How to Choose Air Compressor for Paper Making Industry
The paper industry does not emphasize the cleanliness of compressed air, mainly used as a power source, and the production density is strong, so the main requirements are often energy-saving and efficient, stable and reliable system operation, and long maintenance cycle. Therefore, in view of the strict requirements of papermaking product quality grade, EternelComp has launched a screw compressor suitable for the papermaking industry.
The new energy-saving configuration saves electricity 35% or so. The air end adopts large diameter low rotor and shaft stiffness is small, which improves the life of bearings and other parts; the high efficiency quiet air cooling fan has great air volume, super quiet; low consumption and noise, low power consumption. Product features: intelligent control system can automatically adjust according to customer usage; high oil pressure forced lubrication ensures that there is enough oil quantity and mixing ratio at low inlet pressure.
Choose high-efficiency, large-displacement air end. Reliable, durable, cost-effective. Large rotor, low speed, low noise, small vibration, low energy consumption. The high-efficiency heavy-duty inlet air filter ensures the quality of the compressor intake air, ensures the safety of the main engine, and greatly improves the service life of the equipment. The whole machine adopts permanent magnet synchronous motor, standard motor base, and the vibration is smaller. The motor current is greatly reduced and the motor temperature is stably controlled. The new energy-saving machine saves about 40% of electricity compared to ordinary screw machines.

Customer Cases in Paper Making Industry
Jiangsu XYZ Paper Company is committed to extending its scope of operations as well as verticalizing its business model to encompass pulping and recycling of wastepaper over the last few years. Their paper machines require constant 24-hour operation, with this demanding high stability and energy efficiency from their air compressors. Previously they had been utilizing screw type compressors from a certain brand, with costly running expenses and maintenance costs. To stay competitive in the industry, they decided to start with energy saving efforts on big power consumers like air compressors, in order to increase performance across the board.
Based on their actual conditions and gas needs, EternelComp compressor provided an application solution for their HB Series Variable Frequency Screw Air Compressor that covered analyses from compressor power efficiency ratio to system pressure setting, post-processing equipment, pipeline designs and more, meeting customer’s production optimization requirement. Mr Xiao mentioned during their follow up visits of our customers that EternelComp Compressor runs reliably and stably; has moderate maintenance costs; provides quick and timely service – all resulting in considerable gains for the company. The intelligent adjustment system of the Variable Frequency Screw Air Compressor can save up to 40% of electricity while guaranteeing required airflow amounts.

FAQ
Why does the paper making industry prefer oil‑free compressed air over standard lubricated compressors?
The paper making industry prefers oil‑free compressed air because even trace amounts of oil can cause defects such as pinholes, poor ink adhesion, or reduced absorbency in tissue and packaging grades. The paper making industry also requires oil‑free air for products that come into contact with food (e.g., paper plates, pizza boxes) to comply with FDA and EU food contact regulations.
What is the typical pressure and flow requirement for a mid‑sized paper mill in the paper making industry?
In the paper making industry, a typical mid‑sized mill producing 200–400 tonnes per day requires compressed air at 85–115 psi (6–8 bar) with a flow of 3,000–10,000 CFM. However, the paper making industry often has separate low‑pressure (30–50 psi) systems for felt cleaning and high‑pressure (120–150 psi) systems for precision air knives. A network of multiple compressors with a central controller is standard.
How does the paper making industry maintain air quality during high humidity conditions in a paper mill?
The paper making industry faces extreme humidity (often 80–90% RH near the wet end) which can cause condensation in compressed air lines. To maintain air quality, the paper making industry installs refrigerated or desiccant dryers downstream of compressors, along with moisture separators and automatic drains. Some mills use high‑temperature air dryers rated for inlet temperatures up to 55°C to handle the harsh environment.
What energy savings can the paper making industry achieve by using VSD air compressors?
The paper making industry typically reduces compressed air energy consumption by 25–35% when switching from fixed‑speed to VSD compressors, because paper mill air demand fluctuates significantly between grade changes, reel turns, and maintenance shutdowns. The paper making industry also recovers up to 80% of waste heat from VSD oil‑cooled compressors to pre‑heat water for the pulping process, further improving overall plant efficiency.
