Pulp and Paper

Belzona’s cutting-edge technology will protect the equipment in pulp and paper plants.

Pulp and paper manufacturing facilities often face numerous maintenance challenges due to their corrosive environments. Equipment exposed to wear, erosion, corrosion, high temperatures, and chemical damage can be effectively maintained using Belzona's versatile repair composites and protective coatings. At Industrial Maintenance Solutions, our cold-curing materials offer reliable maintenance solutions for equipment operating under a range of conditions, helping to reduce downtime, minimize labor costs, and eliminate the need for equipment replacement.

Solids handling equipment restoration and protection

Solids handling equipment, such as de-barkers, hoppers, screw conveyors, conveyor belts, and drive rollers, is prone to abrasion and wear due to the materials they process. At Industrial Maintenance Solutions, we use Belzona's range of metal and rubber repair materials to repair and protect this equipment. Durable composites like Belzona 1811 (Ceramic Carbide) rebuild damaged screw conveyors and provide long-term abrasion resistance. Flexible repairs for conveyor belts and drive rollers can be made with Belzona 2111 (D&A Hi-Build Elastomer) and Belzona 2311 (SR Elastomer) without disassembly, preventing belt slippage and protecting rollers from abrasion and corrosion, ultimately improving equipment performance.

Pump repair and protection

Severely damaged pumps, including liquid vacuum pumps and fan pumps, can be restored to their original profile and protected from deterioration using our range of epoxy repair materials and coatings. Belzona cold-applied paste grade metal repair composites, such as Belzona 1111 (Super Metal), can be used to repair cracked and holed pumps.

Mechanical equipment repair

Mechanical equipment such as shafts and dryer can journals can suffer from bearing vibration, wear and lubrication loss. These can be repaired using materials such as Belzona 1111 (Super Metal) and Belzona 1131 (Bearing Metal). The latter will reduce friction at start up by trapping and holding lubricating oil. Bearing failure can be quickly repaired with fast-curing materials like Belzona 1212, which is specifically designed for emergency repairs.

Evaporator and heat exchanger protection

Belzona manufactures a variety of high performance materials for evaporators and heat exchangers damaged by the effects of erosion, corrosion, high temperatures and chemical attack. Our cold-curing repair composites can be used to restore components such as tube sheets, flange faces, water boxes and end covers prone to erosion and corrosion damage, including galvanic corrosion.
