How Can Thermal Spray Benefit Paper Manufacturing Industry?

Hayden Corp

Thermal spray technology has numerous benefits to offer the paper manufacturing industry. The thermal spray process can be used to increase surface hardness, improve wear and abrasion resistance, reduce coating costs, and increase product performance. Thermal spraying of metallic coatings provides a cost-effective solution for extending the lifecycle of capital intensive papermaking machinery parts without sacrificing quality. The thermal spray process can also be used to reduce maintenance and repair costs, protect against corrosion, and provide protection from extreme temperatures. Thermal spraying also offers improved traction of web-handling components, reducing overall downtime for machine maintenance. In addition to these benefits, thermal sprayed coatings are environmentally friendly, energy-efficient, and long-lasting.


Thermal spraying of coatings is an ideal solution for the paper manufacturing industry, providing cost savings and increased product performance. With thermal spray technology, manufacturers can improve operational efficiency, reduce downtime, and increase the life of their machinery parts. The most common coatings include traction coatings, traction control coating including HC series, and Anti-skid and release coatings. 


What are traction coatings?

Thermal Spray Traction Coatings by Hayden Corp


Traction coatings are designed to reduce slippage and improve the coefficient of friction on papermaking machinery surfaces. These coatings also act as a hardcoat and provide protection from wear and tear. Common applications include rollers, pulleys, chutes, decks, deck plates, and more.


What are Anti-skid and release coatings? 


Anti-skid coatings are designed to reduce sliding on wet and contaminated surfaces such as those found no papermaking machinery surfaces. These coatings also help improve the wear characteristics of surfaces, reduce build-up and clean easily. Common applications include machine frames, catwalks, and outdoor structures..


Thermal spray coatings are a cost-effective and efficient solution for improving the performance of papermaking machinery in the paper manufacturing industry.


Thermal spray coatings are an excellent solution for improving the performance of components in the paper manufacturing industry. This technology offers numerous benefits including increased surface hardness, improved wear and abrasion resistance, reduced maintenance costs, and improved product performance. Thermal-sprayed coatings can also help reduce repair costs, protect against corrosion, and provide protection from extreme temperatures. By using thermal spray technology to extend the life of papermaking machinery components without sacrificing quality, manufacturers can benefit from lower operational costs and improved efficiency.


Manufacturers and Mills in the paper and film industry turn to Hayden for wear and corrosion solutions, friction control, and added longevity of component performance.
