Drying, fibre handling and converting create different protection challenges across pulp, paper and tissue production. Dust, dry fibre and heat can come together around machinery and extraction systems, while a local incident can disrupt an interconnected production line.
Pulp production · Paper mills · Converting
Typical processes
- Dryers & presses
- Mills & filters
- Paper converting
Protection priorities
Review heat sources, combustible deposits and the links between machinery, extraction and material transport.
Protection review
What we assess.
Drying & heat sources
Review drying conditions and locations where heat can meet combustible fibre deposits.
Converting equipment
Assess machinery and local fire scenarios across the converting operation.
Fibre & dust extraction
Review the extraction branches and collection equipment connected to production machinery.
