Pulp conveyors and lines for pulp production in paper and board mills
Tamtron’s pulp bale conveyors are widely used in paper and board mills for their pulping needs. Replacing manual lines with an automated pulp conveyor lines significantly saves personnel costs. The automated dewiring machine also increases occupational safety.
Tamtron supplies robust conveyors for one ton bales. The equipment is designed for continuous, long-lasting operation in the process industry.
Some conveyor lines, supplied by Tamtron, have been in continuous operation over 30 years. Regular maintenance, periodic inspections, and original equipment spare parts ensure efficient and safe production throughout the line’s life.
The bale conveyors are designed for forklift loading or for various automated loading solutions, depending on the customer’s needs. The typical line capacity is 100 – 1000 t/d. The time interval between the loadings of conveyor system can be increased by integrated bale pile destacker.
A pulp bale line can include chain and slat conveyors, crossing stations, de-stacker, and automatic dewiring machine. All equipment can be controlled by local PLC or plant automation system from different suppliers.
Broke conveyor for paper and board machines
The broke conveyors feed paper or board reject into a pulper, from which reject is recycled into production. Broke conveyors are tailor made for installation underneath the paper machine, ensuring the falling reject is transferred to the pulper, and the material is returned to use. This prevents the accumulation of rejects on the machines, which could reduce their drivability.
Using an automatic broke conveyor reduces the need to stop machines by eliminating the need to manually remove the reject from under the machine. This improves work safety and saves valuable production time. At the same time, potential production stoppages and the resulting financial losses are avoided. Automation also significantly improves factories’ overall cleanliness, increasing fire safety. Equipment tailored to the premises and customer needs can be made to operate in a sustainable, energy-efficient, and material-recycling way.
Experts Konrad Vuollo and Pekka Huusko inspect a broke conveyor under construction. The conveyor was delivered to Germany for a project to convert a paper machine into a board machine.
Broke conveyor models
- Continuous high-speed broke conveyors for paper and board machines
- Widths up to 11 m
- Speeds up to 1000 m/min.
- Slow retractable broke conveyors for paper and board machines (widths up to 11 m)
Steel slat conveyors
The steel slat conveyors are robust, sealed conveyors designed for feeding loose or baled reject paper and board. They are also well-suited for dosing and feeding of recycled materials such as paper and board. Slat conveyors can be equipped with weighing system, which enables monitoring of continuous or batch material flow.
Tight conveyor slats fixed on robust conveyor chains enable the trouble-free transfer of baled or loose broke to the pulper. Slat conveyors are constructed so that only one conveyor is needed to handle both horizontal and inclining conveying functions. These conveyors are typically used in applications where rubber belt conveyors cannot function.
Frequently asked questions
What specific conveyor types does Tamtron offer for pulp and paper operations?
Tamtron supplies chain and slat conveyors, crossing stations, bale pile destackers, and automatic dewiring machines.
They also offer continuously operating and back and forward operating conveyors (widths up to 11 meters) to handle rejects beneath paper and board machines.
How does Tamtron’s broke conveyor design reduce downtime and improve safety?
The broke conveyors automate the removal of rejects under the machine, eliminating manual clearing and thus reducing machine stoppages.
This also enhances occupational safety by removing the need for personnel to access hazardous or congested zones under operating machinery.
What guarantees longevity and reliability for Tamtron’s conveyor lines?
Tamtron emphasises robust design for continuous operation — the oldest lines have run for over 30 years.
Regular maintenance, periodic inspections, and the use of original OEM spare parts support long-term reliability.
Can a Tamtron conveyor system be retrofitted into an existing mill during modernisation?
Yes. Tamtron’s conveyors are engineered for integration into modernisation projects—the modularity and flexibility of design permit efficient upgrades and retrofits.
Tamtron also tailors equipment to the building layout and process requirements to ensure optimal fit and performance.
What performance benefits should an operator expect from a Tamtron conveyor solution?
Operators can expect improved occupational safety, fewer production interruptions, and better productivity and capacity.
