A method of beating a refiner, the refiner including
- a main body,
- a rotation shaft provided inside the main body,
- a tapered rotor attached to the rotation shaft, and having a space therein,
- a stator provided in the main body to oppose the rotor,
- a rotor beating portion provided on a surface of the rotor, the rotor beating portion having a groove between a bar and a bar and having a plurality of through-holes penetrating therethrough,
- a stator beating portion provided on a surface of the stator, the stator beating portion opposing the rotor beating portion, and having a groove between a bar and a bar, and a plurality of through-holes penetrating therethrough,
- a raw material supply portion for supplying a raw material into the main body, and
- a raw material discharge portion for discharging a beaten raw material to an outside of the main body,
- wherein the bar of the rotor beating portion is inclined such that the raw material is guided from a small diameter side of the rotor to a large diameter side of the rotor,
- the rotor is configured such that the small diameter side serves as a small-diameter opening portion and the large diameter side is blocked,
- the raw material from the raw material supply portion approaches end portions of the stator beating portion and the rotor beating portion on a side close to the raw material supply portion, and the small-diameter opening portion of the rotor, and
- the plurality of through-holes of the stator beating portion, and end portions of the stator beating portion and the rotor beating portion on a side far from the raw material supply portion communicate with the raw material discharge portion, and
- wherein a portion of a raw material guided to the small-diameter opening portion of the rotor and the space of the rotor is beaten by passing through the plurality of through-holes of the rotor beating portion and the plurality of through-holes of the stator beating portion, and is discharged to an outside of the stator beating portion from the plurality of through-holes of the stator beating portion,
- a portion of a raw material guided to the small-diameter opening portion of the rotor and the space of the rotor passes through the plurality of through-holes of the rotor beating portion on a side close to the large diameter side of the rotor, is beaten by passing through a gap between the stator beating portion and the rotor beating portion, and is discharged to an outside of the stator beating portion and the rotor beating portion from the end portions of the stator beating portion and the rotor beating portion on the side far from the raw material supply portion, and
- a raw material guided to between the stator beating portion and the rotor beating portion on the small diameter side corresponding to the end portions on the side closed to the raw material supply portion is beaten by passing through the stator beating portion and the rotor beating portion, and is discharged to the outside of the stator beating portion from the plurality of through-holes of the stator beating portion.
