Blow Valve Modifications

Refiner Products Manufacturing (RPM) has provided help on refiner systems to the wood products industry since the company began in May 1988. RPM has modified the designs and application of Sunds Metso refiners to allow for more production and more efficient operation.

In 2000, a customer in the Northeast was having issues getting increased production out of their Sunds Metso 6” blow valve. RPM was asked to determine the issue limiting the production and find a solution. It was determined that the blow valve nozzle bushing, shutter, and shutter plate were the reason. Next, RPM looked at the mechanics of the Sunds blow valve and determined there was room in the blowvalve body to increase the opening size and thus allow additional production to leave the housing. Since that time, RPM has done the same work on the Sunds Metso 8” blow valve with the same success.

This modification work continued our effort to help the mills that do not have the luxury of upgrading to the next series Defibrator, but need to get the most out of what they already own.
