Industries We Serve
Pulp &Paper.
Pulp and paper mills run hard — heavy loads, constant moisture, and chemical exposure push motors, bearings, and gearboxes to their limits. REM delivers the durable products and expert repair services to keep your lines moving.
The Challenge
Harsh Conditions. Continuous Demand.
Paper machines and conveyors run without pause. Moisture, chemicals, and heavy mechanical loads accelerate wear on every component. When a motor or gearbox fails, the whole line stops — and lost production in a mill is expensive fast.
Extreme Operating Conditions
Constant moisture, steam, bleaching chemicals, and abrasive stock wear through standard bearings, seals, and motor insulation at an accelerated rate. Components must be specifically rated for pulp and paper service.
High-Load Continuous Duty
Paper machines, refiners, pulpers, and conveyors run 24 hours a day under sustained heavy load. Bearing life is shortened, gearboxes wear faster, and motor rewinds are a regular operating reality — not an exception.
Costly Unplanned Downtime
A failed refiner motor or stock pump can halt an entire paper machine worth tens of thousands of dollars per hour in lost production. Fast repair turnaround and stocked spares aren't optional — they're essential.
