Wear Resistant Systems for the Paper industry
Maintain plant efficiency and integrity with Kingfisher Industrial
Plant Corrosion – we understand the pain
Massive demand for recycled paper both locally and globally is placing a huge strain on the supply chain with resources, efficiencies and investment under more pressure than ever before. From receipt of recycled materials being supplied in varying grades and qualities, the process of pulping, cleaning, separating and drying generates both corrosion and abrasion within the plant. Despite the technology being able to cater for the variants in the supply, the equipment very rarely uses materials suitable to extend the service life of equipment as in some instances this negates resupply potential for OEM’s.
Increase plant efficiency and service longevity
Having worked in the paper industry for many years, we have identified opportunities where our involvement has given significant return to the operation. In understanding the dynamics of equipment used to process and treat the raw and recycled materials, we have introduced a range of technically superior materials that have extended the life of the components along with improving the efficiency the operation. Our success has been built on working with engineers and obtaining the facts of previous and current procedures aligned with matching our knowledge of our range of protection systems within our portfolio of solutions.
The Solution Providers
In many instances we can retrofit our solutions into the majority of applications without having to alter the structure of design. Hydrapulpers, turbo separators, cyclones, refiners, pumps and impellers to name but a few applications have benefited from systems used to protect the internal surfaces from material degradation. However, where the need arises to modify the original equipment, our skilled design and manufacturing personnel can undertake the removal, modifications and installation of the plant ensuring total control from start to finish.
Protection over replacement
See below an example how Kingfisher Industrial can help with Wear Protection within the Paper industry
Problem
Kingfisher received an enquiry to manufacture, surface protect and supply a replacement 2 x High Density cleaning cones from a paper mill based in the Middle East, as these High Density Cleaning cones are designed to remove foreign particles such as staples, stones screws, nails, pebbles and other contaminated material within a paper mill. The existing cones had worn out, causing the casing to perforate through.
Solution
Having previously supplied these cones, Kingfisher again proposed to manufacture them from stainless steel and installed an internal protection liner being our K-ALOX superior ceramic lining system. Kingfisher were awarded a single tender to manufacture and supply two complete assemblies (volute inlet & reject cones) on the basis of the success experienced by the end-user from a previous contract.
Benefit
Kingfisher’s K-ALOX lining system is an ideal system to combat highly abrasive mixed material providing a successful ROI for the end user for 7 years, resulting in enhanced operational uptime and a significant saving in maintenance and replacement costs.
Key Benefits
Improved Wear Resistance
Lining System can be replaced
Increased Operational Uptime
Reduction in Maintenance Costs
