M/K ASME & CE Certified Laboratory Pulp Digesters
Precise, safe, and versatile. Cook by H-Factor or Temp/Time segments
Increase your pulp yield
M/K Systems Inc. offers the most precise laboratory pulp digesters available. Our liquor circulating pulp system uses an anti-turbulent design, patented shower head design, stainless steel vessels and tubing, and a multi-heater system to uniformly cook your pulp. This laboratory pulp digester is ideal for Kraft cooks. Cook in 1 vessel, 2 vessels, or our multi-vessel systems. Our patented mixing module provides the best liquor/chip interaction available. Heat by temperature/time segments or by H-factor. Obtain low variation in your KAPPA numbers. Extract liquor during the cook with our enhanced 2020 sampling condenser design. Cook wood chips, hemp, fine particles, or almost any cellulose-based material. We have options that allow you to easily and safely inject additives during your cook. Rent or purchase our high-pressure pulp digesters for all of your cooking needs. The digester is easy to use, safe, and reliable. Use our systems for kraft cooks, sulfite cooks, bleaching, extraction of hemicellulose, cooking with additives, etc. Give us a call to try our system.
