Pulp & paper
Monitoring paper machines and mill auxiliaries
Our solutions for this industry
A paper machine runs hundreds of rolls and bearings at high speed in sync. A web break or unplanned PM shutdown is expensive — roll and drive condition must be watched continuously.
Bently Nevada — vibration monitoring
Roll, dryer and calender protection on the PM line; defibrator and pump-station coverage against sudden failures.

Early bearing faults and precision greasing across hundreds of nodes; steam and compressed-air leak surveys.
Learn moreArtesis — motor current monitoring
Pulping drives, pumps and fans diagnosed from the MCC — no sensors in wet, aggressive areas.
