      FilmLube – Integrated Uhle box lubrication

      Uniform conditioning of press felts is crucial for paper quality and machine runability, especially on high-speed tissue machines that operate above 1,500 m/min. In conventional systems, the Uhle boxes are lubricated by low pressure fan showers, which often get blocked and cause localized felt abrasion and a drop in felt performance. Thanks to a novel design, Voith’s FilmLube ensures uniform lubrication at all times.

            Washing / Thickening / Dewatering

            The purpose of washing is to remove undesirable particles smaller than 30 µm from the fiber suspension through a separation process according to the filtration principle. Thickening is important for increasing the stock consistency as required for further processing, minimizing storage volumes and for water loop separation. With the dewatering process, the stock consistency is increased from about 5 to 30% or more to prepare for the next process stage and for complete water loop separation.
