CLEAN-UP AND MAINTENANCE TIME CUT IN HALF Allied Paper Corporation's conversion to stainless steel pays off in cleanliness, uniform quality, minimum maintenance, reduced costs Allied Paper Corporation operates three pulp-blending and paper mills at Kalamazoo, Michigan, producing a complete line of coated and uncoated book papers, and coated photographic papers. Faced with the common industry problem of high operating and material-costs and the ever-present danger of losing a batch of quality stock due to inclusion of corrosion o r other contaminating matter, Allied inau gurated a conversion program. Older equipment, made from less versatile materials, is systematically being replaced with stainless steel, thus assuring extreme cleanliness, and safeguarding product quality. Although the program of replacing with stainless is only partially completed, Allied is already enjoying a 50% reduction in their weekly clean-up and mainte nance time. The reason? Stainless steel is so easy to clean and keep clean. Usually, a simple flushing with water o r
diluted acid solution brings stainless back to sparkling cleanliness. Another reason is the fact that stainless steel is solid. There's no applied surface to crack, chip, flake or peel. Its smooth, hard, sanitary surface offers little foothold for contaminants. Stainless provides the highest resistance to corrosion of any commercial metal. These are but a few advantages that only stainless steel c a n give y o u . But, d o n ' t f o r g e t i t s " b o n u s benefits": high strength, heat resistance, abrasion resist ance, eye appeal, long life, ease of fabrication, low ultimate cost. Selection of the proper type of stainless steel is ex tremely important. Republic—world's largest producer of alloy and stainless steels—will help you make that selection. O u r field metallurgists are ready to work with you and your equipment-supplier in applying the many a v a i l a b l e R e p u b l i c ENDURO® Stainless Steel analyses to best advantage. There's no obligation.
