How KZ Bearings Keep Paper Making Machines Running Smoothly
The Demands of Paper Making Machinery
Paper machines are massive, complex systems that operate continuously and at high speeds. These machines must endure:
- Heavy radial and axial loads
- High temperatures, especially in the drying section
- Constant exposure to water, steam, and chemicals
- Frequent misalignments and vibrations
In such conditions, the choice of bearings becomes crucial—not just for performance, but also for preventing costly downtimes. This is where KZ Bearings excel.
OUR KZ BEARING USED IN PAPER MAKING MACHINE
1. KZ Spherical Roller Bearings
Used in: Press and drying sections
Why: Handle heavy radial loads and misalignment; ideal for high-load, high-temperature environments.
2. KZ Cylindrical Roller Bearings
Used in: Calendar rolls, drying cylinders, and reel sections
Why: High radial load capacity and excellent performance at high speeds.
Used in: Gearboxes and motor-driven applications
Why: Support both axial and radial loads; offer precise shaft alignment.
Used in: Areas with high axial load demands, such as felt rolls and suction rolls
Why: Specially designed to carry axial (thrust) loads in one direction.
Why KZ Bearings Are Ideal for Paper Machines
