Our Solutions/Product Highlight
Pressurized refiner
The heart of the fiber preparation process is the pressurized refiner. It is sized to specific requirements to produce high-quality fiber with low energy consumption. Each refining system is designed to last. Top performance, high reliability, and availability are hallmarks of our HC-refiners, which ensure trouble-free operation and ease of maintenance, even in demanding applications (processing veneer chips, shavings, sawdust, waste wood). The innovative “swing-door” design of our refiners makes it easy and quick to change refiner plates. With the addition of the latest process control and plant instrumentation, our customers receive a complete, highly sophisticated front-end system from a single source. No matter what the capacity, our technology is designed to deliver top performance. ANDRITZ has designed and delivered the world’s largest single-stage MDF pressurized refining system. Decades of experience allow us to understand the processes well. That is why we can offer full-line solutions when needed.
