PAPER INDUSTRY
From pulp preparation to high-speed winding, bearings in the paper industry face heat, steam, misalignment, and constant rotation. They’re critical in dryers, rollers, and calendar stacks — where performance under pressure defines output quality.
Bearings Used in Paper Industry:
Cylindrical Roller Bearings
Handle heavy radial loads in press rolls, drying cylinders, and rollers.
Self-Aligning Ball Bearings
Compensate for shaft misalignment in long rollers and prevent edge stress.
High-Temperature Bearings
Operate reliably in dryer sections exposed to heat and humidity.
Insulated Deep Groove Ball Bearings
Protect drive motors from electrical current leakage and fluting damage.
Core Challenges in PAPER APPLICATIONS
Heat & Steam Exposure
Dryer sections generate extreme temperatures and moisture that degrade bearings.
Misalignment Across Long Rollers
Large shafts shift over time, stressing standard bearings.
Electrical Currents in Motors
High-speed motors can cause current leakage and bearing fluting.
High-Speed Continuous Lines
Failure at one point can halt entire paper production sections.
