Fiberlean tranps

Silver Sponsor

Fiber Lean Technologies

Our vision is to provide our customers with the world’s best MFC technology and support. FiberLean’s proprietary grinding process allows the production of MFC from a wide range of pulps used in the paper, packaging, tissue, speciality and pulp-based product industries. This controlled milling approach results in a unique micro-structured network of cellulose fibrils which can be tailored to each application through adjustment of process parameters and selection of feed materials. The robust and reliable design of the equipment enables continuous production of MFC at any scale, with onsite installations of grinders being modular to adjust production volumes to match each customer’s requirements. The use of MFC in paper, packaging, tissue, speciality and pulp-based products can be leveraged to lower energy consumption, lower production costs, improve product quality and improve sustainability.
