PrimePoly
Three formulations to meet your needs

ANDRITZ Paperchine applies the

engineered approach to replacing
blades and covers by exploring
alternative designs and materials to
improve your machine’s performance.

Our PrimePoly offering includes material

options to enhance drainage, reduce
drag, increase fabric life and reduce
costs. Instead of just replacing your
components, we improve them!
PrimePoly Standard

Ultra High Molecular Weight

Polyethylene suitable for all
applications. A virgin material that was
introduced to the paper industry by
JohnsonFoils and has been in use for
over 40 years. Ideal for slower speed
applications without an abrasive furnish.

Benefits:
 Tried & True material
 Good wear resistance
 Moderate density
 Cost effective
PrimePoly Advanced

A poly blend infused with anti-oxidants

make this poly ideal for bleach board and
pulp machine applications. The additives
prevent the poly material from becoming
brittle in a harsh environment thus
extending blade and cover life over
PrimePoly Standard.

Benefits:
 Better wear resistance
 Better than average impact resistance
 Excellent life in harsh environment
 Resists degradation due to chemical attack
PrimePoly Premium

This ceramic filled poly is an advanced

pressed material that provides the
highest wear resistance of any Poly
Alloy. It is ideal for high wear positions
such as high vacuum and Uhle Box
applications. It can be machined to a
fine finish which minimizes drag and
fabric/felt wear.

Benefits:
 Pressed material that improves wear uniformity and resistance
 Best wear resistance
 Best impact resistance
 Lowest drag resistance

EZPump Station

The EZTrim Pump Station is an

integrated pumping system designed
specifically for use with paper machine
Trim Squirt systems.

This system consists of two variable

speed pumps/motors, a storage tank,
filtration system and electrical control
panel with HMI touchscreen.

All components are mounted into one

compact assembly that is complete and
ready for installation.
