AIKAWA Iron Works: Pulp preparation system
AIKAWA Iron Works pioneers paper equipment innovation using scFLOW with DEM capabilities to simulate non-clogging pumps and screen systems.
While paper equipment manufacturers in Japan are going out of business or transferring their operations, there is a company that is taking on the challenges of the current era of change by streamlining its design and development.
Founded in 1924 in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, AIKAWA Iron Works Co., Ltd is a long-established domestic pioneer that is celebrating its 98th anniversary this year. One of AIKAWA Iron Works’ strengths is that they can provide one-stop solutions for the pulp preparation equipment that is indispensable for the paper manufacturing processes, and in this case study we focus on the AIKAWA non-clogging pump and the outward-type screen system. They have now used the fabric model of DEM (Discrete Element Method) capabilities in scFLOW to simulate the inside of the pump more faithfully by reproducing various foreign particles.
