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 lifespan of conventional and LED lighting. This leads to decreased visibility, increased maintenance costs, and potential safety hazards.
JEL Products understands these challenges and offers specialized LED lighting solutions that perform reliably in the most extreme conditions within the paper industry. With a design life of 15 years Our robustly constructed fixtures are ideal for use in paper machines.
Our fixtures the SN32-35HT ‘Snapper’ en BA48 ‘Barracuda’ HT, are specially designed to function in the extreme temperatures and high humidity levels characteristic of paper machines. With temperature resistance up to +120ºC, our fixtures 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 pose a challenge for lighting. Our fixtures have high IP ratings (IP69K for the ‘Barracuda’ and IP67 for the ‘Snapper’ HT), meaning they are excellently protected against dust and high-pressure water ingress. The robust housing prevents pulp particles from entering the fixture, thereby maintaining performance and longevity.
With a design life of 15 years (Based on a 100,000-hour lifespan with 70% light maintenance) our lighting solutions offer a durable investment. This translates into less frequent replacements, lower maintenance costs, and minimal downtime of your machinery. The consistent light output throughout the fixture's lifespan ensures a stable and safe working environment.
Our LED fixtures 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 a reduction in your operational expenses and help reduce your ecological footprint.
Good lighting is crucial for safety and efficiency on the shop floor. Our fixtures provide bright, consistent lighting that helps identify potential hazards and improve work accuracy. This is especially important in the paper industry, where machinery can be complex and potentially dangerous.
Thanks to the compact design of the SN32-35HT ‘Snapper’ and the versatility of the BA48 ‘Barracuda’ HT Our fixtures can be easily installed, even in tight spaces within paper machines. Our custom-designed driver boxes and enclosures are made to integrate seamlessly with your existing infrastructure, enhancing ease of installation and minimizing downtime.
Our fixtures are built with durable materials such as 316L stainless steel and aluminum with special coatings, making them resistant to corrosion and mechanical impact. This increases the reliability and extends the lifespan of the fixtures, even in the most challenging environments.
By using high-quality components and a thoughtful design, our fixtures require minimal maintenance. This reduces the need for frequent inspections and repairs, allowing your maintenance teams to focus on other critical tasks.
By partnering with JEL Products, you gain access to our technical expertise and customer support. We offer guidance throughout the entire process, from selecting the right fixtures to installation and maintenance support. Our experience in the paper industry allows us to provide valuable advice and tailor-made solutions.
We invite both paper mills and installers to collaborate with JEL Products. Our extensive experience and ready-made solutions make implementation simple and efficient. Whether you work directly with the factory or are responsible for maintenance, we are ready to support you with expertise and high-quality products.
We understand that placing drives in paper machines can be challenging due to high temperatures and limited space. That's why we offer custom driver boxes and driver cabinets which safely and reliably power the fixtures. Our driver boxes are designed to function in the harsh conditions of the paper industry, including high humidity and exposure to pulp.

Yes, our fixtures are specifically designed to function at high temperatures. The SN32-35HT ‘Snapper’, BA48-120HT ‘Barracuda’ and the LVHT Linear withstand temperatures up to +120ºC.
Our fixtures are designed for easy installation and do not require special procedures. We offer support and advice to ensure the installation goes smoothly. If desired, we or one of our global partners can perform the installation for you thanks to our VCA certification.
Absolutely. We understand the importance of testing products in your specific environment. We offer the possibility to test our products so you can evaluate their performance and suitability for your application.
Our fixtures are designed to perform consistently under temperature fluctuations between -45°C to +120°C. Of Smart temperature feedback ensures that the fixture adapts to the ambient temperature without compromising performance. Brief excursions up to +130ºC are accommodated within our extended warranty.
Temperature has a significant impact on LED lifespan. Thanks to high-quality materials and advanced cooling technologies, our LEDs have an expected lifespan of 100,000 hours (L70B10), even under constant exposure to extremely high temperatures.
Our luminaires have high IP ratings (IP69K for the BA48-HT and IP67 for the LVHT and SN32-HT), meaning they are excellently protected against water, dust, and pulp particles. This makes them ideal for the humid and dirty conditions found within paper machines.
We offer standard 5-year warranty on all our heat-resistant products, including floodlights and linear lighting. To maximize the lifespan of your installation, we recommend following the advice of our experts regarding the placement and maintenance of both the lamp and the driver.
Our fixtures have a design lifespan 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 either work with your own installers or connect you with our certified partners.
