Abstract
A refiner is disclosed comprising relatively rotatable inner and outer conical refining blades. The refining blades are coaxially arranged around a symmetry axis and are provided with first bars and second bars, respectively, for the grinding of fibrous material. The inner conical refining blade or any of the first bars of the inner conical refining blade extend further along the symmetry axis, in the direction of the tapering of the inner and outer conical refining blades, than the outer conical refining blade or any of the second bars of the counter conical refining blade.

A refiner comprising relatively rotatable inner and outer conical refining blades, said inner and outer conical refining blades being coaxially arranged around a symmetry axis and being provided with first bars and second bars, respectively, for grinding of fibrous material, any of the first bars of the inner conical refining blade extend further along the symmetry axis, in the direction of the tapering of said inner and outer conical refining blades, than the outer conical refining blade or any of the second bars of the outer conical refining blade, whereby debris contacts said any of the first bars of the inner conical refining blade so as to prevent debris from entering a refining gap between the inner conical refining blade and the outer conical refining blade.
An attachable conical refining blade for a refiner, said refiner comprising an outer conical refining blade provided with second bars, wherein said attachable conical refining blade is provided with first bars and is configured to be rotatable and coaxially arranged with respect to said outer conical refining blade along a symmetry axis in such a way that the attachable conical refining blade forms an inner conical refining blade, any of said first bars of said attachable conical refining blade, when coaxially arranged with respect to said outer conical refining blade, extends further along the symmetry axis, in the direction of the tapering of said conical refining blades, than said outer conical refining blade or said second bars of said outer conical refining blade.
A pair of conical refining blades for use in a refiner, said pair of refining blades being configured to be coaxially arranged along a symmetry axis to define an inner and an outer conical refining blade and where said refining blades are provided with first bars and second bars, respectively, for grinding fibrous material, wherein at least a portion of the first bars provided on the inner conical refining blade extends further along the symmetry axis in the direction of the tapering of said conical refining blades than the second bars provided on the outer conical refining blade.
