Air compressors are widely used in the paper industry, providing the power source needed for a variety of pneumatic tools, equipment and processes. Here are some of the key applications of air compressors in the paper industry.
1.Pulp Pond Air Supply: Used to stir the pulp pond to ensure that the fibers and fillers are evenly distributed.
2.Control system: Provide power for control systems such as pneumatic valves to ensure precise control of the production process.
3.Forming and drying: In the process of producing newsprint, the compressed air provided by the air compressor is used for the forming and drying process of the paper.
4.Pulp container sterilization: Compressed air is used for the sterilization of pulp containers.
5.Air cushion equipment: A film of compressed air is formed between the heavy object and the worktop, so that the heavy paper bundle can be easily moved on the paper-cutting machine.
6.Paper cutting: The air compressor provides power to the paper cutting machine, ensuring the precision of the cutting process.
7.Shipping process: In the production of paper, high-pressure gas is used to transport paper from one place to another.
8.Maintenance: Air compressors are used to provide cleaning and maintenance for machines and equipment, extending equipment life and improving production efficiency.
9.Air Motors and Air Knives: Air knives provide a continuous, high-velocity airflow to remove moisture and debris from the surface of the paper.
10.Wastewater treatment: Compressed air is used for aeration in wastewater treatment processes to help remove contaminants from water.
11.Drying and cooling: Air is used to cool the paper after pressing, and if the air is contaminated, it can contaminate the end product.
In the paper industry, the stability, reliability, quality and energy saving of the compressed air system directly affect the business interests of the paper industry. The energy consumption of the compressed air system accounts for a large proportion (10~20%) of the energy consumption of the whole papermaking, so when choosing an air compressor, you need to consider factors such as pressure and flow demand, energy consumption and efficiency, reliability and stability, maintenance and maintenance.
