HUATAO Papermaking Refiner Plates Special Report

1. Introduction  

- Function: The Refiner Disc is a critical component in papermaking machinery, utilizing mechanical action (shearing, crushing, stretching) to process pulp fibers, ensuring optimal fiber characteristics for paper quality.  

- Key Feature: Over 100 customizable tooth profiles tailored to different pulps, refining stages, and production requirements.  

2. Types

- Casting Discs: Manufactured via casting processes.  

- Milling Discs: Precision-machined for specific applications.  

- Compatibility: Compatible with major brands (Valmet, Andritz, Voith) and diverse machinery models.  

3. Applications

- Used in:  

  - Double Disc Refiners (pulp lines).  

  - High Consistency Refiners.  

  - Defibrators (MDF production).  

  - Heat Dispersers and Deflakers.  

4. Raw Materials 

Material Type ,Hardness, Properties          

 Alloy ,62 HRC (High wear resistance)

 Cast Iron (Chrome-Coated)   High chromium, durable       

17-4PH Stainless Steel , 37–42 HRC (Precipitation-hardened)

 Medium Carbon S.S. , 52–55 HRC                    

High Carbon S.S.,Customized for specific needs

5. Key Advantages

- Durability: High wear resistance, impact toughness, and extended service life.  

- Quality Assurance:  

- Pre-shipment tests (hardness, destructive, dynamic/static balance).  

- Strict tolerances (diameter/thickness error <1mm).  

- Customization: Diverse tooth patterns for varied pulp types and refining stages.  

- Packaging: Clearly labeled with specifications and certifications.  

6. Installation & Usage Guidelines

- Bolts: Avoid reusing old bolts; ensure uniform tightening to prevent imbalance.  

- Handling: Use care during transport; clean installation surfaces.  

- Operation:  

  - Avoid running without gaps.  

  - Remove debris from slurry to prevent damage.  

  - Halt operation if automatic controls fail.  

- Installation Order:  

  - Follow numbered sequence (clockwise) for balance.  

  - Do not mix disc groups (thickness variations between groups).  

7. Compatible Refiner Models

- Andritz: TF20, TF26, TF34, TF42, TF45, Deflaker A1850/C18K50.  

- Voith: TF1E–TF4E Series; Deflaker E1K, E2000, E4000, E8000.  

- Valmet: JC00–JC05, PRO1–PRO3.  

- Cellwood: Disperser KD450–KD1250.  

- PILAO: RTC1000, RTC2000.  

Conclusion

Selecting the appropriate Refiner Disc—considering tooth profile, material, and compatibility—is vital for optimizing papermaking efficiency, minimizing downtime, and ensuring product quality.
