Two new roll covers, MatchPress for press rolls and MatchFlow for suction press rolls, are additions to Voith‘s product portfolio. MatchPress and MatchFlow are designed for graphic and packaging paper machines with a wire width of up to 6,000 mm and speeds up to 800 m/min. The new covers are specifically designed to meet the demands of these machines and enable the operator to lift production to a new level and thus gain a competitive advantage.

• Tailored to the requirements of small and medium-sized paper machines
• High dewatering performance through customized surface design
• Improved material characteristics for reduced wear

MatchPress and MatchFlow offer markedly improved material characteristics. These enable surface designs that increase dewatering capacity in the press section. Furthermore the material characteristics are key for the high wear resistance of the covers. Constant high grinding intervals can thus be achieved for the operator.

Unique groove dimensions and blind-drilled design in the covers guarantee high dewatering of the paper web. This effect is reinforced thanks to high open area of the new roll covers MatchPress and MatchFlow. This leads to higher production volumes or lower energy consumption. Initial runs in actual operating scenarios demonstrate these characteristics impressively: For example, a Voith customer was able to increase its annual production with MatchPress by 10,000 metric tons, or by nearly 4%.

The Koehler Kehl paper mill has awarded Voith the contract for the rebuild of the PM1. The aim of the rebuild is to improve the profile quality of the specialty papers produced and also increase the energy efficiency of the production line. The modifications will also allow production to be stepped up on the PM1 in the future.

The PM1 has been producing carbonless paper and thermal paper since 1988. The scope of the upgrade includes the installation of a MasterJet Pro F/B headbox and modification conversion of the approach flow system.

The MasterJet Pro F/B will be fitted with ModuleJet dilution water technology to achieve optimum basis weight profiles. It is also equipped with lamella technology for optimum jet quality and an EdgeModule as an effective tool for fast optimization of fiber orientation in the event of grade changes or large differences in grammages.

The proven OnQ Profilmatic CD profile controller, which is already operating on the PM1’s DynaCoat coater, is used to achieve better basis weight profiles and minimal settling times in the case of grade changes.

On the MasterJet Pro F/B, energy is saved for example due to the absence of the return pipe on the cross-flow header of the HC line. This reduces the volume flow to the headbox, so that less pump energy is required.

The rebuild in the approach flow system comprises the supply of an IntegraGuard screen for both main and dilution water line. The IntegraGuard screen is setting benchmarks for minimal pressure pulsations with maximum screening efficiency. This is primarily the result of the proven combination of C-bar screen basket and Multifoil rotor. The conical, eccentric housing ensures that there are no deposits or strings.

Additional energy is saved thanks to the optimized flow concept in IntegraGuard with minimal pressure losses and the switch to a two-stage screening process in the modified approach flow system. Moreover, pulsation measurements in the approach flow system conducted by Voith have shown that in combination with the low-pulsation IntegraGuard screen, there is no need for a pulsation damper in front of the headbox.

The investment in the rebuild of the PM1 therefore helps ensure that the production facility in Kehl for carbonless paper and thermal paper continues to be one of the most modern and economic paper machines of its kind.

Voith has enhanced its CleanWeave product range with the new Magma and Magma^High dryer fabrics. Magma dryer fabrics are made from hydrolysis-resistant PPS which ensures performance in the hottest dryer positions.

• Heat-resistant material for high-temperature ranges
• Clean machine run due to proven weave pattern
• Predictable servicing schedule for cost-efficient operation

Extreme temperatures in some paper machines put dryer fabrics under severe stress and call for special material properties. Hydrolysis-resistant PPS reduces the stress on the fabric, allows service intervals to be properly planned and thus prevents unscheduled machine downtimes. Moreover, both Magma and Magma^High use the weave pattern that has already proven effective in the CleanWeave product range. The weave structure features industry low internal void volume, which significantly reduces dirt within the fabric. Due to its relatively low number of yarn crossover points, this compact weave pattern makes surface cleaning easier and ensures constant air permeability. This guarantees that the fabric maintains its air permeability for optimum drying and web running properties over its entire service life.

The superior reliability of Magma and Magma^High dryer fabrics makes planning easier and ultimately leads to more efficient and economic paper machine operation. As well as the dryer fabrics, Voith offers excellent service support and associated consultancy services.

Voith’s new MultiSeal Plus sealing technology improves processes in the dryer section of paper machines. Thanks to a shorter high-vacuum zone, the fabric deflection is significantly reduced and fabric wear is decreased. In addition, the adjustable SkySeal Plus sealing strips consistently optimize fabric runs and extend maintenance intervals. The entire sealing technology upgrades the web stabilization system ProRelease⁺ and results in better performance and an increase in machine speed.

• Reduced fabric wear thanks to minimized deflection
• Faster production speeds through an optimized vacuum zone
• Greater durability of sealing strips and easier servicing

The MultiSeal Plus is the carrier system for the SkySeal sealing strips. A key innovation is the horizontal adjustability of the new strips, which can be re-adjusted by up to 12 millimeter depending on the amount of wear. As a result, the correct distance between fabric and sealing system is guaranteed at all times. The SkySeal is available in two models with different hardness levels, which makes it easier to accommodate the characteristics and requirements of the respective paper machine. As a result the sealing strips suffer less abrasion.

