STAINLESS STEEL protects quality and purity of Kaolin paper coating clays Demand for paper coating clays from Georgia's famous Kaolin Hills is growing at a rapid rate. Used in formulas for conversion and machine-coated papers, last year's consumption was over 500,000 tons and is expected to reach 1,000,000 tons by I 9 6 0 . Kaolin producers are utilizing the advantages of processing equipment fabricated from Republic ENDURO Stainless Steel, to keep up with demand and to maintain high product quality and purity. A good example of this type of equipment is the coneshaped spray dryer shown at left. A cake clay slurry containing about 40% moisture is pumped into the dryer, where it is flash dried in about a second. The resulting product, ready for bagged or hopper-car shipment, contains less than \% moisture. And, because it is never over-dried or calcined, and comes in contact only with stainless steel, its quality and purity are maintained at the highest level. There is no danger of metallic contamination. ENDURO Stainless Steel is inert to most chemicals and chemical compounds. It does not add unwanted elements to products. It never takes anything away. ENDURO is easy to clean and keep clean because it's solid stainless steel. There's no applied surface to crack, chip, peel or wear away. Its smooth, hard, sanitary surface offers little foothold for contaminants. Strength, heat-resistance and corrosion-resistance are other advantages of ENDURO-made processing equipment like the dryers mentioned above. These units, designed to operate at temperatures from 1000-1150°F, are made in thinner, lighter sections because of ENDURO's extremely high strength-to-weight ratio. They resist scaling at high temperatures. Possess high creep strength. Provide substantial savings in both maintenance and replacement costs. These benefits can be applied to your paper-making equipment. Republic field metallurgists are ready to work with you and your equipment supplier in applying the many available Republic ENDURO Stainless Steel analyses to best advantage. N o obligation.
