Refiner Segments - Pro safe for board and paper making
Lighter, safer way to move your refining performance forward
Optimizing low consistency refining helps board and paper machines to achieve their performance and production goals. While specific refining goals may vary from mill to mill, refiner segment pattern and design can have a substantial impact on refining efficiency.
Lighter and Safer
- 75% lighter than traditional cast refiner segments
Reduced energy consumption
Improved fiber quality
Minimized equipment downtime
Valmet Refiner Segments - Pro safe are the lighter, safer alternatives to traditional plates. First introduced by legacy manufacturer J&L Fiber Services, Valmet is now the OEM for Pro safe refiner segments, producing them out of its Waukesha Service Center, in Waukesha, WI.
More patterns, optimum design and performance
The unique casting process used on Valmet Refiner Segments - Pro safe enables production of overhung designs that are built to drive performance. This means increased refining capacity at lower intensity with longer plate life. When compared to traditional refiner segments, Valmet customers using Valmet Refiner Segment Pro safe benefit from:
- Higher capacity
- Lower refining intensity
- Longer plate life
- Plug-resistant plate patterns
Pattern designs
Valmet Refiner Segments - Pro safe can be fabricated in any of Valmet’s signature pattern designs.
- Alternating Deep Groove (previously known in the industry as ProMax ReverseFlare)
- Reverse flare groove (previously known in the industry as ReverseFlare)
- Constant Angle Multi-Zone
- Constant Angle
- Ultra low intensity
- Parallel Bar
- Variable groove
- Milled Bar
