Pulp and Paper Applications

Rotating and cycling equipment used in pulp and paper processing must function reliably under a variety of extreme operating conditions. From tree harvesting, to wood processing, to the pulping process and finally in the paper mill itself, the bearings in the equipment used must withstand high loading. These high loads are often then magnified by unbalanced or shock loads while processing product that is wet, abrasive and often contains process chemicals as well. Thordon and ThorPlas^© bearings and Thor-Flex wear pads and structural wear components offer solutions proven to dramatically increase MTBF and eliminate grease. Maintenance costs and related down time can be significantly reduced.

In addition to pumps and conveyors, Thordon bearings perform extremely well in jack ladders, pulp and paper agitators and mixers and many other stock lubricated applications where the temperature and pH are within Thordon's working range.
