SEDIS – Chains for the Paper Industry

Operating zones
Paper mills expose chains to wet chemistry in the forming/press sections and to elevated speeds and heat in the dry end—each requiring targeted materials and lubrication.

Engineering choices

• Corrosion‑resistant treatments for humid/chemical splash; heat‑capable joints for dryer proximity.
• High‑precision manufacture to minimize vibration at speed and protect bearings and frames.
• Attachment sets for felt handling, roll transfer and bale movement.

Dimensioning

• • Evaluate maximum chain speed vs. lubrication regime to avoid galling.
  • Check guide materials and profile to reduce side wear and noise through curves.

 

Service

• • • Use condition‑based relubrication; monitor temperature and sound to detect dry‑running.
    • Replace in matched sections to prevent skew and uneven tension.
