Maintenance predictability with SMARTlink
Interruptions are extremely expensive in the pulp and paper manufacturing process because it is a continuous operation. That is why our SMARTlink monitoring system perfectly suits this industry. It connects the compressors to any device you want and allows you to monitor and analyze the products during production. When a problem occurs or a shutdown is imminent the system will warn you so you can schedule the necessary maintenance. This reduces losses that are normally experienced during a shutdown or maintenance. Read more on SMARTlink
Lowest total cost of ownership possible
We always strive to achieve what our customers want. In an energy intensive industry such as the pulp and paper manufacturing industry this means having a reliable and qualitative continuous airflow from compressors with low energy consumption. Finally, there is no need for extra investments concerning noise cancelling rooms or to counter vibrations. This makes our products' total cost of ownership low in comparison with other compressed air solutions
Benefits of oil-free air
Air quality in the pulp and paper manufacturing industry has great influence on the quality of the end product. Any oil in the air can easily contaminate the product. This is especially important for products such as: high-quality printing paper, hygiene products, baby diapers, tissues and towels and all other quality paper products. Finally, there is no maintenance needed for filter problems or replacing membranes as is the case with oil-injected air, which further decreases the total cost of ownership.
Oxygen generation for pulp and paper
On-site oxygen production is essential for the pulp and paper industry. Products such as paper, tissue, and eco-friendly packing material, are supported by oxygen injection to speed up the delignification of pulp, increases lime kiln capacity and reduces consumption of expensive bleaching chemicals, all to enable efficient and quality production.

Oil-free air solutions for high quality printing
Lidergraf, a successful Portuguese graphic arts company, uses compressed air, blower and vacuum solutions to meet its demand for 100% oil-free, high-quality air to ensure the quality of its products.
Applications
Pneumatic conveying
Compressed air is used for pneumatic transport of pulp and wastepaper.
Drying & cooling
Air is used to cool down the paper after it is pressed. If this air is contaminated it would pollute the end product.
Wastewater treatment
The pulp and paper manufacturing process needs a lot of water. That is why the plants are situated next to a water way most of the time. The water that is extracted has to be cleaned of minerals, bacteria and more before it can be used in the manufacturing process. Read more on wastewater treatment
Air motor & air knife
Air knives deliver a continuous flow of high velocity air to strip away moisture and debris. A reliable supply of low pressure air to work succesfully.
