Why Discflo Pumps for Pulp & Paper?

Discflo pumps offer superior abrasion resistance, gas-entrained pumping ability, and non-emulsifying laminar flow. This eliminates the excessive wear, constant clogging, and fiber damage that plague pulp and paper operations. Whether handling abrasive slurries from chemical recovery processes, shear-sensitive coating materials, or high-solids content sludges, our pulp and paper pumps tackle tough challenges with ease.

Discflo disc pumps are distinct from centrifugal and positive displacement pumps, including gear and lobe pumps. Featuring our unique Discpac technology, they harness the principles of boundary layer and viscous drag to deliver a powerful combination of benefits.

Our Pulp & Paper Pump Solutions

Discflo offers a range of specialized disc pumps for challenging applications. From harsh chemicals to high-pressure processing, our pulp and paper pumps outlast and outperform the competition.

Abrasive Slurry Pumps for Paper​

Discflo disc pumps are designed for the most challenging materials in paper production: high-viscosity pulp, abrasive fillers, harsh coatings, and more. Our pulp stock pumps can transfer stock with up to 16% density without fiber damage or pump failure. Our Discpac technology slashes wear, extends equipment life, and keeps production flowing.

Chemical Handling Pumps​

Acidic green liquor? Oxidizing bleaching agents? Discflo disc pumps are up for the challenge. Their high-temperature capabilities make them ideal for all chemical recovery and treatment stages. Non-impingement pumping preserves the integrity of shear-sensitive additives, ensuring consistent quality. 

Water & Wastewater Pumps for Paper​

Enhance performance throughout your entire water circuit. With their open, no-close tolerance design, Discflo pulp and paper pumps handle high-solids fluids and up to 70% entrained air without clogging or cavitation. Whether moving fibrous wastewater or managing clarifier underflow, we keep fluids flowing where others fail.
