partite design guarantees easy access
for maintenance work.
Design: Welded structure made of steel. All parts coming into contact with
the medium are made of acid-proof stainless steel. The inlet casing
(Item 2) can be swung out to the side after detaching the flange screws.
Condensate drainage
Inlet casing Function: In the inlet casing the fibre stock is heated using steam and
(Item 2) brought from the feed screw to the rotor (Item 6). The inlet casing holds
the seal and also the bearing housing for the feed screw. The face end of
the inlet casing closes off the process area of the housing (Item 1).
Design: Welded structure made of steel. All parts coming into contact with
the medium are made of acid-proof stainless steel. A set of disperser
fillings is screwed onto the face end, facing the housing (Item 1). Two
connections for steam feed are welded onto the top side of the inlet
casing. The stock temperature is monitored by a resistance thermometer.
Connections for adding the chemicals are provided at the side of the
housing.
Bearing assembly Function: The shaft transmits the torque from the motor to the rotor. The
with rotor shaft bearing housing for the rotor has a movable mounting which can be
(Item 3) adjusted in axial direction in the housing (Item 1)
Design: The rotor shaft is made of tempering steel. One shaft end has a
conical shape for holding the rotor. The rotor shaft is supported in three
anti-friction bearings running in an oil bath.
Antifriction bearing
Rotor seal (Item 4) Function: The seal prevents the pulp from escaping from the housing. The
seal must have a continuous supply of sealing water. The connecting
dimension and water requirement are indicated in the arrangement
drawing.
Design: Stuffing box with five packing rings and one lantern ring.
Rotor (Item 5) Function: The disperser filling (Item 6) is mounted on the rotor. The rotor
and bearing can slide back and forth in axial direction in order to set the
disperser gap.
Design: The rotor sits on the cone of the drive shaft. Four scrapers are
screwed on round the circumference of the rotor.
Disperser filling Function: The fibre bundles are broken up between the stationary and the
(Item 6) rotating disperser fillings. Since the disperser fillings have profiles, the
pulp is conveyed outwards radially.
Design: One disperger filling comprises eight segments. One disperser
filling each is screwed to the rotor and to the stator.
Scraper
Adjusting device Function: The rotor with bearing assembly is moved back and forth in
for rotor (Item 7) axial direction by means of an electro-mechanical adjusting drive in order
to set the gap between rotor and stator. The position of the rotor is
measured by a displacement transducer. If there is no supply of pulp or
one of the safety devices is triggered, the adjusting drive disengages and
returns to the starting position.
Design: The gear motor drives the worm gear, which is connected to the
rotor bearing, via a screw shaft.
Worm gear
Screw shaft
Feed screw Function: The feed screw tears fibre flocs from the plug coming from the
CompaSlice™ plug screw and conveys the fibre pulp to the rotor. Here the pulp is heated
(Item 8) with steam, then chemicals are added to it and mixed in thoroughly.
Design: The feed screw is made of acid-proof stainless steel. The screw
flighting is welded to the shaft.
Seal for feed Function: The seal prevents the pulp from escaping from the inlet casing.
screw (Item 10) The seal must have a continuous supply of sealing water. The connecting
dimension and water requirement are indicated in the arrangement
drawing.
Design: Stuffing box with five packing rings and one lantern ring.
Main drive Function: The drive turns the rotor of the CompaDis™.

Pulp with a consistency of 30% is fed from the plug screw to the feed
screw. In the CompaSlice™ the pulp is heated by steam to approximately
95°C and treated with bleaching chemicals. The pulp is reduced to flocs
by the feed screw and then fed to the disperger unit. The pulp flows
through the disperser fillings from the inside to the outside. During this
process the fibre bundles are broken down by the force of the friction
without being chopped up. Thanks to the considerable shearing forces,
impurities such as dirt specks, stickies, wax and resins are detached from
the fiber and dispersed. The dispersed pulp leaves the housing through
the discharge branch.
The pulp quality after dispersing is determined by the input of specific
energy to the pulp. The energy input is largely determined by means of
the gap between rotor and stator.
Disregarding the safety regulations may cause a risk to life and limb.
If the safety regulations are disregarded, this may cause a risk to life
and limb and damage to the machine or its components.

Tab. 8-10 Installing the stuffing box packing
Packing cord
Packing marking
Setting the
stuffing box gland
New packings swell because they absorb water. This increases the
surface pressure on the shaft and the large amount of sealing water that
escapes at first is then reduced.
The stuffing box packing will be damaged if the stuffing box gland is
screwed too tight.
If the stuffing box gland is too tight, this will cause burning on the
CAUTION seal surfaces.
Step Procedure
1 Tighten the screw fitting slightly at the stuffing box gland.
2 Turn on supply of sealing water.
3 Start up the machine.
4 Shut down the machine after a few minutes and check the
temperature of the stuffing box seal.
The temperature of the seal casing must not exceed 40°C.
5 Tighten the stuffing box gland further until there is less
sealing water escaping.
Tab. 8-11 Setting the stuffing box gland
• The stuffing box should be checked at short intervals during the first
few hours in operation.
• Set the stuffing box such that the shaft at the stuffing box gland is
always moist.
• Loosen the screw fitting at the stuffing box gland if the stuffing box
overheats.
