Centrifugal Compressors for the Pulp & Paper Industry
Compressed air supports pneumatic controls, roller adjustments, coating equipment, and other essential mill operations. Consistent pressure and flow help equipment perform as intended, while air quality is especially important where compressed air contacts paper or coating materials.
For mills operating around the clock, interruptions in air supply can disrupt production and increase costs. Manufacturers need efficient compressed air systems that meet process demands, limit maintenance downtime, and help protect products from oil contamination.
Centrifugal compressors offer ISO 8573-1 Class 0 oil-free air, at the highest efficiency with the lowest maintenance requirements and cost of ownership.
FS-Elliott centrifugal air compressors allow low maintenance and maximum uptime to ensure the pulp and paper mills are constantly in production, allowing the factory to run at its highest efficiency. In fact, all FS-Elliot centrifugal compressors are ideal for pulp and paper manufacturing because they are certified to deliver ISO 8573-1 Class 0 oil-free compressed air, meaning they deliver the cleanest air to run the plant.

Compressed air is one of the most widely used utilities in industrial operations, and one of the most expensive. While the upfront cost of a compressor often gets the spotlight, it’s only a small part of the total cost of ownership. The real expenses come from energy consumption, system inefficiencies, maintenance practices, consumables, and downtime.
Keeping up with preventative maintenance is a vital part of maintaining a compressor’s efficiency and lifespan. This requires periodic replacement of air compressor parts such as air filters and lubricants.
