Paper

Product of the month May - OnV EnergyProfiler

Keep an eye on your energy costs

Successful energy management is a continuing process and requires a number of small optimization steps. Voith energy reports feature speed, transparency and availability. OnV EnergyProfiler locates and visualizes energy consumption and, unlike other available standard products, takes into account the relevant data and setting parameter for paper production. more...

"OnV EnergyProfiler is a valuable tool particularly in the search for inconspicuous 'energy leaks'. Smart settings in the hood ventilation technology enable us to save more than 20.000 € electricity annually."

More effective dryer fabrics thanks to SynStron

A new class of polyester monofilaments

 

Heat and moisture – both are a challenge for polyester yarns of fabrics used in the dryer section.

Thus Voith developed the SynStron yarn, a polyester monofilament (PET) that ensures a longer service life of the dryer fabrics. This is achieved through higher strength and hydrolysis resistance.
