This was the challenge we took on for a major player in the paper industry. The project: the complete replacement of a wood chip conveying duct.
The initial situation: the original stainless-steel duct was suffering from premature wear caused by the constant, abrasive flow of wood chips. The result: frequent maintenance interventions and costly production line downtime.
The PRODUR solution: rather than simply replacing the component with an identical one, our teams proposed a significant technical upgrade:
🔹 Cost-effective refurbishment with Durplast S: an easy-to-apply solution that eliminates the need to manufacture the entire component from scratch. The customer sends us the worn equipment, and the material is applied directly by spraying, significantly reducing costs and turnaround time.
🔹 Custom design: precision engineering to adapt the duct geometry to the existing installation constraints while ensuring optimised material flow.
🔹 Comprehensive approach: a complete service, from technical assessment through to the supply of ready-to-install equipment.
The final objective? Twice the service life compared with the standard solution, helping the customer improve production reliability while significantly reducing operational maintenance costs.
