Pulp & Paper Industry
Paper mills are characterized by massive, non-stop machinery operating in highly corrosive, wet, and humid environments. Steam-heated drying cylinders subject bearings to constant internal heat, while wet-end processes drown components in water and process chemicals.
Machine Details & Applications
Wet End(Forming & Press Sections)
Bearings and adjustment mechanisms are exposed to continuous water deluge. Lubricants must feature exceptional water separation (demulsibility)and rust inhibition.
Dryer Section (Steam Cylinders)
Large roller bearings operate under high loads at temperatures over 150°C while steam circulates through the journal. Oils must possess incredible thermal-oxidative stability to prevent oil lines from plugging with sludge.
Calender Stacks
Heavy rolls exert massive linear pressure to smooth out the paper sheet, requiring high-film-strength synthetic gear and bearing lubricants.
