AFT has engineered the MacroFlow™ to maximize open
area through the use of continuous slots without compromising mechanical
strength. Key benefits of this design are higher capacities and better
pulp cleanliness. Also, the MacroFlow™ offers excellent fatigue and
tensile strength through a unique manufacturing process that provides 2
to 3 times the mechanical strength of conventional wedge wire cylinders.
The MacroFlow™ also provides a smooth, burr-free surface that reduces
the possibility of stuck fibers or string formation. As a result of its
advanced design and capabilities, the MacroFlow™ is the industry
leading screen cylinder. |

AFT Finebar® refiner plates are manufactured
using a patented technology that creates unique design advantages compared
to plates produced by traditional casting, welding or milling. All parts
are precision laser cut, assembled, and diffusion bonded. This process
allows a production of plates with very fine bar patterns and high volumetric
capacity. Lower intensity and better material purity create a number of
opportunities to increased plate life time, reduced energy consumption,
increased capacity and better pulp quality. Proven benefits in pulp quality,
power savings, and plate life time have been achieved in multiple different
applications varying from hardwood, softwood, mechanical and recycled pulp. |
