Abrasion-Resistant Coating for Paper Mill Components

RAK addressed severe wear on spools and nozzles at a paper mill by applying an abrasion-resistant, ceramic-filled coating. The solution significantly extended component lifespan, reduced maintenance and replacement frequency, and improved overall operational efficiency while minimizing downtime.

The Problem

A Paper Mill customer was facing significant wear and tear on critical components like spools and nozzles due to abrasive materials and harsh operating conditions, causing unplanned downtime. This resulted in frequent damages, ongoing maintenance, and costly replacements. A durable solution was needed to protect these components and extend their lifespan, reducing the need for constant repairs.

The Solution

Our team at RAK Industrial Services applied an abrasion-resistant ceramic-filled coating, significantly extending the lifespan of the spools and nozzle by 5-10 times the expected lifespan. This increased durability reduced the frequency of part replacements, leading to substantial savings in maintenance costs and improving overall efficiency.
