The pulp and paper industry comprises companies that use wood as raw material and produce pulp, paper, paperboard, and other cellulose-based products.

Paper manufacturing is among the world's most energy-intensive industries engaging a workforce of 13 lakhs.

The Indian Paper industry produces 10.11 million tonnes of paper per annum. This is possible with the existence of 55 paper mills with an installed capacity of 260 lakh tonnes.

The turnover of the industry is likely to touch Rs. 60,000 crores mark by 2025.

The per capita consumption of paper in India is still at 5.5 kg.

Why Predictive Maintenance is necessary for Paper Industries?

  • Vibration in calendar machines is difficult to analyze with traditional vibration measurements.
  • Calendar rolls running for too long causes calendar barring which increases vibrations throughout the stack affecting caliper variation causing a quality loss
  • The bearings of the suction roll used in extractors if unmonitored, can lead to downtime which can cost as much as $10,000 per hour and stretch into days.
  • The extraction of moisture from the wood (raw material) is generally done within 24 hours, else the wood pulp converts in to waste. This accounts for a direct loss.
