Somerville Screen
Complying with Tappi T275, the Somerville Screen was originally designed to separate shives from groundwood pulp samples. Now used extensively for separating contaries and stickies from recycled pulp samples.
The Somerville Screen is designed to ensure that no fibre useful for papermaking is included in the shive content and that no significant fibre bundles are present in the accepted stock.
Although originally designed for determining shive in groundwood pulps, the method is applicable to all mechanical pulps and chemical pulps. It is also used extensively for determining the contraries (stickies) remaining in recycled waste furnishes.
Applications
Shive analysis of pulps, separation of stickies and plastics from recycled fibres
