Papermaking for Life

Let’s rererererererecycle!

We are continuously working on solutions for closed loops in paper production. Closed loops are an important means on the way to CO2 neutrality. With our solutions, paper manufacturers can establish such economic cycles.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ
 

How does Voith optimize recyclability?

In installations worldwide, the optimized BlueLine stock preparation products are proving their worth. Our products enable minimal fiber loss while maintaining high fiber quality. At the same time, we are continuously developing our products and setting new standards in the industry.

Where can I find more information on BlueLine stock preparation?

More detailed information can be found at the following link.

What does the 4evergreen Alliance stand for?

The 4evergreen Alliance is a sustainability initiative of CEPI, of which we are also a member. In the alliance, more than 60 companies along the entire value chain pursue the common goal of increasing the recycling rate of fiber-based packaging to 90% by 2030. 

Our technologies

Voith has developed effective solutions for using and recycling the valuable starting product of primary fiber even more efficiently. Thus, all paper grades can be produced with an ever-larger portion of recycled fibers, without loss of quality. Our goal is to maximize the rate of recycling through new technologies worldwide. The intelligent combination of recycled and primary fibers will allow the growing demand for paper to be met in a resource-conserving and cost-saving way in the future.

Stock preparation

C-bar baskets

C-bar baskets

C-bar screen baskets offer precise, reliable technology for centrifugal and centripetal pressure screens. All kinds of stock can be reliably screened, even with high stock consistencies and rotor loads.
Success Case (Fiber saving)
IntegraScreen

IntegraScreen

The flow-optimized machine housing results in constant flow and pressure conditions around the screen basket. The thickening of the reject is decreased due to the additional reject dilution as well as the integration of the reject recirculation into the machine. As a result, fiber losses are reduced.
Success Case (Fiber saving)

Paper Machine

OnEfficiency.DIP

OnEfficiency.DIP

OnEfficiency.DIP optimizes an existing DIP line to create constant DIP quality at minimum cost. The existing flotation is supplemented by additional actuators; new sensors are installed to monitor the quality parameters.
The DIP quality fluctuations created by incoming raw materials or production changes are reduced by dynamic adjustment of the losses at the washing/flotation as well as real-time optimization of the bleaching chemicals dosage.
Success Case (Energy saving) Success Case (Fiber saving)
DuoShake DG

DuoShake DG

The DuoShake Digital Generation shaking unit for the breast roll contributes to a more homogeneous distribution of fibers and an increased orientation of the fibers in cross direction.
Success Case (Fiber saving)

Tissue Machine

FilmLube

FilmLube

Thanks to its novel design, FilmLube ensures uniform lubrication at all times. This results in a more uniform moisture cross profile, improved paper quality and lower water consumption.
Success Case (Water saving)
CleanLine Excell

CleanLine Excell

Voith’s CleanLine Excell is an efficient cleaning system for consistent and uniform cleaning of the surface and structure of forming and press fabrics.

Paper is the ideal material on the path to greater sustainability.
With our technologies and solutions, we ensure the most sustainable paper production.

Alone, we cannot make the world a better place.
But in strong industrial alliances, we can.
