The paper industry is an industry that constantly demands maintenance, due to the conditions found throughout it’s many processes. Armoloy has the answer to extend the life of parts, and increase maintenance periods in many of these applications. Not only will the parts last longer, but maintenance costs will also be brought down due to less downtime, and lower frequency of part replacement.

The paper industry has two main factors that contribute to high maintenance levels, the abrasive nature of the materials being processed, and the corrosive chemicals found throughout the different stages.

Due to the abrasive nature of paper from its raw stages to its fully processed stage, many parts experience high levels of wear, Armoloy’s micro nodular surface and 78HRc surface hardness provide these wearing surfaces with a much higher level of resistance to the abrasive conditions they face, in certain cases increasing life of the components by up to five times.

The paper industry also incorporates many different chemical processes with some of these chemicals being highly corrosive. Armoloy’s chemical composition allows it to offer excellent corrosion resistance and chemical resistance in most areas.
