Home " Lighting for the paper machine
Paper machines operate in demanding environments with high temperatures, extreme humidity and exposure to pulp and dust. These factors can significantly reduce the performance and lifetime of conventional and LED lighting. This leads to reduced visibility, increased maintenance costs and potential safety risks.
JEL Products understands these challenges and offers specialised LED lighting solutions that perform reliably in the most extreme conditions within the paper industry. With a design lifetime of 15 years and robust construction, our fittings are ideal for use in paper machines.
Our fixtures the SN35-35HT 'Snapper' and BA48 'Barracuda' HT, are specially designed to operate in the extreme temperatures and high humidity levels characteristic of paper machines. With a temperature resistance of up to +120ºC, our luminaires continue to perform reliably where conventional lighting fails. This means less downtime and continuous, consistent illumination of your machines and production areas.
Paper production involves significant amounts of pulp, dust and dirt, which can be challenging for lighting. Our luminaires have high IP ratings (IP69K for the 'Barracuda' and IP67 for the 'Snapper' HT), meaning they have excellent protection against penetration of dust and water under high pressure. The robust housing prevents pulp particles from penetrating the luminaire, preserving its performance and lifetime.
With a design life of 15 years (based on a 100,000-hour lifetime with 70% light maintenance), our lighting solutions offer a sustainable investment. This translates into less frequent replacements, lower maintenance costs and minimal downtime of your machines. Consistent light output over the luminaire's lifetime ensures a stable and safe working environment.
Our LED luminaires are highly energy-efficient, with a high lumen per watt efficiency of as much as 200 lm/W. This leads to significant energy savings compared to traditional lighting methods. Lower energy costs directly contribute to reducing your operational expenses and help reduce your carbon footprint.
Good lighting is crucial for workplace safety and efficiency. Our luminaires deliver bright, consistent lighting that helps identify potential hazards and improve accuracy of operations. This is especially important in the paper industry, where machinery can be complex and potentially dangerous.
Thanks to the compact design of the SN35-35HT 'Snapper' and the versatility of the BA48 'Barracuda' HT our luminaires can be easily installed even in tight spaces within paper machines. Our customised driver boxes and cabinets are designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing infrastructure, improving installation conveniences and minimising downtime.
We invite both paper mills and installers to collaborate with JEL Products. Our extensive experience and turnkey solutions make implementation easy and efficient. Whether you work directly with the plant or are responsible for maintenance, we are ready to support you with expertise and high-quality products.
We understand that installing drivers in paper machines can be challenging due to high temperatures and limited space. Therefore, we offer custom-made driver boxes and driver cabinets that safely and reliably power the luminaires. Our driver boxes are designed to operate in the harsh conditions of the paper industry, including high humidity and pulp exposure.

Yes, our luminaires are specifically designed to operate at high temperatures. The SN35-35HT 'Snapper' and BA48-120HT 'Barracuda' are resistant to temperatures up to +120ºC, and the LVHT 'R5' HT to +110ºC.
Our luminaires are designed for easy installation and require no special procedures. We offer support and advice to ensure a smooth installation. If required, we or one of our global partners can carry out the installation for you thanks to our VCA** certification.
Absolutely. We understand the importance of testing products in your specific environment. We offer the opportunity to test our products so that you can evaluate their performance and suitability for your application.
Our luminaires are designed to perform consistently in temperature fluctuations between -45°C and +120ºC. The smart temperature feedback ensures that the luminaire adapts to the ambient temperature without compromising performance. Short overruns of up to +130ºC are accommodated within our extended warranty.
Temperature has a major impact on the lifetime of an LED. Thanks to high-quality materials and advanced cooling technologies, our LEDs have an expected lifetime of 100,000 hours (L70B10), even under constant exposure to extremely high temperatures.
Our luminaires have high IP ratings (IP69K for the SN35-35HT and IP67 for the LVHT 'R5' HT), meaning they have excellent protection against water, dust and pulp particles. This makes them ideal for humid and dirty conditions inside paper machines.
We offer as standard 5-year warranty on all our heat-resistant products, including floodlights and line lights. To maximise the life of your installation, we recommend following the advice of our experts regarding placement and maintenance of both the lamp and driver.
Our luminaires have a design life of 15 years, even under the harsh conditions of paper machines. This results in lower maintenance costs and less downtime.
Yes, we offer comprehensive support and advice to ensure a smooth installation. We can work with your own installers or put you in touch with our certified partners.
