Abstract

See full text

Methods and apparatus controlling the alignment between refining surfaces of opposite refining discs are disclosed which are relatively rotatable and which are incorporated in a refiner for disintegrating and refining lignocellulose-containing material in a refining gap between the refining surfaces. The disclosed method includes positioning at least three sensors at least three measurement positions, measuring the vibrations at each of the measurement positions during refiner operation, and comparing each of the measured vibrations at each of the measurement positions with each other. The apparatus disclosed includes at least three sensors disposed in at least three predetermined measurement positions, each of the sensors comprising a vibration sensor disposed on a refining disc for measuring the vibrations at the measurement positions whereby measuring can take place during operation of the refiner and a comparator for comparing the measurements of the measurement positions to provide a comparison therebetween.
