Pulp and Paper

Pulp and Paper Industry

Stainless steel is an essential material in the pulp and paper industry, used for manufacturing everything from pulp digesters to paper machines and pipelines, due to its exceptional resistance to corrosion, wear, and aggressive chemicals like acids and alkalis. It also protects against iron contamination and is a sustainable choice thanks to its 100% recyclability.

Common Stainless Steel Applications in the Sector

Pulp Preparation Equipment

Continuous digesters, pulpers, mixing screws, hoppers, and screens are often made of stainless steel to withstand the aggressive conditions of the pulping process.

Paper Machines

Stainless steel is used in both wet and dry sections of paper machines, including headboxes, Fourdriniers, and presses.

Piping Systems and Tanks

Pipelines and chemical storage tanks use stainless steel for their durability and resistance to the substances used in the process.

Additional Benefits

Durability and Recyclability

Stainless steel is a durable, 100% recyclable material, contributing to the circular economy and reducing the industry's environmental footprint.

Custom Solutions

Specialized companies manufacture custom stainless steel products, such as special profiles and complex parts, to meet the specific needs of pulp and paper mills.
