Finedge refiner plates in Cast, Welded & Milled configurations with zero draft angle, 1.0-2.8mm bar widths, 17-4 PH metallurgy, and re-milling capability for 2-3 life cycles. Manufactured in Parason's integrated foundry, welding, and CNC facility for 75+ countries.
Parason Finedge Cast Refiner Plates are produced with advanced casting and CNC technology, ensuring high precision and uniformity across the refining zone.
Advanced Metallurgy: Manufactured in Parason's own foundry using superior alloy composition, these plates offer uniform hardness, high wear resistance, and durability under demanding conditions.
Optimum Life: Precision heat treatment and machining provide longer plate life, uniform wear, reduced maintenance, and consistent refining performance.
Fibre Treatment: Optimized bar and groove design ensures gentle fibre fibrillation, better fibre bonding, and improved paper quality with lower energy use.

Parason Finedge Welded Bar Refiner Plates are manufactured using special CNC technology with Robotic Welding to provide the maximum uniformity in the refining zone.
Special Welding Metallurgy: Parason Finedge Welded Refiner Plates are cast in special metallurgy suitable for special welding technology with higher bar height and lower bar width.
Precision Manufacturing: Parason precision special Cast, Laser and Welding, manufacturing process minimizes groove width variations, which allows finer bar to optimize low intensity applications. Plate life is maximized due to higher bar height.

Zero Draft Angle — More Bar Height
Parason Finedge Milled Bar Refiner Plates are manufactured using CNC technology to provide the maximum uniformity in the refining zone.
Solid Piece Casting: Parason milled bars are cast in own foundry as a solid piece to provide uniform hardness throughout. The plates will wear uniformly over a time. The zero draft angle on the bars help in maintaining longer hydraulics.
Re-Milling Technology: The Parason precision CNC Milling manufacturing process provides accurate groove width, which allows finer bar to optimize low intensity applications. Plate life is maximized by re-milling which allows 2-3 life cycles.

Selecting the right Finedge plate depends on your fibre type, refining intensity, and total cost of ownership. Use the decision guide below to match your application with the optimal plate technology. For mixed-furnish applications, also consider VRD plates with dual-zone refining capability.
| Criteria | Choose Cast | Choose Welded | Choose Milled |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary Fibre | Hardwood, Recycled | Hardwood, Recycled | Hardwood, TMP, Cotton, Non-wood |
| Refining Intensity | Low to medium | Very low (finest bars) | Low to medium |
| Cost Priority | Standard lifecycle cost | Performance-focused | Lowest cost/tonne (re-milling) |
| Key Advantage | Half-dam for residence time | Narrowest bars (1.0mm) | 2-3 life cycles via re-milling |
