Industrial Technical FAQ – Used Paper Machinery & Complete Lines
This section addresses advanced technical questions raised by plant managers, maintenance engineers, technical buyers, and industrial decision-makers regarding used paper machines, dismantling, refurbishment and export logistics.
Technical Evaluation & Inspection
What mechanical wear points must be checked in a used paper machine?
Critical wear points include bearings, roll journals, gearbox backlash, foundation bolts, alignment of sections, dryer cylinder surface condition, suction elements, and frame fatigue. A structured inspection reduces refurbishment risk and unexpected downtime after reinstallation.
How can alignment and foundation integrity be evaluated before dismantling?
Laser alignment tools, vibration analysis data (if available), foundation crack inspection, and anchoring bolt condition should be reviewed. Misalignment or structural stress may increase reinstallation costs.
How do you estimate refurbishment cost before purchase?
Refurbishment cost depends on mechanical wear, electrical obsolescence, control system compatibility, and availability of spare parts. An experienced technical review allows preliminary budgeting before dismantling.
Dismantling & Transport Engineering
What are the main technical risks during dismantling of a wide paper machine?
Risks include structural distortion, improper lifting points, damage to precision rolls, incomplete documentation of cable routing, and component loss. Proper supervision and tagging procedures are essential.
How is heavy equipment prepared for international shipping?
Preparation may include corrosion protection, shrink wrapping, custom steel frame supports, container optimization, and load securing calculations according to transport regulations.
How do you estimate transport complexity?
Transport complexity depends on component dimensions, weight distribution, special lifting requirements, road permits, and port access. Each case requires technical coordination.
Electrical & Automation Considerations
How do you evaluate electrical compatibility with modern plants?
Evaluation includes PLC model status, drive systems, motor insulation class, panel condition, and whether retrofitting or control migration is required.
Can legacy control systems be upgraded?
Yes, depending on system architecture. In some cases, PLC replacement and drive retrofitting allow integration into modern production environments.
Operational & Strategic Questions
Is purchasing a used paper line economically viable?
In many cases, properly evaluated used machinery can reduce capital expenditure significantly compared to new equipment, provided inspection and dismantling are handled professionally.
Do you support complete paper mill line projects?
Yes. Depending on availability, we support single machines or complete lines including dismantling coordination and export planning.
