PULP MILLS & FOREST PRODUCT INDUSTRIES

MARTIN® helps mills get more output, with fewer headaches.

The efficient conversion of wood into products from paper to engineered wood panels requires the handling of large quantities of material, both valuable chips and waste bark.

Typically, the chips go into production; the bark goes to the boiler. But regardless of destination, the material must be handled cleanly and efficiently, or a mill can quickly bury itself in fugitive material.

Conveyor components like MARTIN® GUARDASEAL™ Belt Support Cradles and MARTIN® APRON SEAL™ Skirting control spillage of valuable chips and stringy, clingy bark, to boost conveyor efficiency while improving plant safety by reducing fire hazards.

Effective belt cleaners like the MARTIN® QC™ #1 Pre-Cleaner and MARTIN® SC16 Secondary Cleaner remove sticky fines from chip and bark belts.

The MARTIN® WASHBOX™ MODULAR Belt Cleaning System and MARTIN® Brush Cleaner clean carryback from high-incline conveyors with cleats, ribs, or chevrons.

Flow aids like BIG BLASTER® Air Cannons and MARTIN® Electric Vibrators improve the flow of chips, bark, and hog fuel from storage vessels and through chutes and feeders.

MartinPLUS^® Process Improvement Services can assess a plant’s material handling system, and prescribe the systems and services to reduce fugitive material and improve availability.

From the woodyard to the plant, MARTIN® helps forest industry plants and pulp mills handle material cleanly, safely, and productively.
