Strange Pulping Equipment

[UtilityLouie]

I am new to working in pulp mills and I am wondering about what the purposes of fiberlizers and mix pots are?

In the mill I am working in, it looks like the use the mix pots as line splitters.

The fiberlizers are on the discharge of the blow tanks in the pulp mill.

I have done web searches for both of those items and have had no luck.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

IIRC, the fiberlizers are used to reduce cooked but intact chips to fiber and to break up fiber bundles. Most likely a rotary device similar to a refiner.
