Papillon refiner
Gentle and stable refining

The ANDRITZ Papillon refiner is an innovative refiner with a cylindrical refining zone. Its special geometry combines gentle and homogeneous fiber treatment from refiner inlet to outlet with fast maintenance because the refiner segments are easily accessible.

The Papillon refiner concept offers significant improvements in energy consumption thanks to the compact rotor design compared to competitive refiners in similar applications. Efficient treatment of the fibers throughout the entire refining area is a precondition for superior paper properties. The Papillon refiner has proven its unique design, particularly in virgin and annual fiber applications.
