In pulp and paper mills, machine components are exposed to a combination of high speeds, constant moisture, abrasive fibers and harsh chemicals. Without the right protection, there is an increased risk of deposits, uneven surfaces and costly downtime affecting the entire production chain.
At Lomma Hårdkrom we perform hard chrome plating that can withstand the stresses that come with work in paper and pulp mills. We work with the entire chain for full control of the process and guaranteed results that last.
Equipment in pulp and paper mills operates under harsh conditions of high speeds, moisture, chemicals and mechanical wear. Machine components such as rollers, shafts and cylinders are exposed to constant friction and corrosive environments. Without good hard chrome plating, they are at risk of quickly losing their function and causing breakdowns.
Hard chrome plating provides a hard and durable surface that resists both mechanical wear and chemical stresses. The chromed surface reduces friction, improves fit and allows parts to perform consistently under high loads. The result is longer maintenance intervals and safer production.
At Lomma Hårdkrom, we ensure that each component is processed properly and methodically. Grinding and polishing are integrated into our overall hard chrome plating solution to ensure precise dimensions and a high surface finish. This means that the parts are not only durable, but also achieve the precision required for consistent paper production.
By extending the lifetime of new and refurbished parts, we help pulp and paper mills avoid unnecessary downtime and high costs. With our experience in heavy industrial parts and large rolls, we are a reliable partner that contributes to safe and efficient operations.
Trust us with your paper and pulp mill parts. We offer complete solutions with hard chrome plating from start to finish. We also carry out repairs and renovations for the best possible results.

Good to know about hard chrome plating
Our hard chrome plating provides a very dense and chemically resistant surface that protects the base material against corrosive environments. The chrome layer is inherently inert to most acids and alkaline liquids encountered during bleaching and cooking processes in paper mills, which prevents the chemicals from corroding rollers and cylinders.
With a surface hardness that withstands heavy mechanical wear, hard chrome plating the abrasive wood fibers from wearing down or creating marks on the surface of the rollers. This ensures that the machine components maintain their precise geometry and function during continuous and intensive operation.
Because grinding and polishing are integrated into our comprehensive solution, we achieve a very high-quality and uniform surface finish. The extremely smooth surface reduces friction and makes it difficult for fibers, resin, and chemicals to adhere. This eliminates the risk of uneven deposits that could otherwise damage the paper web.
We handle the entire renovation process. The roller is electrolytically strippedfrom chrome and then ground or welded all deep-seated damage and etching marks We then rebuild the surface with hard chrome plating, and polish and finish polishing the component to its exact original dimensions.
