New award-winning refiner InfibraFiner offers maximum throughput and energy efficiency thanks to innovative design and state-of-the-art sensor technology
- New InfibraFiner refiner combines award-winning industrial design with maximum energy efficiency, user-friendliness and safety
- Thanks to the latest sensor technology and the built-in SmartLight, optimized refiner control and monitoring is possible
- InfibraFiner can be easily installed in all plants worldwide
The market-leading Brazilian paper manufacturer Klabin already has one of the first new InfibraFiners successfully in operation and confirms the positive results.
For optimal operator guidance, Voith experts have developed the SmartLight. The indicator mounted on the cover of the refiner features three color-illuminated segments that provide at-a-glance information about the machine status, performance and current maintenance condition. Numerous parameters such as temperature, pressure and vibration profile are recorded and evaluated. A secure data connection enables reports on the machine status to be created and sent and also offers the option of remote maintenance and remote support. Due to its modular design and based on individual customer requirements, the refiner can also be installed without the digitizing package and SmartLight.
In addition, the InfibraFiner impresses with its clear structures, high-quality surfaces and modern materials. The basis for the design is Voith's innovative "Papermaking Vision" design study, which is aimed at increasing efficiency, safety and sustainability. The smooth surfaces make the refiner easy to clean, while the modular design and integrated gearbox ensure a small footprint. Due to its sophisticated design, the InfibraFiner has already won the Focus Open International Design Award Baden-Württemberg in silver.