The MultiSeal Plus carrier systems can be adjusted to provide an optimum seal of the release zones in the ProRelease⁺ sealing systems. Thanks to the new technology, the high-vacuum zone can be shortened overall. This results in an increase in runnability and reduced energy costs. The entire upgrade for ProRelease⁺ should be suitable for all fast-running paper machines.

With Papermaking 4.0, Voith is introducing its networked solutions to increase the efficiency, productivity and quality of the entire paper production process supply chain. In addition, Voith will be showcasing NipcoFlex T, a shoe press developed to reduce energy con-sumption and raw material in tissue production. At Tissue World, which is taking place in New Orleans from March 15 to 17, trade visitors will find Voith at stand E 240.

• Papermaking 4.0 increases productivity and quality
• NipcoFlex T lowers production costs
• Find Voith at exhibition stand E 240

Systems like OnCare and OnEfficiency are solutions that stem from the new Papermaking 4.0 concept. OnCare facilitates the maintenance management of paper machines, from planning, servicing and documenta-tion through cost control to spare parts management. The permanent monitoring of the entire paper machine allows optimization potentials to be identified and preventive maintenance measures to be planned and implemented. Preventive maintenance reduces unscheduled downtimes and the paper machine’s availability will increase. Unlike conventional software solutions, OnCare represents a complete maintenance concept, with the distinctive feature being that data are already embedded in the software system. Likewise, it is possible to integrate OnCare in existing systems.

In addition, Voith also developed OnEfficiency to maximize the paper ma-chine’s potential. OnEfficiency Forming gets right to the process at the heart of papermaking: sheet formation. This is measured and analyzed with a package of sensors so that dewatering, retention and flocculation can be stabilized and at the same time coordinated. As a result of the sta-ble process, raw materials and chemicals can be saved and energy usage reduced. Voith is a specialist in the entire paper manufacturing process and ensures that its customers benefit from a dependable documentation of practical experience in papermaking process management.

The increase in machine efficiency and improvement of paper quality are also at the core of the NipcoFlex T. At various paper mills, the innovative shoe press from Voith has already demonstrated that it can increase productivity and reduce costs. NipcoFlex T offers the benefits of up to 5% higher dry content, representing up to 20% thermal energy savings or up to 20% higher production, while maintaining the same or better paper quality. The production parameters of the press can be monitored online and re-adjusted if necessary.

Alfredo Sarli, Sales Manager at Voith Paper Air Systems, will be providing further insights into the latest work on tissue papers in his presentation “Energy Optimization of the Yankee Dryer Hood” to be held at 9:10 am on March 16, 2016 at the conference running alongside Tissue World.

Los Angeles. “And the Oscar goes to…“ – these magic words will once again make 24 movie stars very happy at the 88^th presentation of the Academy Awards^®. The famous stage at the Dolby Theater^® will also feature a little piece of Voith, when the world’s entertainment industry is looking excitedly at the golden envelopes. Because the paper for the envelopes, which currently contain the presumably 24 best kept secrets of the film industry, originates from a paper machine made by Voith.

Gmund Treasury – this is the name of the award-worthy paper used for the Oscar^® envelopes. Gmund Papier (Gmund Paper) produces the glamorous paper on its paper machine PM 407 from Voith. In 1979, the first high-quality papers made on PM 407 rolled off the production line at the Gmund paper makers. Voith originally built the machine for a Swiss paper manufacturer. After a rebuild, it was brought to Gmund at Lake Tegernsee, where it continues to make its special contribution to the Oscar^® ceremony for the fifth time.

With the EvoStretch spreader roll, Voith has launched a new model at the start of the year that offers significantly longer service intervals than standard spreader rolls. The newly developed EvoStretch high-performance bearings feature one or two ceramic balls as well as the usual steel balls, giving each bearing a special self-repairing effect. The ceramic balls remove contaminants, smooth the contact surfaces and thus have an integrated polishing function. This ’self-healing effect’, proven in close cooperation with a well-known ball bearing manufacturer, clearly slows bearing wear and substantially reduces servicing costs.

The StretchUp Service from Voith is the roll service tailored to spreader rolls. As part of the StretchUp Service, it is now possible to upgrade spreader rolls of all manufacturers to use the EvoStretch bearings. Handling the roll service through Voith’s central service center in Laakirchen, Austria ensures short transport paths and delivery times and thus also saves costs.

Voith has now also successfully developed a further spreader roll component to increase service life: The market leader in high-performance roll covers made from polyurethane now also offers SolarStretch polyurethane sleeves for spreader rolls. SolarStretch features abrasion resistance that is twice as effective as standard rubber sleeves and can also be supplied in a variety of surface designs.

Increased abrasion resistance significantly extends service intervals and thus ensures continuous availability of the spreader rolls.
