Hydraulics—often considered a challenge in the paper industry—poses significant operational and maintenance difficulties.
Similar to other industries, plant personnel often struggle with maintaining hydraulic systems, leading to frequent reliance on expensive foreign consultants or specialized hires. These high-cost solutions, however, do not always deliver the expected results, leaving plants vulnerable to inefficiencies and breakdowns.
In industries like steel and power, this situation persisted until the late 2000s, when hydraulic components such as cylinders, power packs, and auxiliary systems were predominantly imported from Europe at exorbitant costs. However, this scenario has changed.
INDPAC, is committed to providing world-class hydraulic solutions across industries, and they are now set to make a substantial impact in the Paper & Pulp sector. Just as they successfully localized critical hydraulic applications in Steel and Power—including EAF, VD, IF, LRF, CCM, BC, BF, BOF, HSM, CRM, RHMS— they are now bringing our expertise to paper manufacturing.
Indpac officials said Paperdesk “It is Tailored Hydraulic Solutions for the Paper Industry, and we introduce a comprehensive range of hydraulic components specifically designed for:
- Calendar Section
- Reel Section
- Sizing & Coating Section
- Press Machines
- Paper & Pulp Handling Equipment
Our custom-designed hydraulic cylinders, lifting jacks, and power packs are engineered to meet the unique requirements of paper mills. Given the demanding operating conditions—especially in starch- and dye-intensive areas—our designs emphasize durability, efficiency, and precision. Our in-house design team, led by Mr. P. Chakraborty, ensures the highest standards of performance, backed by over 42 years of experience in the field.
OEM Partnerships & Customization
Our hydraulic cylinders are available in two formats:
- Factory-Fitted OEM Solutions: These cylinders are pre-installed in machines from leading global manufacturers like M/S BELLMER GmbH, Germany, demonstrating our commitment to quality.
- Custom Retrofitting Solutions: For plants with non-OEM machinery, we offer inch-perfect, tailor-made hydraulic solutions designed to outperform existing systems without requiring major modifications.
Precision Engineering & Quality Assurance
Our manufacturing process begins with the careful selection of prime-quality special-grade steel, sourced through rigorous quality assurance protocols from Euro/CN routes. These materials undergo stringent non-destructive testing (NDT) and ultrasonic testing (UT) before machining in our semi-automated precision setup.
Every component is meticulously inspected against manufacturing drawings under our “No Deviation Strictly” policy, ensuring unparalleled accuracy. Final assembly—a critical phase—demands expertise, as it transforms raw materials into fully functional hydraulic systems.
High-quality European seals, selected based on specific application needs, enhance durability and performance. These advanced seals are far more complex than conventional rubber alternatives, ensuring superior resistance to wear and contamination.
Addressing Common Industry Challenges
Corrosion and system synchronization are persistent issues in the paper industry. Our hydraulic cylinders are specially designed to combat corrosion, extending service life and reducing maintenance downtime. Our synchronization systems prevent felt damage and production delays, ensuring smooth operations.
Hydraulic Power Pack Units (HPP-U) – Built for Reliability
Our hydraulic power packs are engineered in two configurations:
- Section-Specific HPP-U: Dedicated units for individual sections of the paper mill.
- Integrated HPP-U: A single mega-unit capable of simultaneously operating the entire production process.
Designed with user-friendliness in mind, these power packs support seamless operation with minimal maintenance. Equipped with top-tier components from leading brands.
Each unit is meticulously assembled with carefully selected elements, optimizing system layout for operational efficiency and easy maintenance. Our manifold units, manufactured in-house, ensure compact, efficient hydraulic systems with minimal leakage risks.
Before dispatch, every HPP-U undergoes real-time testing for:
- Filtration effectiveness
- Overheating resistance
- Pump durability
- Vibration control
- System malfunctions
Specialized piping enhances corrosion resistance, ensuring longevity even in harsh industrial environments. We are revolutionizing hydraulics in the Paper & Pulp industry, delivering cost-effective, high-performance solutions that eliminate the need for costly imports. By combining precision engineering, rigorous quality control, and customized design, we empower paper mills with reliable, efficient, and durable hydraulic systems.
