Production Advantages for the Pulp and Paper IndustryCoarse pulp transfer system.

Competing in today’s pulp and paper market requires optimum performance. Efficient, timely production depends on your plant’s ability to supply what your customers need without setbacks.

During your pulp and paper production, chipping operations, conveyor systems, bins, storage silos, and dust collectors must work reliably while minimizing dust and spillage. In particular, chipping operations, especially those involving dry feedstock, have to meet more stringent safety and environmental standards for dust control at paper mills ever.

Benetech solutions for material handling and dust management at pulp and paper mills help reduce risks such as fires and explosions to ensure maximum output, less maintenance, and a safer, cleaner operation.

Material Handling Issues That Matter to You

Pulp and paper mills face a high risk of dust fires. The plant must have proper dust control and management systems and procedures to maintain steady production at acceptable risk levels. Together with dust generation, the relatively low bulk density of the dust and agglomerations increases fire risk because of an increased surface area and porosity that lets air easily mix with the dust. Whether due to spillage, carryback, or belt mistracking, just one snag can halt your operations.

As a pulp and paper plant operator, you’re especially alert for spillage and fugitive dust concerning transfer chutes and conveyor carryback. Dust and spillage can interfere with production and create hazards. Similarly, worn components such as chutes, cleaners, belts, idlers, trackers, and ploughs can threaten operations. They also prevent the conveyor belt from achieving its design capabilities.

Specialists in Conveyor Systems at Pulp and Paper Plants: Case in Point

Benetech understands what it takes to continue pulp and production at total capacity. We provide you with the assessments and solutions for superior material conveying systems and dust control.

Benetech recently solved a dust-management challenge for a Canadian pulp mill struggling with aging transfer chutes. The existing chutes had not been built with combustible-dust containment in mind and did not control material flow.

The plant faced significant dust, spillage, and pluggage issues. The uncontrolled material was shortening the life of equipment, including the conveyor belt. In addition to increasing efficiency, the plant wanted to reduce combustible dust and improve operational safety.

Benetech partnered with the plant to assess the situation and provide an engineered solution to control the material flow and prevent spillage and dust. At the same time, we would extend the belt life and create a more secure working environment.
