Challenges in the Paper Industry
Extreme operating conditions of circulation systems
The paper industry demands lubricants resistant to water, high temperatures, and chemicals. Papermaking machines operate continuously in a humid environment where each failure means production and financial losses.
Five critical issues in paper production:
Water contamination in circulation systems
Water from the production process enters the lubrication systems of papermaking machines. Water-oil emulsions do not lubricate properly, leading to accelerated wear on bearings and gears.
Oil degradation at high temperatures
Drying sections and calendering generate extreme heat that degrades standard oils. Decomposition products form deposits that block filters and oil channels in the circulation systems of papermaking machines.
Rust and corrosion in a humid environment
Continuous contact with steam and process chemicals attacks metal components. Corrosion of bearings and rolls leads to critical component failures in papermaking machines.
Decrease in energy efficiency
Improper oil selection increases friction in gears and bearings. Increased energy consumption and operating temperature reduce the overall plant efficiency.
Frequent maintenance downtime
Short lifespan of cheap oils necessitates frequent changes and cleaning of systems. Every machine downtime results in lost paper production and rising maintenance costs.

Applications:
Check your industry
Our oils for the paper industry work effectively across every type of production.
Newsprint Production
High-speed rotary machines require low-viscosity and excellently stable oils. Mobil DTE series 20 provides protection at high speeds and temperatures, minimizing downtime in continuous production.
Cardboard and Carton Manufacturing
Heavy packaging production machines operate under large loads. ISO VG 220 grade gear oils protect gears from wear, ensuring long life in challenging conditions.
Hygienic Paper Production
Delicate products require a clean production environment. H1 grade food oils used in areas at risk of product contact ensure consumer safety.
High-Quality and Specialty Paper
Precise calendaring and finishing require stable oil parameters. Synthetic oils provide consistent viscosity and excellent protection across a wide temperature range.
Paper Recycling
Aggressive chemicals in the deinking process require resistant oils. Mobil series products provide chemical stability and corrosion protection in an alkaline environment.
Auxiliary and Converting Machinery
Guillotines, rewinders, and packaging machines need universal lubricants. Hydraulic and gear oils serve diverse mechanisms in finishing lines.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Which oil should I choose for the wet section of paper machines?
In the wet section, rapid water separation is key. Circulating oils from the MOBIL SHC PM or DTE PM series contain demulsifiers that ensure effective water-oil separation.
Is synthetic oil better than mineral oil?
Synthetic oils offer longer life, better thermal stability, and potential energy savings. They are often more economical in high-temperature applications despite the higher price.
How often should we check circulating oil condition?
We recommend analyses every 3-6 months depending on working conditions. Monitoring allows the optimization of replacement intervals and prevents failures.
Can the same oil be used for bearings and gears?
Many circulating oils are universal, but always check the manufacturer's requirements.
How to choose the right oil viscosity?
Viscosity depends on operating temperature, speed, and load. Typically ISO VG 150-220 is used for gears and ISO VG 46-100 for bearings.
What to do about filtration problems?
If filters clog quickly, check the oil condition and water content. It may be necessary to clean the system and switch to oil with greater filterability.
