SOMERVILLE Fractionator Screen (type)

Manufactured by Techlab Systems

The Somerville Fractionator Screen enables you to determine the shive content of pulp.

This Somerville type classifier is designed to ensure that no useful fibre for the paper industry is included in the content of uncooked and impurities and these in useful fibre stocks.

Although originally designed to determine impurities in comminuted pulps, the method is applicable to all mechanical pulps and chemical pulps. It is also widely used for the determination of stickies that are left over from recycled materials.
