It turns wood chips into pulp, conditions the pulp, and makes pulp of synthetic fibers, glass fibers and carbon fibers. With this machine, it is easy to perform processing into fiber and fibrillation of various polymers in diverse fields. Its shape is the same as the practical refiner used in the manufacturing plant, producing the same quality of the actual final product.
