Lubrication for the paper industry
The paper industry demands Absolute reliability, continuous operation and maximum efficiency. Pulp and paper machines operate in extremely demanding environments: constant humidity, high temperatures, chemical agents, and high mechanical loads. In this context, having industrial systems specifically designed for the paper industry It is not an option, but a strategic necessity.
At RIVI Technical Group we develop comprehensive lubrication and fluid management solutions These solutions guarantee optimal facility performance, drastically reduce breakdowns, and enable safe, efficient, and sustainable production. Our approach combines specialized engineering, in-house manufacturing, and top-tier technical service.
Lubrication systems for the paper industry
Lubrication is a critical factor in any paper mill. Inadequate lubrication causes premature wear, mechanical failures and costly production stoppages. Therefore, industrial lubrication systems must ensure the exact supply of lubricant, at the right point and at the right time.
Centralized and automated systems
Lubrication systems centralized and automated They allow feeding hundreds or thousands of lubrication points from a single unit. This solution eliminates manual lubrication, reduces workplace hazards, and ensures constant lubrication while the machine is running.
Automation provides control, traceability, and efficiency, integrating with plant PLCs or DCS to monitor pressures, flow rates, and lubrication cycles. The result is an immediate reduction in breakdowns, lower lubricant consumption, and a significant increase in productivity.
Single line systems
Single-line systems are ideal when each lubrication point requires a individual and precise dosing. Each injector works independently, supplying the exact amount of lubricant even at high pressures.
They stand out for their simplicity, reliability and ease of expansion, being a widely used solution in winding machines, pulpers and specific areas of the machine where precision is key.
Multi-line systems
The systems multiline They use bombs with multiple direct outputs, connecting each lubrication point independently. This configuration allows for a simple regulation from the pumping unit and ensures a constant supply while the system is in operation.
They are robust, proven systems widely used in applications where a direct and effective solution is required, especially in calenders, presses and auxiliary equipment.
Progressive systems
Progressive systems distribute the sequential lubrication through piston distributors. Each cycle ensures that all points receive lubrication, even under high backpressure conditions.
Its compact, corrosion-resistant design is ready to work up to 350 bar, This makes them a very reliable solution both for both grease and oil. Furthermore, they allow advanced monitoring and operational control, ensuring uninterrupted lubrication.
Double line systems
When working conditions are extreme (humid environments, dirt, temperatures) very high or very low) dual line systems offer the maximum robustness and reliability.
These systems allow feeding a large number of dispersed points, working at pressures of up to 400 bar. Its expandability and the possibility of smart versions (Smart double line) makes them especially suitable for large paper machines.
Spraying systems
Spray lubrication is essential in open gears and critical applications where insufficient lubrication would have serious consequences. Using specific nozzles and compressed air, the lubricant is applied evenly to the surfaces.
A properly designed system ensures effective lubrication, minimizing consumption and preventing contamination, which is fundamental in paper production environments.
RIVI guarantees in its spray lubrication systems grease monitoring of proper functioning right at the spray nozzle.
Circulation systems
Oil circulation systems allow lubricate and cool simultaneously. The oil circulates continuously, returns to the tank, is filtered and cooled, preventing contaminants and prolonging the lifespan of bearings and critical components.
These facilities are custom-designed, with large-capacity tanks, advanced filtration systems, and complete instrumentation for monitoring pressure, temperature and flow rate.
Other solutions for the pulp and paper sector
In addition to lubrication, the paper industry requires auxiliary systems fluid control and management that guarantee stability, security and operational efficiency.
