high FLOW PATTERNS

Whether you are looking for improved quality or reduced energy costs - or both - FINEBAR®'s patented technology provides significantly increased hydraulic capacity for any given edge length compared with any other method of refiner plate construction.

Alternative plate manufacturing techniques suffer from limitations in available groove volume, particularly for ultra-low refining intensity plate designs. As shown here, FINEBAR®'s superior groove geometry allows for very fine bar/groove patterns while maintaining high volumetric capacity and plate wear characteristics.

High hydraulic capacity within a given area of refiner plate surface is advantageous for both improved energy efficiency and improved quality benefits. The combination of increased number of bars at high volumetric capacity allows FINEBAR® to design plates that achieve lower refining intensities with reduced active refining diameters. Another demonstrated advantage has been the significantly improved plate life with our patented design.
