Paper industry
Pumps are essential in the paper industry for transporting liquids and pulp. They are used in moving water, chemicals and inks. Pumps must be able to withstand abrasive materials and high temperatures and pressures.
Specific pumps for every application
There are several types of pumps used in the paper industry, each with specific applications. Some of the most commonly used pumps are discussed below.
Centrifugal Pumps:
Centrifugal pumps are used to move water and other liquids through the production process. They are robust, energy efficient and can withstand high pressure.
Screw pumps:
Screw pumps are ideal for transporting thick and viscous liquids, such as pulp. They are very efficient and can move large amounts of material.
Diaphragm Pumps:
Diaphragm pumps are used for transporting liquids that are susceptible to damage, such as chemicals. They are quiet and energy efficient.
In the papermaking process it is important to ensure a constant flow of liquids and pulp. Pumps are therefore indispensable for efficient production and guaranteeing the quality of the end product.
In addition, the pumps must be reliable and durable to ensure that the production process is continuous. That is why it is important to invest in high-quality pumps that meet the specific requirements of the paper industry.
The heart of the production process
Paper Industry and Pumps
The paper industry is one of the largest and most influential industries in the world. From newspapers to packaging material, paper plays an important role in our daily lives. But behind the production of paper lies a complex and technical production process, in which pumps are a crucial part.
Paper is made from cellulose, a natural material derived from wood, and through a series of chemical and physical steps, cellulose turns into paper. In this production process, pumps are needed to transport and process liquids, pulp and water.

Selecting the right pump
Selecting the right pump for the paper industry is essential as it affects productivity and the quality of the final product. An incorrect choice of pumps can lead to blockages, interruptions in production, and in the worst case, damage to the machines and the product. This results in higher recovery costs and loss of production efficiency.
In addition, the pumps must be suitable for the specific liquids and substances that are processed. For example, if the fluids are corrosive, the pumps should be made of stainless steel to prevent rust and corrosion. If the liquids are heavy or thick, specially designed screw pumps must be used to move them effectively.
In addition, the pumps must be able to operate under high pressure and temperatures, as these conditions occur in the production process. Therefore, the pumps must be designed with specific safety features and protection systems, such as overheating protection and automatic shut-off, to reduce the risk of damage or breakdown.
The right pump for your application
Selecting the right pump for the paper industry is critical as it determines how effective and efficient the production process is. Investing in high-quality and suitable pumps guarantees efficient production, high quality of the end product and reduces the risk of interruptions and costly repair work.
