Paperboard Mills

Paperboard mills keep pulp moving through stock prep, sheet forming, drying, winding, and converting lines that make containerboard, corrugating medium, linerboard, folding carton stock, and tube stock. Production operators, millwrights, electricians, maintenance planners, and quality technicians work around rollers, pumps, valves, motors, steam, water, and tight uptime targets. They handle new runs, routine maintenance, grade changes, and repairs while keeping board strength, caliper, and cut quality on spec. Zoro has served U.S. businesses since 2011 and stocks 14+ million products used in mill maintenance and daily operations. Buyers often need replacement bearings, power transmission parts, lubricants, hydraulic and pneumatic fittings, hose, hand tools, fasteners, abrasives, electrical supplies, sensors, motors, filters, drums, and material handling gear. For mills that also convert the board they make, teams may also reach for knives, blades, packaging supplies, and shop floor PPE. Paperboard production also calls for attention to OSHA requirements around lockout/tagout, machine guarding, hearing protection, and slip hazards in wet process areas. Zoro fits that workflow with the maintenance, safety, and operating supplies mill teams need to keep lines running and planned work on schedule.
