For sale is a heavy-duty ANDRITZ TwinFlo III 42-Inch Low-Consistency Double Disc Pulp Refiner, built in 1998 under Serial Number 1998-00818. The TwinFlo line is widely recognized as a foundational workhorse for paper mill stock preparation systems, utilizing two parallel refining zones within a symmetric, heavy-duty housing to deliver balanced fiber fibrillation and optimized drainage characteristics.
This unit was decommissioned from an active paper mill facility during an asset liquidation phase. It is an exceptional match for continuous processing of chemical pulps (hardwood/softwood), secondary recycled fiber furnishes, and specialty tissue or board stocks.
Technical Specifications
• Manufacturer: ANDRITZ (Muncy, PA, USA)
• Model/Series: TwinFlo III (Nameplate: 42-TF III)
• Serial Number: 1998-00818
• Year of Manufacture: 1998
• Nominal Disc Size: 42 Inches
• Equipment Type: Pressurized horizontal-shaft, low-consistency double-disc refiner
• Rotor Feature: Floating spline shaft technology for self-centering disc alignment and uniform energy delivery.
• Primary Application: Fiber fibrillation, freeness reduction, tensile/burst strength development, and sheet formation control.
Features & Operational Benefits
• Spline Shaft Balancing: Features a free-floating rotor disc that automatically balances hydraulic forces between both refining zones. This self-centering design eliminates uneven axial thrust and maximizes the operational lifespan of the plates.
• Swing-Door Mechanical Access: Engineered with a heavy-duty front-swing door layout, granting maintenance crews fast, unhindered access to the internal cavity for rapid plate segment replacement and minimal maintenance downtime.
• Symmetrical Cast Housing: Exceptionally rigid casting designed to withstand continuous high hydraulic line pressures and harsh chemical environments typical of industrial mill stock prep plants.
• Global Spares Ecosystem: Due to the widespread adoption of the ANDRITZ 42-TF platform, standard segmented plate profiles and wear parts are universally available from multiple global aftermarket suppliers.
Condition & Logistics
• Condition: Used industrial surplus. Carefully removed from a operational paper mill setting. Heavy cast casing, main shaft, adjustment linkages, and swing-door hinges are intact and structurally sound. Expect standard cosmetic surface wear and superficial scale consistent with long-term industrial use. Internal plate pattern inspection is recommended prior to custom commissioning.
• Shipping & Freight: Freight Pickup Only. The buyer assumes full responsibility for hiring certified heavy machinery rigging crews, crane services, and securing a heavy flatbed transportation carrier.
