(57) The present invention relates to a method and a reactor to crystalize calcium carbonate and to form crys­tals in a liquid flow (F) with the concentration of 2.5-5% inside or on the surfaces of a fiber dispersion containing solid matter,

- carbon dioxide (CO2) (CO2) and lime milk (LM) (Ca(OH)2) are fed into liquid flow (F) to get them to react with each other, carbon dioxide (CO2) and/or lime milk (LM) is injected with a mixer (3, 31, 32) crosswise into liquid flow (F)

- the injecting is performed in the feed tube (2) in such a way that the dwell time of the crystallizing reaction is 0.5-10 seconds before the nozzle (20) of the reactor (1), after which the liquid flow (F) is mixed with the liquid or fiber suspension in container (4).
