What Is Compressed Air Used For In The Pulp And Paper Industry?
From feeding paper presses and spraying coatings on papers to cutting and pressing processes and the handling of your final products, compressed air is a vital utility for companies operating in the global pulp, paper and printing industries. Other uses include separating and cleaning the raw pulp fibre, bleaching and refining, powering pneumatic machinery and handling materials and resources. The prevalence of compressed air in your applications and processes, therefore, makes it essential to have a reliable, high-performance compressed air solution in place that you can rely on to get the job done. Ingersoll Rand’s best-in-class oil-free rotary and centrifugal technologies are up to the task! There is another fundamental thing to consider, though: air quality.
Why Is High-Quality Air So Important For Pulp And Paper Applications?
As mentioned above, compressed air quality is a vital consideration for the global pulp and paper market. This is because, in order for any pulp and paper processing and manufacturing facility to produce the highest possible quality of paper, their compressed air supply must be of an incredibly high quality. The typical requirement is ISO-certified, Class 0 air. The baseline is that high-quality pulp = high-quality paper, so to ensure your finished product is 100% free from contamination, air quality must be ensured. This includes any compressed air that comes into contact with any of your products and processes. To ensure this level of quality is consistently produced, alongside our expert oil-free rotary and centrifugal solutions, we would also recommend that your facility implements a reliable air treatment system. This will help to eliminate any risk of contamination to ensure that your compressed air meets the quality demands of both your pulp and paper facility and applications and the industry standard.
How Ingersoll Rand Can Help You Maximise The Productivity Of Your Facility And Your Air Quality?
Are you struggling to achieve high-quality, oil-free air for your pulp and paper applications? Or are you struggling with production inefficiencies that are causing you to lose out on profit? Ingersoll Rand can help! Recently, we have partnered with and assisted one of the largest global producers of dissolving pulp, who appeared to be enduring the same fate. To help solve their issues, we drew upon our decades of experience providing solutions for the global pulp, paper and printing industry. We also focused on the knowledge that profitability in the pulp and paper industry largely correlates to the quality and reliability of the machinery in your facility, particularly its ability to operate continuously and produce products of the desired purity.
By analysing our partners' existing compressed air setup and enhancing it with our best-in-class expertise and solutions, we helped them to ramp up their production. In turn, this helped to maximise their efficiency and productivity as our compressors drastically reduced their energy consumption and operating temperatures. This was all achieved while also sustaining optimal air quality by improving their system’s poor moisture control.
