OUR METALLURGICAL
EXPERTISE

With a wealth of experience in metallurgy, we have developed both metal grades and manufacturing processes optimised for the pulp refiner plates, with the aim of providing our papermaking customers with the most efficient refiner plates possible.

IMPORTANCE OF THE METALLURGICAL QUALITY ON THE REFINING

The choice of the metal quality is as crucial as the design of the refiner plates. Indeed, the main objective is to keep sharp bar edges throughout the lifetime of the refiner fillings to ensure the customer constant paper properties at same power consumption.

METALLURGICAL KNOW HOW

Therefore, we developed in our laboratories highly resistant metal grades to abrasion, corrosion and impacts.
With a variety of alloys and heat treatments specially designed to meet the most demanding customer applications.

TECHNICAL MEANS

Our metallurgical expertise allows us to both design and provide our customers with quality pieces.
We have for that many technical means:
> observation (microscope with image processing)
> design (engineering office, CAD software)
> measurement (durometer, spectrometer)
> control (penetrant testing, magnetoscopy, magnetism, 3-D measuring machine)
