- Refiner reconditioning
Refiner reconditioning (reconditioning, shaft, drop-in unit reconditioning) for mechanical pulping

Valmet is offering a wide range of reconditioning for high consistency (HC) and low consistency (LC) refiners as well as refiner auxiliaries including refiner infeed screw, refiner housing and segment holders.
The heart of the HC- and LC-refiner is a bearing unit, which is always fully inspected, individually reconditioned and updated based on process requirements and position at the mill site. We also understand the link of a damage with a process problem.
The wear of infeed screw and refiner housing is dependent on pulp cleanliness. The target for infeed screw is to return the original shape and construction to ensure problem free operation. Refiner housing (pressure vessel) reconditioning is performed by machining and wear bar installation.
Wear of a segment holder dovetails and spigot creates unbalance vibrations and sometimes pulp quality problems. We rebuild the holders back to OEM specifications by correcting the geometry with the dynamic balancing. In order to secure the segment holder quality, Valmet recommends reconditioning every 5 years or after a severe process disturbance.
