Low consistency refining is one of the few elements of a recycling system that can be used to strategically modify the fiber properties and enhance its paper making characteristics. Over the years, research has predominately been conducted on smaller pilot scale refiners however these machines are generally recognized to be much more efficient than larger commercial scale equipment resulting in uncertainty concerning the scalability of the results to commercial applications.
