Efficient Pumping for Demanding Pulp & Paper Applications
Pumps in pulp and paper manufacturing are essential for moving chemicals, water, slurries, and pulp stock. These processes often involve abrasive, corrosive, or viscous materials, requiring durable equipment and gentle handling to protect product quality and minimise wear. Selecting the right pump ensures reliable operation, reduced downtime, and cost-effective production.
Key Considerations
Choosing the right pump for pulp and paper applications requires balancing durability with process performance. Media can be highly abrasive or corrosive, demanding robust materials and precise flow control. Ease of maintenance, energy efficiency, and handling variations in viscosity or flow rate are also vital for reliable, long-term operation in demanding production environments.
Fluid Characteristics
From thick pulp slurries to water treatment chemicals, every application demands the right pump configuration. We’ll ensure your pump is optimised for viscosity, abrasiveness, and chemical resistance.
Efficiency & Reliability
Efficient, reliable pumps reduce production downtime and lower maintenance costs. We specify pumps designed to meet the demands of continuous operation in harsh pulp and paper processes.
Ease of Maintenance
Pumps should allow quick, straightforward servicing to minimise downtime. Simplified maintenance procedures reduce disruption to production and help control operational costs.
Peristaltic Pumps for Pulp & Paper
Peristaltic pumps are perfectly suited for pulp and paper processes involving abrasive slurries, chemical dosing, and viscous fluids. Their low-shear, gentle pumping action protects product integrity, while the hose design ensures easy maintenance. With minimal wear parts, they deliver reliable performance, reduced downtime, and long-term cost savings in harsh operating conditions.
Ease of Maintenance
With only the hose in contact with the fluid, maintenance is typically limited to hose replacement—quick, simple, and cost-effective.
Material Compatibility
Our pumps can handle acids, alkalis, corrosive slurries, and abrasive materials, with hoses specified to match your chemical and mechanical requirements.
Self-Priming & Dry Running
Peristaltic pumps are self-priming and can safely run dry, making them ideal for frequent starts, stops, and product changeovers with minimal downtime.
Solids Handling
Capable of handling soft and hard solids, peristaltic pumps excel in moving pulp slurries and fibrous materials. Proper specification ensures trouble-free operation.
The Hose is the Heart
The hose creates the pumping action. As global hose suppliers, we ensure the right hose material and construction for your exact application.
Lower Lifetime Costs
While initial costs may be higher, reduced wear parts and straightforward maintenance result in a lower overall lifetime cost for peristaltic pumps.

Air Operated Diaphragm Pumps for Pulp & Paper
Air Operated Diaphragm (AODD) pumps offer reliable handling of slurries, chemicals, and wastewater in pulp and paper production. Their ability to run dry, self-prime, and handle solids makes them ideal for demanding applications. With simple maintenance and durable materials, AODD pumps provide flexible, cost-effective performance across multiple process stages.
Handling Abrasive & Viscous Media
Capable of pumping abrasive slurries and viscous fluids with ease, AODD pumps are suited to many pulp and paper transfer and dosing tasks.
Energy Flexibility
Air Operated Diaphragm Pumps require compressed air, offering installation flexibility where electric supply is limited or unsuitable.
Simple & Cost-Effective Maintenance
Diaphragm pumps are easy to maintain, often requiring just a wet side repair kit to restore optimal performance.
Versatile Installation Options
Enviroflex AODD pumps can be installed in a variety of orientations and locations, including hazardous or confined spaces, thanks to their sealed, air-driven design. This flexibility makes them ideal for complex plant layouts and challenging site conditions.
Self-Priming & Dry Running
Like peristaltic pumps, AODDs are self-priming and can run dry without damage, ideal for variable process demands.
Chemical Compatibility
AODD pumps can be configured with a wide range of materials to safely handle aggressive chemicals used in pulp and paper manufacturing.
