Paper Industry

A broad variety of gears are available in the market, which are used in the paper and pulp industry. Some of the special purpose gears which are used in some specific applications of the paper and pulp industry. These applications include Brad Foote Gear Works makes a wide variety of gears for the pulp and paper industries. Applications include: worm gear drive adjusting screws, hypoid gears for the paper machine drives, spiral bevels for pulper drives and high consistency pulper drive gearboxes for paper recycling. Usually, the spiral bevel gears which are used in the paper industry having diameter up to 100" and the outside diameter of the worm gears is up to 140".

Open Gear Drives in Paper mills
This kind of gear drives are used in the paper and pulp industry. These gear drives consist either one gear or a series of gears in themselves.

These gear drives are also used in other industrial purposes intensively.

Other Gears used in Paper/Pulp mills

These gears are applied in different varieties, modules, different number of axles and teeth. These gears are made of either bronze, alluminium, brass, steel, duracon and nylon. The characteristics of these gears are that they are durable and effective power transmitters. These gears reduce the ineffective secondary operations and can carry heavy loads.

Varieties of customized gear transmissions and planetary gear reducers are used in different challenging and demanding applications of paper and pulp mills.
