Wood and Paper Industry

The wood and paper industry relies heavily on efficient conveyor belts to transport everything from raw logs to finished products. But these belts face unique challenges that can lead to costly downtime and production delays.

Here are some of the most common issues:

Abrasive materials: Wood chips, sawdust, and paper dust are highly abrasive, causing rapid wear and tear on belts. This can lead to belt breakage, product contamination, and increased maintenance costs.

Moisture and chemicals: The presence of moisture and chemicals like bleach can weaken belts and lead to corrosion. This can shorten the lifespan of the belt and create safety hazards.

High impact: Heavy logs and bales of paper can put a lot of stress on belts, causing damage and misalignment. This can lead to downtime and production disruptions.
