Screen plates and drums require BÖHLER steels with high wear and corrosion resistance. Key quality features include ultra-clean materials, full traceability, controlled heat treatment, and optimized surface quality for reliable pulp and paper processing.
Screen plates and drums used in the pulp and paper industry are critical components subjected to continuous operation under demanding conditions, including abrasive fibers, chemical exposure, and dynamic mechanical loads. These parts must ensure efficient separation, filtration, and material flow while maintaining precise geometries and surface integrity. Material requirements therefore focus on high wear resistance, corrosion resistance, fatigue strength, and dimensional stability under wet and chemically aggressive environments. Resistance to clogging and surface degradation is also essential to maintain process efficiency and product quality.
BÖHLER high-performance steels and alloys are specifically engineered to meet these challenging requirements. Advanced stainless steels, including austenitic and duplex grades, as well as highly wear-resistant tool steels, provide an optimized combination of corrosion resistance, strength, and durability. Produced using advanced melting and refining technologies, BÖHLER materials ensure exceptional cleanliness, low inclusion content, and homogeneous microstructures, supporting extended service life and stable performance. Key quality features include strict control of chemical composition, certified traceability, and precisely controlled heat treatment processes. Surface integrity and finishing are optimized to ensure smooth flow and reduced fouling. Comprehensive testing, including wear and corrosion resistance as well as non-destructive inspection, ensures consistent quality. BÖHLER materials enable efficient, durable, and high-performance screen plates and drums.
A101 is an austenitic stainless Cr-Ni-Mo-steel with sulfur addition for improved machinability, ideal for the production of drilled and milled screenplates and –drums for the pulp and paper industry.
