Maximizing refiner performance

Paper makers rely on their refining process as a crucial step in delivering ideal fiber properties, end product quality and paper machine performance. This 56-minute webinar is designed specifically to help you understand how to improve efficiency and production by optimizing your refining process with equipment and technology upgrades. Maximizing refiner performance offers a holistic approach to refining in which all surrounding variables are optimized to achieve optimum fiber quality with minimum variability at the lowest possible cost. This webinar begins with a maintenance overview that defines key factors required to keep refiners continuously running at peak efficiency for countless years and describes the negative impacts associated with poor mechanical conditions. It then gets into instrumentation and tools that can be used to keep track of refiner mechanical and process performance. From there it jumps to new industrial internet based programs used to monitor refiner health to ensure potential refining issues are addressed before they ever surface. The webinar ends by tying all these critical points together to assure refiner performance is maximized. What viewers can expect to learn: Critical refiner maintenance points and checks Latest technology for monitoring refiner performance available Industrial internet for constant refiner troubleshooting and optimization Minimization of human error through automation With decades of OEM expertise and a global installed base of over 10,000 refiners worldwide, Valmet has the most process knowledge and proven portfolio of services to help you achieve your goals.
