UDI-N111

The unique uni-directional UDI-N111 segments enhance significantly the performance of virtually of any makes of fiber preparation system.

  • Lower specific energy
  • Increased fiber production capacity
  • Improved fiber quality
  • Extended segment life-cycle
The major features of the UDI-N111 design include angled, sliding dams, large and open inlet zone for improved distribution of raw material and multi-angled bars for increased capacity and controlled fiber retention time. This patented design provides a number of direct benefits to MDF producers.

Lower energy consumption results in substantial savings
Installation of UDI-N111 segments can reduce specific energy consumption by 10%. This can result in substantial annual savings. A reduction in energy consumption of 20 kwh/ton based on 30 tons/hour, USD 0.03 per kwh and 7,000 hours results in savings of USD 126,000.

Increased capacity with same motor size
As a result of the lower specific energy requirement, total capacity can be increased with same motor size, assuming that peripheral equipment can cope with this higher capacity.

Higher yield of top-quality fiber with less shives and fines
Operations to date have shown more uniform fiber, less shives and fines, with a greater pro-portion of high-quality fiber in the upper level of the fractionation curve.

Longer segment lifetime reduces total costs
The UDI-N 111 segments are designed to provide longer lifetime than traditional UDI-directional segments.
