FAQs for custom forestry and paper refiner plates

What affects refiner plates life?

In addition to the metallurgical expertise of the refiner plate supplier, the durability of these plates is significantly influenced by several on-site factors:

  1. Raw Material Properties: The type and quality of the raw material play a crucial role.
  2. Woodchip Hardness and Density: The hardness and density of the woodchips impact wear and tear.
  3. Stream Process and Pressure: The refining process, including stream pressure, affects plate longevity.
  4. Effective Chip Washing: Proper chip washing minimizes wear during refining.
  5. Rotor-Stator Grinding Distance: The optimal distance between the rotor and stator affects plate wear.
  6. Mechanical Condition of the Refiner: Regular maintenance and upkeep are essential.
  7. Refining Process Engineer’s Experience and Skill: A skilled engineer closely monitors the refining process, meticulously recording various pressure and output figures. By doing so, they can fine-tune and optimize the process to maximize the output of the refiner plate.
Is the lifespan of refiner plate important?

Plate life is important when the refiner plate is prohibitively expensive. Expensive refiner plate is a burden to production planning. Instead of solely focusing on the plate’s lifespan, plant managers should take a holistic view by considering the total input cost.

By opting for the HANGTEC refiner plate, which offers an exceptional cost-performance advantage, production managers gain several benefits:

  • Expanded raw material options: they can explore a wider range of raw materials.
  • Streamlined Filtration and Washing: The need for extensive filtration and washing processes can be relaxed.
  • Efficient Grinding with Low Energy Consumption: The plate allows for energy-efficient grinding while maintaining good fiber quality.

Furthermore, HANGTEC provides highly competitive pricing for our refiner plates. Experienced engineers will carefully balance these factors to optimize overall efficiency.

How to avoid low quality refiner plates?

Buy Directly from Reputable Manufacturers:

  • It is advisable to purchase refiner plates directly from the reputable original manufacturer. This ensures product quality and reliability.  
  • Check Credentials: Verify the manufacturer’s history, company registration, and registered capital.

Demand Video Conferencing:

  • To validate the true existence of the manufacturing facility and ownership, consider requesting a video conference with the manufacturer.

Beware of Trading Agents:

  • When buying through trading agents, exercise caution. They often lack specialized knowledge about the refining process.
  • Some agents source low-quality products from small workshops with inadequate facilities and processes.
Do non-international brand products causes issues in the refiner?

HANGTEC, a reputable manufacturer with 20 years of experience, produces products that perform comparably to major brands. Many MDF fiberboard companies and papermills have learned this and regret spending double the price for similar performance. Consequently, these expensive alternatives have been losing market share. Unfortunately, they resort to defamatory tactics to create unnecessary fear among users, all in an effort to protect their ridiculous mark-up in price.

Over the past two decades, the truth has emerged: When MDF and paper producers discover a reliable refiner plate producer like HANGTEC, they no longer purchase major brand products. Our client includes publicly listed companies with billions in market capitalization.

However, it remains advisable to purchase refiner plates directly from reputable original manufacturers. Doing so ensures you avoid subpar products from smaller workshops. 🌟

What are HANGTEC refiner plates used for?

HANGTEC refiner plates find application in the pressurized refining or grinding of wood fibers in MDF/HDF plants and the mechanical pulping process in paper mills. Additionally, they are suitable for refining other raw materials such as straw, feedstuff, and tobacco.

A skilled refiner operator installs our plates onto the rotor and stator of the defibrator. Once the chamber is sealed, the operator initiates the refiner / defibrator, ensuring it runs smoothly alongside other processes.

Refiner plate are also know as: Refiner spare sparts; Grinding disc / grinding segment; Refiner blade / refiner knife; Abrasive disc

How are refiner plates manufactured?

Refiner plates are crafted through a precise process:

  • Material Selection: Durable materials, like high-quality alloy steels, are chosen for resilience.
  • Design and Engineering: Engineers create designs tailored to specific refining needs.
  • Foundry: Using high-chromium alloy melted and poured into the sand moulds in a foundry setting, forming the initial shape of the refiner plates.
  • Heat Treatment: The cast plates undergo heat treatment in specialized facilities to enhance hardness and durability, crucial for withstanding abrasive refining conditions.
  • Machining: Following heat treatment, the plates undergo precision machining to achieve the final shape and ensure dimensional accuracy.
  • Testing and Rotor Balancing: Rigorous quality control measures include testing the hardness of the plates, dimensional checks, and rotor balancing to ensure optimal performance.
  • Packing: The finished refiner plates are carefully packed to prevent any damage during transportation to their final destination.

This process guarantees the production of resilient, high-quality refiner plates.

What types of material are commonly used? (material composition)

The types of material compositions vary based on the manufacturing process and application. Here are some common material compositions and their applications:

  • High-chromium alloy (Cr): 25-35%
  • Carbon (C): 2.5-4.0%
  • Nickel (Ni): 0.5-2%
  • Molybdenum (Mo): 1-3%

Other elements in smaller percentages.
The choice of material depends on refining conditions and desired performance characteristics, with a focus on achieving a balance between hardness and toughness.

Are refiner plates tested before shipping?

Yes, refiner plates undergo rigorous testing before shipping, including rotor balancing, hardness and dimension checks, surface finish inspection, and assessment of wear resistance. These testing ensures that the plates meet quality standards and perform effectively in refining operations.

What is the lead time for refiner plates?
  • Standard Product: 7 days lead time upon confirmation of design and purchase
    order.
  • Tailor-Made Pattern on Standard Model: 15 days lead time upon confirmation of design and purchase order.
  • Complete Customized New Model: 25 days lead time upon confirmation of design and purchase order.

It's important to note that these durations are contingent upon the confirmation of design and the issuance of a purchase order. For precise and up-to-date information, please communicate directly with HANGTEC.
