Air Motors for the Paper Production Industry

From DEPRAG, Inc.
 

 

How did paper originate? The procedure has changed very little since 105 AD, the date when the process of paper manufacture was first recorded. Fibres are moistened in water and then scooped out with a sieve. This paper web is then pressed and dried. Today, gigantic paper machines are used to automatically perform the various processing steps that turn the pulp into paper.

This is an enormous challenge for machine builders because the individual components making up their products have to be able to withstand extreme pressures. To this end, DEPRAG SCHULZ GmbH & Co. in Amberg, Germany, manufactures a range of air vane motors made from stainless steel that are proven to be the optimal drive solution for this kind of manufacturing.

Early on in the process, for example, pulp, wood pulp and waste paper fibres are all mixed together, diluted in water and then treated with a chemical bulking agent. The resulting mixture needs to be "stirred" again and again. DEPRAG air vane motors made from stainless steel are ideal for this job. In fact, they were expressly designed for use in these kinds of extreme conditions, being water-vapour resistant, insensitive to acids and heat, and highly durable.
