Fabrication Services for the Pulp & Paper Industry

Responsive Fabrication for Pulp and Paper Producers

At Malco, we deliver precision fabrication for the pulp and paper industry — fast, responsive, and built to spec. From digester shells to structural assemblies, our team supports mill operations with the durability, turnaround speed, and technical accuracy your projects demand.

Our fabrication facility is engineered for complex, large-scale builds with 40 feet under hook and deep inventory of specialty metals. Whether it’s a new install, a replacement part, or a high-temperature component, we build what keeps your plant running.

Pulp and Paper Industry

Fabrication Perfected for Pulp and Paper Mill Conditions

Pulp and paper manufacturing involves some of the most rugged industrial processes. From mechanical pulping to chemical digesting, mills rely on equipment that can withstand intense abrasion, pressure, moisture, and heat. When that equipment fails, productivity stalls.

Fabrication is at the heart of keeping this industry moving. Precision-built components help ensure uptime, efficiency, and safety. That’s why leading mill operators and EPCs turn to Malco for fast-turn, high-integrity solutions.

Refractory Anchors for High-Temperature Mill Components

Pulp and paper operations include zones of intense heat and corrosion — especially in digesters, hoods, and recovery systems. Malco provides refractory anchors designed to hold insulation in place and protect structural integrity under high-stress, high-moisture conditions.

  • Anchor systems built for steam and chemical exposure
  • Custom sizes, alloys, and configurations available
  • Rapid manufacturing to support shutdowns and rebuilds
  • Integration with refractory linings and insulation materials

When uptime matters, Malco delivers anchors that are as durable and responsive as your mill needs.

Equipment We Fabricate for Pulp and Paper

We custom fabricate components for all areas of pulp and paper production:

  • Digesters and bleaching vessels
  • Pressure vessels and steam components
  • Rolls and guides
  • Hood structures and enclosures
  • Stock prep and slurry equipmentExhaust ducting and recovery stacks
  • Structural supports and platforms

Our systems handle builds up to 35’ tall and support turnkey projects from material processing through final assembly.

Materials Tailored for Mill Environments

Our fabrication facility is stocked and ready to process a wide range of metals tailored for mill conditions:

  • Stainless steel (304, 316, 309, and others)
  • Nickel alloys
  • High-chrome steels
  • Carbon steel
  • Specialty abrasion-resistant alloys

Need something unique? We’ll source it fast and fabricate to spec.

Quality, Capacity, and Responsiveness

We operate with the precision your industry expects. Our fabrication workflows are aligned to strict quality standards, including:

  • ASME standards (certification pending)
  • Full weld inspections and documentation
  • Material traceability and spec conformance
  • Dimensional checks and tolerance verification

Every job is handled by trained professionals in a vertically integrated facility built for heavy industrial demand. We invest ahead so you don’t have to — with capacity, inventory, and refined processes that reduce delays.
