Dry Section – Smooth Running in the Hottest zone

In the paper manufacturing process, the dry section is a critical stage where moisture is removed from the paper web through a series of heated cylinders, enabling the final development of paper strength, texture, and dimensional stability. The Paper Machine Dry Section operates under continuous, high-temperature conditions, making it one of the most demanding zones from a lubrication standpoint. Within the Paper industry, consistent performance of the dry section directly influences product quality, machine efficiency, and overall plant productivity.

Given the continuous nature of paper production, even minor inefficiencies in the dry section can result in significant production losses and quality deviations. Therefore, lubrication is a key enabler of both process stability and cost efficiency.

This case study highlights how a technically advanced lubrication solution addresses high-temperature and contamination challenges in the dry section, ensuring reliable operation, improved product quality, and enhanced overall performance in paper manufacturing environments

• Inadequate load carrying capacity leads to bearing failure
• Grease films break down under high pressure
• Oxidizes, hardens or looses consistency at elevated temperature
• Oil bleeding leads to premature bearing failure

• Excellent high-temperature stability (no hardening or deposits)
• High oxidation resistance for long grease life
• Strong resistance to water, steam, and humidity
• Maintains stable lubricating film under heat and speed
• Low oil separation and good sealing compatibility
