Equipment Repair and Machining for Paper Mills

Continuous process manufacturing facilities cannot afford unexpected machinery failures. A downed processing line costs facilities massive amounts of revenue every hour it sits idle. TCR Inc. provides the heavy machining capabilities and specialized repair services that plant managers need to keep their facilities running at full capacity. We deliver rapid equipment servicing and structural storage solutions tailored specifically for paper production.

Specialized Maintenance for Paper Mill Operations

Through our acquisition of the Nekoosa Corp manufacturing division, we secured the intellectual property and engineering expertise required to service highly complex paper processing machinery. Our team of journeymen machinists understands the extreme tolerances required for continuous web handling. We provide dedicated repair services and manufacture exact-match replacement parts to prevent catastrophic equipment failures.

Heavy Machining and Roll Repair Services

The core of paper processing relies on precision-engineered cylindrical components. When these massive parts experience wear or structural damage, finding a facility with the capacity to repair them is incredibly difficult. We maintain the large-scale equipment necessary to execute the following critical services:

• Dynamic roll balancing and vibration elimination.
• Custom iron and stainless steel castings.
• Precision machining of exact-match OEM replacement parts.
• Specialized surface treatments and flame spray finishes.

Dynamic Roll Balancing

An unbalanced roll causes severe vibration that destroys bearings and ruins product quality. We offer dynamic balancing services for massive rolls to eliminate vibration and restore flawless rotational performance. Our technicians handle components up to 48 inches in diameter with face lengths reaching 400 inches.

Custom Castings and Replacement Parts

Using original engineering blueprints, we cast and machine new iron and stainless steel components. This ensures your replacement parts fit your existing machinery perfectly without requiring costly modifications.

Specialized Surface Treatments

To extend the life of your equipment, we offer advanced surface treatments including flame spray finishes and the proprietary Nekoosa Hard Coat ceramic composite. These protective coatings withstand the extreme friction and heat generated inside paper mills.

Custom Fabrication for Paper Finishing Operations

Our manufacturing capabilities extend far beyond routine maintenance and component repair. We operate full-scale fabrication shops designed to engineer complete structural assemblies for your facility. Our technicians regularly build custom heavy-duty reels and highly specialized roll transfer carts. By manufacturing these large-scale components in-house, we provide plant managers with reliable equipment that improves overall facility safety.

Dexco Racking Systems for Paper Rolls

Paper facilities must safely store raw materials that weigh thousands of pounds. Standard warehouse shelving will instantly buckle under the immense weight of master rolls. To solve this, we are a premier provider of custom-engineered Dexco racking systems. These structural steel racks are designed specifically to cradle massive paper rolls safely. By implementing these high-capacity storage solutions, facility managers can maximize vertical warehouse space while protecting employees from catastrophic racking collapses.

24-Hour Emergency Support to Minimize Downtime

We understand that equipment failures do not conform to a standard business schedule. When a critical structural component fails in the middle of a production run, you need a manufacturing partner who can respond instantly. We provide 24-hour emergency service to evaluate your damaged equipment and begin the heavy machining required to fix it. Our rapid response times ensure your facility gets back online as quickly as possible.
