Advanced Repair Composites & Coatings for Paper & Pulp Industry

In the pulp and paper industry, machinery faces harsh conditions such as abrasion, erosion, corrosion, extreme temperatures, and chemical impacts. UPS’s advanced epoxy and polyurethane repair composites and protective coatings offer robust protection to counter these challenges.

The corrosive environment of pulp and paper production facilities necessitates regular maintenance to combat wear, erosion, corrosion, and other hazards. UPS provides a versatile range of repair composites and protective coatings tailored for these conditions.

UPS’s cold-curing materials are designed to offer maintenance solutions across various service conditions, effectively reducing downtime, labor costs, and negating the need for equipment replacement.

Restoration and Protection of Solids
Handling Equipment

Equipment like de-barkers, hoppers, screw conveyors, conveyor belts, and drive rollers in pulp and paper mills are particularly prone to abrasion and wear. UPS’s comprehensive selection of metal and rubber repair materials can effectively repair and protect these components. For example, UPS 200 EG CERAMIC REPAIR PASTE is ideal for rebuilding and abrasion-proofing damaged screw conveyors.

Flexible repair options, such as UPS 365 RR RUBBER REPAIR 60 and UPS 367 RR RUBBER REPAIR 80, offer effective solutions for repairing conveyor belts and drive rollers without dismantling the machinery. Our solutions also include positive grip systems to prevent belt slippage, protect drive rollers, and enhance lumber transfer efficiency.

Pump Repair and Enhanced Protection

Severely damaged pumps, including liquid vacuum and fan pumps, can be restored and shielded against future deterioration with our range of epoxy repair materials and coatings. UPS 105 EG THISTLEBOND METAL REPAIR PASTE a cold-applied paste-grade metal repair composite, is particularly effective for mending cracked and holed pumps. Coatings like UPS 205 FG FLUID GRADE CERAMIC offer long-term erosion and corrosion resistance, while UPS 210 CR EFFICIENCY FLUID CERAMIC has been proven to boost pump efficiency significantly.

Mechanical Equipment Repair Solutions

Mechanical components, such as shafts and dryer can journals, often suffer from issues like bearing vibration and wear. Materials like UPS 105 EG THISTLEBOND METAL REPAIR are ideal for repairs, with the latter specifically designed to reduce friction and retain lubrication. For emergency repairs, quick-curing materials like UPS 125 XFP FAST CURING METAL PASTE are ideal.

Evaporator and Heat Exchanger Protection

UPS’s high-performance materials are well-suited for evaporators and heat exchangers affected by erosion, corrosion, high temperatures, and chemical damage. Our repair composites can restore crucial components like tube sheets and water boxes, preventing galvanic corrosion. Materials like UPS 225 HT HIGH TEMPERATURE CERAMIC withstand temperatures up to 130°C, while coatings such as UPS 205 FG FLUID GRADE CERAMIC protect against continuous immersion erosion up to 70°C.

Chipper Disc Repair and Protection

UPS’s range of metal repair composites and coatings also extends to other areas, including secondary containment, structural concrete and steel, pipe leaks, and lumber transfer rollers, ensuring comprehensive maintenance and protection solutions across the pulp and paper industry.
