The global pulp and paper markets continue to experience aggressive growth as the consumption of pulp and paper products increases annually. Meeting this demand is extremely challenging due to the wide variety of processing needs from raw lumber and pulp processing to finished product production of vastly different products as seen in some of the examples below:
- Paperboard
- Cardboard boxes and cartons
- Tissue paper
- Diapers
- Personal hygiene products
- Containerboard
- Bags and envelopes
The production levels are extremely large and can be very demanding, given the daily challenge of heavy slurries and dense solids common to this processing environment. Choosing the right pump is mission-critical in order to maintain production yields and avoid costly downtime.
