Discflo's disc pump is used for pumping
the following types of fluids in the pulp and paper industry. A
more detailed list of applications is given in the table below.
Chemical recovery: eg
green liquor dregs, black liquor soaps, clarifier sludge,
etc
Paper stock and pulp: up
to 18%+ density with no dilution and no external fluidizer
required
Paper coatings:
polymer emulsions, latexes, kaolin clay slurries, TiO2
slurries up to 80% solids, bentonite solutions, etc
