The Heli-Disc Pulper Benefits
This pulping system offers increased efficiency in
high consistency applications. It offers superior ink
dispersion and low contaminant attrition for very
efficient pulp processing. Improved performance
 Improved pulping with less power
 Specially designed to operate at consistencies
 Superior ink detachment and disperson
up to 18%
 Creates intense fiber-to fiber friction for faster  Excellent contaminant removal
and more complete defibering
Low maintenance
The Heli-Soft Pulper Rotor
 Simplified design means minimum 
In contrast to screw rotors, the Heli-Disc features maintenance, parts, and labor
disc-like spiraling flights along the rotor body.
This reduces power consumption by approximately
30% when compared to the conventional rotors, Maximized flow
translating into immediate cost savings.  String-free contaminants at pump
