AFT is one of the oldest producers of pulp screen components, having been in operation for approximately 100 years. AFT is the world's leading producer of customized screening solutions to the pulp and paper industry based on its advanced screen component technology and its in-depth knowledge of pulp screening processes.

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.

The AFT Gladiator™ rotor has been designed to maximize the potential of a screen system. It is engineered to improve capacity and efficiency, reduce power requirements and run in a wide range of applications. The AFT Gladiator™ can be used with an AFT Profile™ screen cylinder for a superior combination of screening technology.

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.
