Paper mills
Paper mills and pulp mills are facilities where piping systems are exposed to a combination of high temperatures, humid environments, and chemically aggressive media. Hot air, steam, and process liquid distribution systems run throughout the entire plant, and their reliable operation is a prerequisite for continuous production.
KDMM fabric expansion joints have proven themselves in the paper industry primarily due to their resistance to moisture, chemical influences, and their ability to capture movements arising from thermal stress in extensive piping systems.
Typical applications in paper mills and pulp mills:
- Expansion joints in hot air inlets and outlets to the paper machine
- Fabric expansion joints in air ducts of drying sections
- Flexible connections at fans and exhaust systems
- Expansion joints in steam and condensate distribution systems
- WILLBRANDT rubber expansion joints in process water and chemical distribution systems
- LISEGA pipe hangers and supports for extensive piping systems throughout the plant
Continuous production in paper mills places high demands on the speed of spare parts delivery during unplanned shutdowns. Thanks to our in-house fabric expansion joint manufacturing, we are able to ensure delivery within 24 hours of receiving an order.
