On-Site Services
Paper Industry · Field Maintenance
We bring our equipment and expertise to your mill. No machine relocation required — all services are performed in-place to minimize downtime.
Headbox Cleaning & Polishing
Optimize machine runnability and prevent fiber hang-ups, slime, and organic deposits by implementing our integrated surface treatment. We provide deep chemical cleaning and mechanical polishing for all process vessels and pipework, followed by an advanced non-stick micro-coating to minimize future buildup and downtime.
Shaft Repair & Modification
High-density metal spraying or sleeve installation for worn or damaged shafts. Tapered bearing seat restoration, key nut machining. Dimensional restoration to original specification.
Dryer-to-VacRoll Modifications
In machine conversion of dryer cylinders to vacuum rolls for improved machine runability and performance. Shell driling and grinding with additional instalation of separator chamber.
Balancing
On-site dynamic balancing of various rolls and cylinders to specified balance grades and machine speeds.
General Machining
Grinding, drilling, milling, turning and grooving of large equipment parts performed on-site using tailor-made equipment.
Grinding & Coating
Grinding, thermal coating and teflonizing of rolls and cylinders directly in the paper machine — no disassembly or transport to workshop required. We restore surface finish, diameter, roundness and coating. Typical applications include drying cylinders, pope rolls, where machine downtime must be kept to a minimum.
