Aperture & Reject-Rate Trade-off Guide

Aperture & Reject-Rate Trade-off Guide

Screening efficiency and fibre yield pull against each other: raise the reject rate to catch more contaminant and you also send more good fibre to the reject line. This guide illustrates the trade-off and points to the right basket — it is qualitative, not a performance guarantee.

Illustrative relationship between reject rate, contaminant removal and fibre loss — the reject sorter recovers accept fibre from the reject stream. Actual efficiency depends on rotor, slot velocity and consistency. Screening-efficiency principles per Salem, BioResources.
