Slushing and pulpers When fibre material is in dried form it is stored in bales in order to provide rational handling from a pulp mill to a remote paper mill. These fibres need to be separated and disintegrated for paper production. Baled pulps’ slushing is carried out in pulpers. The main parts of the pulper
