Paper

Scan-Pac products have solved numerous challenging applications in the paper industry from standard paper mill blocks used in the wide variety of winders to the use of Gatke bearings and “eel slip” wiper blades in the chemically aggressive pulp processing areas.

In addition, Scan-Pac’s low wearing RF11 and RF44 materials have proven to be successful on paper mill winding machines that involve constant drag and tension.




RailRoad

Scan-Pac produces materials specifically for the demanding conditions of rail markets, both heavy-duty and commuter. Typical applications include vertical and horizontal center plate liners, equalizer seats, snubbers, and numerous wear plate configurations. Scan-Pac “Gatke” phenolic laminate materials meet the severe requirements of load and impact.




Wind Power

Scan-Pac lo-coefficient materials have proven to be an excellent solution for the Wind mill “Yaw” brake application. The self-lubricating, wear-resistant nature of this specially developed material has improved performance and reduced maintenance downtime. For assistance, call a Scan-Pac friction specialist.

In addition, our RF72 material has proven to be a successful on Wind Mill torque limiter applications. The material offers a high coefficient of friction at .52 and was designed for high energy brake and clutch applications.




Construction

Scan-Pac friction products are utilized in this market on both new equipment and for servicing the large universe of equipment in the field. Scan-Pac has been recognized as a leader in producing parts for the “Crane, Shovel and Dragline” market. A cross reference of Scan-Pac parts by Manufacturer model number has proven to be an invaluable aid in keeping equipment functioning.




Winches

Winches used in the construction, industrial and marine markets are readily serviced by Scan-Pac flexible woven materials (GGW, Gemini woven, 242OR) and have a proven field record in this demanding application. GGW has historically been recognized by the workboat and dock handling industry as an excellent performer in handling harsh environments.

Scan-Pac’s engineering expert is readily available for assistance in recommending the proper material for your specific application.




Metal & Aluminum

Scan-Pac “Gatke” bearing liners are running every day in Steel and Aluminum “Hot-Mill” rolling operations. This high-strength phenolic laminate is produced to the exacting dimensions of the particular rolling mill and functions with the coolant of the rolling operation resulting in a lo-friction and resistant bearing.

Specialty Kevlar type materials have been utilized in bearings for enhanced strength and wear characteristics.
