Benefits of the Helidrum (Heli-Drum) Pulping System

The Heli-Drum Pulping System is a top choice for modern pulping systems in the paper industry, offering:

Power of 3 Components of the Helidrum (Heli-Drum) Pulping System

The Heli-Drum Pulping System’s performance is powered by three essential components that work together seamlessly to ensure efficiency while maintaining flexibility.

Helico (Heli-Co) Pulper
A high-efficiency paper machine pulper that delivers rapid and thorough defibering. Designed to optimize ink detachment and dispersion, it ensures clean and effective fiber separation, making it ideal for waste pulp paper making and other fiber recovery applications.

Heli-Soft Rotor Technology
This innovative rotor technology enhances ink removal while reducing energy use. By promoting fiber-to-fiber friction and minimizing contaminant attrition, it supports high-consistency pulping and improves overall process efficiency.

Conic (Konic) Drum Screen
The conic screen pulping system efficiently collects, washes, and transports reject waste. Its conical design minimizes fiber loss while ensuring superior waste management—essential for clean and high-quality fiber pulping operations.

Efficient Defibering and Ink Detachment

The Helico Pulper ensures rapid and thorough defibering, effectively separating fibers while enhancing ink detachment and dispersion.

The Heli-Soft rotor technology minimizes energy consumption while maximizing ink dispersion, making the system highly energy-efficient.

Reduced Fiber Loss and Waste Management

The conic drum screen efficiently removes contaminants and minimizes fiber loss during the pulping process, ensuring cleaner and higher-quality fiber recovery.

Superior Contaminant Removal

Capable of managing contamination levels of up to 30%, the system effectively removes ink, plastic, and other impurities, ensuring high-quality pulping of paper.

Versatile Raw Material Handling

The system processes diverse raw materials, including recycled fibers, milk and juice cartons (with up to 30% contamination), poly cups, and sack kraft (with 10-15% contamination), offering unmatched flexibility for various waste pulp paper making applications.

Faster and More Effective Defibering

The system achieves faster, high-consistency fiber-to-fiber friction-based defibering, boosting productivity and reducing processing time.

Highly Adaptable Design

Built to meet diverse fiber processing needs, the Heli-Drum’s simplicity and versatility make it a reliable choice for modern pulping operations. Its adaptability underscores the advanced solutions provided by pulping equipment suppliers.
