Wear-resistant components for stock pumps, screens and dryers
Pulp and paper mills are some of the most demanding environments for engineering plastics — abrasive wood-fibre slurries, hot bleach chemistry, continuous high-speed operation and 24/7 production schedules. We supply UHMW-PE wear plates, aramid gland packing for stock pumps, PTFE seats for valve service and PEEK precision parts that survive the heat and chemistry. Built for headboxes, refiners, presses and drying sections.
Specific applications across the industry where our materials are commonly specified.
Aramid (Kevlar) and PTFE/graphite gland packing for fibre-laden centrifugal stock pumps. Resists extrusion and abrasion.
UHMW-PE liners on chutes, hoppers and screw conveyors — extremely abrasion resistant and easy to replace.
Machined PEEK and PTFE-alloy parts for headbox internals — dimensionally stable in hot wet stock.
PE / PEEK blade holders, creasing rolls and guide components — long service life under continuous contact.
Wear-resistant PE and PEEK components for pressure screens — preserves slot geometry over millions of cycles.
Machined plastic components in refiners, fan pumps and bleaching equipment.
