Valmet Conical Refiner Pro

Precise power control

Up to 30% electrical savings

Increased refiner capacity

One Is All You Need

A revolutionary concept in refining, the Valmet Conical Refiner Pro allows two traditional refiners to be replaced with one unit while still delivering a 30% electrical energy savings. The Valmet Conical Refiner Pro refiners are suitable for all kinds of low consistency refining applications.

High Efficiency, Low Cost

Due to allowing for a reduced number of refiners in the system, the Valmet Conical Refiner Pro increases energy efficiency and savings in operation costs all while supporting sustainable development. This ultimately leads to a reduction in maintenance costs, a lower entire life cycle cost, and less environmental stress.

Unique Flow-Through Technology

Stock is spread evenly across the bars where fiber treatment occurs. After treatment is completed, the fiber exits from the refiner. The design ensures that all the stock is treated evenly, providing higher refiner loadability and better energy efficiency.

Exceptional efficiency

The Valmet Conical Refiner Pro enables a higher installed power and throughput while also featuring a lower and more even pumping curve when compared to conventional refiners. Additionally, the refiner’s hydraulic capacity is not sensitive to fillings wear.

A Quick and Precise Power Control

Gap control is made by a moving rotor with a new generation loading system comprising of a servo motor and control.

  • A single Valmet Conical Refiner Pro can replace two traditional refiners while delivering a 30% electrical energy savings
  • No-load power is reduced by 50%
  • Stock is treated evenly, providing higher refiner loadability and better energy efficiency
  • A Significantly smaller investment cost
  • Suitable for all kinds of low consistency refining applications

Customer success stories

Dunafin enhances refining and fiber analysis with Valmet

Dunafin, member of delfortgroup, has always focused on producing high-quality grades while keeping operations efficient and sustainable. Recently, Dunafin took a significant step to modernize its refining process by implementing the Valmet Conical Refiner Pro and MAP Q Analyzer. Read the full article to learn how Dunafin achieved both the operational efficiency and the product quality with Valmet.

Breast roll shaker improves paper quality and refiner rebuild gives energy savings in Hankuk Paper

Onsan mill removes product quality limitations and saves EUR 50,000 in annual energy costs.

Refining rebuild at Savon Sellu

“We believe that the unique refining principle of the OptiFiner Pro gives us an advantage. As a bonus, we use 30% less energy while achieving the same freeness values as before", tells Tapio Laukkanen about the results of a refining rebuild at Savon Sellu.

Improved end product quality with right refining

The first OptiFiner Pro refiner in Southern Europe started up in Cartiere Ermolli mill in Northern Italy at the beginning of 2014. The new refiner replaced two existing refiners at PM 1, increasing the overall refining capacity significantly and reducing energy consumption by at least 20%.

Refining innovation at Mondi Neusiedler

“With OptiFiner Pro we have achieved 24% energy savings with the same refining result", says Erwin Sversepa, Production Manager At Mondi Neusiedler.
