XcelLine Paper Machines

XcelLine. Xcellent Performance.

With XcelLine paper machines, Voith offers efficient paper production of every paper grade on a new level. All single components, technologies and services are perfectly coordinated and integrated. Their interplay leads to excellent performance over the entire lifecycle of the paper machine. Perfect design, coordination and reliability of all secondary systems are also part of Voith’s scope of supply.

There is another important factor with complex systems – professional project execution. All components have to intertwine like the cogwheels in a gear mechanism. With the Process Line Package (PLP), we have perfected a low risk, cost-effective method for quickly implementing complex projects. By assuming overall responsibility, organizational effort for the customer is minimized and the costs of the total project become transparent.

By linking and networking the products and processes, we make paper production even more profitable and pave the way to the papermaking of the future. Our primary focus here is always on our customers and their needs. Every Voith customer gets exactly the paper machine according to his requirements.

Cartonboard

From packaging to advertising medium

As the base material for a range of high-quality packaging options, cartonboard is omnipresent. It plays an especially large role as packaging in the modern world. Beverages, shoes, toys and cosmetics – they are all packed in various grades of cartonboard, and they all have different requirements for the raw material.

As a leading supplier to the paper industry, our cartonboard machines offer excellent formation, maximum dry contents, optimum web guiding and superlative runability.

Containerboard

Great packaging that conserves resources

In an era of growing e-commerce, packaging solutions made from containerboard are becoming increasingly important. Together with cartonboard, containerboard constitutes the largest portion of packaging material, even more than glass, metal or plastic. It is multi-purpose, clean and flexible.

As a full-line supplier for containerboard machines, we provide efficient yet resource-conserving solutions, such as production based on 100 percent recovered paper.

Specialty papers

Special technologies for special papers

Besides well-known grades like newsprint, paper machines also produce paper for tea bags, bank notes, wallpaper and décor coverings for furniture. As the demand rises for alternatives to the mostly plastic-based packaging used for food and confectionery, new types of flexible packaging papers that are recyclable and have barrier properties – such as aroma- and grease-proofing – have been developed.

It takes a very special kind of expertise to manufacture specialty papers. This is why for each specialty paper, our production technologies are tailored to the specific application.

Graphic paper

All information has its value – and its paper

For centuries, the great merit of graphic paper as a carrier of information has been as a storage medium for knowledge. All information is valuable, no doubt, but the paper on which it is printed can sometimes vary greatly.

Voith's high-speed machines make it a global leader, especially in the area of newsprint and magazine paper.
