The production of paper and corrugated board requires the realization of high efficiency linear systems. The lubrication focuses on a few critical points, and a selection that is incorrect or not fully satisfactory could lead to significant production inefficiencies.
Macon Research, at the specific request of manufacturers, has developed various lubricant solutions with the objective of maximizing returns and increasing maintenance and lubrication cycles through the use of lubricants characterized by high thermo-oxidative stability and low evaporation loss.
The support bearings during the pre-heating and heating phases of the paper and corrugated cardboard production line are unquestionably the most critical zones, and the operating temperature to which the bearings are subjected can reach 180°C during continuous operation.
