Optimize production processes with equipment that ensures precise and controlled digestion, efficient fiber refining, effective screening, and reliable separation, resulting in improved pulp quality, reduced waste, and enhanced overall efficiency. By achieving optimal processing conditions, pulp manufacturers can produce high-quality pulp more efficiently, maximizing resource utilization and minimizing environmental impact.
The Manufacturing Process
Create economies of scale across your system
Each of these stages requires specific types of industrial rotating equipment. Proper operation and maintenance of this equipment are vital for the efficiency, safety, and profitability of the pulp manufacturing industry.
Wood Chipping
Logs are cut into small chips by chippers, which use rotating blades to cut the wood efficiently.
Pulping
The wood chips are cooked and broken down to create pulp, a process that may involve rotating equipment like digesters, mixers, and agitators.
Washing & Screening
Once pulping is done, the pulp is washed and screened to remove any remaining lignin and other impurities. Rotating screens and washers are used in this process.
Bleaching
If the pulp is to be used for making white paper, it is bleached to remove color. This process can involve rotating equipment like mixers and pumps.
Refining
The pulp may be further refined to break down the fibers and improve their bonding potential. Refiners, which include rotating components, are used for this purpose.
Dewatering
Pulp may need to be dewatered before being used in papermaking or before being stored. This process can involve rotating equipment like screw presses or centrifuges.
Pumping
Pumps, which are a type of rotating equipment, are used extensively in pulp manufacturing to move fluids and slurries around the site.
Maintenance & Cleaning
Equipment like pressure washers and rotary brushes, which include rotating parts, can be used for cleaning and maintaining other pulp industry equipment.
