The junk refiner is a device that converts junk into refined components at a rate of 100:1.

It will explode after refining an amount of junk dependent on the user's Invention level (see below). Higher Invention levels allow the device to create more refined components before it explodes, up to a maximum of 20 at level 120 and beyond. Using temporary skill boosts will not allow players to create more than 20 components per refiner, but it can increase components per device. It takes 3 seconds (5 game ticks) for each set of junk to be converted. Each set of junk converted gives 10 Invention experience. The amount of junk converted by a refiner can be checked by using the right click option "Check".

Discovering this device requires level 22 Invention. It can be used before level 22 but each junk refiner will only produce 9 refined components. Success in creating the blueprints earns 1,541 Invention experience.
