Tired of Changing JC Conflo Fillings Every Few Months? Parason ERP™ Lasts 25-40% Longer
Standard cast fillings wear out fast — especially in OCC, mechanical pulp, and abrasive applications. Every filling change means hours of downtime, production loss, and maintenance headaches. Parason ERP™ technology and welded filling options dramatically extend service life.

Why Your JC Conflo Fillings Wear Out Too Fast
Short filling life means constant maintenance cycles, lost production, and rising costs.
Rapid Edge Rounding
Standard cast fillings suffer from progressive edge rounding. In abrasive applications, effective refining life may be only 4-8 months. The last 2-3 months run at degraded performance before change.
Cracking in Demanding Applications
Cast fillings can crack when exposed to high-consistency stock, metallic contaminants, or thermal shock. A cracked filling must be replaced immediately — even if bar edges still have life.
Inconsistent Hardness
Some cast fillings have hardness variations across the surface. Softer areas wear faster, creating uneven bar heights that cause vibration, uneven refining, and premature failure.
Each Change = Hours of Downtime
Every filling change requires 4-12 hours: shutdown, cool-down, crane positioning, old filling removal, new filling installation, alignment check, and start-up. With 3-4 refiners, it's a constant maintenance burden.
Skilled Labor Required
Filling changes need experienced technicians who understand alignment, torque specifications, and gap calibration. Many mills struggle with technician availability during planned shutdowns.
Production Loss Per Change
At $5,000-15,000 per hour of lost production, each filling change costs far more than the filling itself. Fewer changes = significant annual savings.
The True Cost of Frequent Filling Changes
A filling change isn't just the cost of the filling — it's the downtime, labor, crane rental, production loss, and quality disruption during start-up. Multiply by 3-4 refiners and 2-4 changes per year each.
Fillings That Last Longer. Changes That Happen Less.
Parason extends filling life through advanced metallurgy, precision manufacturing, and application-specific alloy selection.
ERP™ Edge Retention Property
Parason's exclusive metallurgical innovation uses special alloy steel with optimized heat treatment. Bar edges stay sharp 25-40% longer than conventional cast fillings. Same refining quality for more months.
Welded Fillings for Extreme Applications
Where cast fillings crack, Parason offers welded fillings that are 50-80% more durable. Ideal for OCC with metallic contaminants, high-consistency refining, and abrasive mechanical pulp applications.
Uniform Hardness: 35-42 HRC
Parason's quality-controlled heat treatment ensures consistent hardness across the entire filling surface. No soft spots, no uneven wear, no premature failure from hardness variations.
Precision CNC Ground Edges
Bar edges are CNC-ground for optimal initial sharpness and geometry. Better starting condition means longer effective refining life before edges round off.
Custom Alloy Selection
Parason metallurgists select the optimal alloy composition based on your application severity. More abrasive applications get harder, more wear-resistant alloys. Less demanding applications get balanced alloys for best cost-performance ratio.
Filling Health Monitoring Guidance
Parason provides guidelines for monitoring filling wear through SEC tracking, vibration trends, and visual inspection. Know exactly when to change — not too early (wasting life) or too late (wasting energy).
Choose the Right Filling Type for Your Application
Calculate Your Savings from Longer-Lasting Fillings
Fewer Changes Per Year
25-40% longer life = 1-2 fewer changes per refiner per year. With 4 refiners: 4-8 fewer shutdowns annually.
Reduced Downtime
4-8 fewer changes × 4-12 hours each = 16-96 fewer hours of downtime per year. At $5,000-15,000/hr = $80,000-$1,440,000 saved.
Lower Filling Spend
Even at same price per filling, fewer changes mean 25-40% lower annual filling expenditure. Combined with 40-50% lower unit price = massive savings.
Potential Annual Savings
Depending on mill size, number of refiners, and application severity
