Centrifugal Compressors for the Pulp & Paper Industry

Industry Requirements & Applications

Pulp and paper mills depend on clean, reliable compressed air to maintain product quality and continuous production.

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.

Industry Solutions

Oil-Free Compression for Demanding Mill Operations


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.

The risk of trace oil reaching the finished product or oil contamination in equipment lines leading to higher maintenance and downtime is avoided with a centrifugal compressor. Condensate generated from a centrifugal compressor is not subject to the same local regulations as oil-contaminated condensate, allowing for easy and low-cost disposal.

Beyond the Price Tag: The Long-Term Cost of Compressed Air

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.
