Pulp & Paper

Abrasion-Resistant Parts for Pulp and Paper Mills

EMSCO® delivers rugged, corrosion-resistant, abrasion-resistant parts for pulp and paper mills. Our components are suitable for every stage of pulp and paper production, from woodyard operations to screening, washing, bleaching, and finishing. Our engineered alloys offer exceptional resistance to abrasion, chemical attack, and high-moisture processing conditions. We manufacture and rebuild essential components, such as chipper liners, screw press wear segments, pulper plates, screens, rotor and stator wear parts, pump housings, and conveyor system elements. Designed to improve uptime and reduce maintenance costs, EMSCO® solutions help mills operate more efficiently while extending the service life of critical equipment in tough, continuous-duty environments.

Abrasion-Resistant Parts for Pulp and Paper Mills That Outperform Standard Replacements

The components in a pulp and paper mill face a relentless combination of abrasion, chemical exposure, and high-moisture operating conditions. Standard replacement parts wear out quickly in these environments, leading to shorter shutdown intervals and higher maintenance costs over time.

We engineer abrasion-resistant parts for pulp and paper mills using a combination of high-performance alloys, advanced ceramics, and engineered polymers selected specifically for the wear mechanisms at work in your equipment. Our material portfolio includes EMSCO® DuraChrome™, EMSCO® Versalloy™, EMSCO® CeroXide™ composite vacuum-bonded alumina, and TIVAR® 88 polymer, among others. We match each material to the specific application to ensure long-term performance.

Whether the issue is sliding abrasion on conveyor components, impact wear in chipper liners, or chemical attack on pump housings, the right material specification extends service life and keeps your equipment running between planned maintenance windows.

Wear Part Fabrication and Rebuild Services Tailored to Your Operation

When a worn component reaches the end of its usable life, replacement isn't always your only option. Our wear part fabrication service for pulp and paper mills covers new-part manufacturing and full component rebuilds, giving your maintenance team more flexibility in how it manages critical equipment.

We analyze each application to identify the true wear mechanism before recommending a path forward. From there, our team applies computer-controlled water and plasma cutting, CNC and manual machining, and precision welding and fabrication to produce or restore components that meet your exact specifications.

For pulp and paper operations running continuous-duty equipment through aggressive processing conditions, this approach means less time waiting on parts and more confidence that what you install is built for the specific demands of your application. Explore all our services.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can EMSCO® help identify why a part is failing prematurely?

Yes. We offer field application assessment, equipment failure analysis, and root cause analysis as part of our services. Understanding the actual wear mechanism, whether abrasion, impact, corrosion, or a combination, is what drives the right material and design decision for replacement or rebuilt components.

Does EMSCO® work with mills that run older or discontinued equipment?

We offer laser scanning for reverse engineering, enabling us to produce new components from worn originals or physical samples when original drawings or OEM parts are unavailable. This is useful for mills managing aging equipment with limited sourcing options for parts.

Does EMSCO supply parts for rotating equipment in pulp and paper mills?

Yes. Our rotating equipment repair and renewal services include dynamic balancing, which is critical for components like fans, blowers, and pump housings that operate continuously in the high-speed or high-vibration environments common in pulp and paper facilities.
