We are the exclusive distributor in North America of the PCA Dryer Passivation System. PCA or Polyclean Applicator System is a unique and patented technology from Germany that uses a wick to evenly apply a passivation agent to the dryer roll surface eliminating sprays and traversing mechanisms. The PCA greatly reduces stickies buildup and dust on dryer cans, as well as passivating the felt for a cleaner and more efficient dryer section.
Finally, our Consumables Optimization Management Program can package any or all of these products and services into a quantifiable annual return on your investment based on a combination of documented TCO “total cost of ownership” reductions and volume discounts.
Our real value often comes in the energy we help you save, the sheet properties we improve, the maintenance costs we reduce, or the accident we prevent. Our dedicated professionals are paper industry specialists with the expertise and experience to make a difference at your mill.
