Paper Plant Applications

In paper and pulp plants, filtration machines are heavily utilized for maintaining the machinery's lubrication/hydraulic oils (to prevent water and particle contamination).

The primary solutions and machine specifications configured for Indian paper mills span these major application zones:

1. Oil Purification & Machine Lubrication

Paper mills operate in extremely humid, wet and dusty environments, making oil filtration critical to prevent bearing and gearbox failure. Continuous or bypass oil purifiers are deployed directly across critical mill nodes:

• The Dryer Section: High temperatures cause oil oxidation and varnish build-up. Vacuum dehydration units are used in line to boil off water under a vacuum without damaging the base oil properties.
• The Wet End & Wire Section: This zone experiences aggressive water and pulp fibre ingress. High-density depth filters pull out cellulose micro-fibres and moisture down to safe NAS limits.
• Auxiliary Mill Equipment: Automated systems filter the hydraulic systems of paper slitter rewinders, broke pulpers, paper cutting/pressing equipment and main mill belt conveyor gear boxes.
