            Well positioned for Varel rebuild

              The Varel paper mill is increasing the web width on the pope roller, making use of Voith’s extensive expertise. The Voith team will increase the widths of the first dryer group, the existing headboxes, the wire and press sections and the Fourdrinier wire. Innovative technologies allow total output to be increased by 15 per cent and energy costs to be reduced.

              .

              Two major rebuilds for Roermond

                Smurfit Kappa Roermond Papier, Netherlands has already relied on Voith's expertise several times. In 2016, Voith replaced the press section, dryer section and size application unit on the PM 1. Following this successful rebuild, Smurfit Kappa again entrusted Voith in 2018 with the rebuild of the entire forming section into an innovative DuoFormer CBh concept and the installation a new MasterJet Pro headbox for PM 1.

                Smurfit Kappa again commissioned Voith in 2018 to rebuild the entire forming section into an innovative DuoFormer CBh concept
                 
                Once again, the decision for Voith proved to be the right one. We had a great ramp-up curve from stock on wire to saleable quality within only one day after the rebuild.

                      DuoShake

                      With its new product DuoShake Digital Generation, Voith is taking the next step on its journey to Papermaking 4.0. A paper mill in the United States that produces recycled linerboard wanted to optimize the sheet strength and basis weight of its product while maximising machine speed.

                      With the application of DuoShake DG, the mill has seen the following improvements:

                      • A boost in machine speed, which means increased production
                      • Enhanced sheet stability
                      • Improved availability and serviceability
                      • Overall better sheet appearance

                      CleanLine Extract4D

                      CleanLine Extract4D

                      A mill in the midwest producing corrugated medium frequently shut down production to clean its dryer fabrics. These dirty fabrics and cleaning shutdowns drastically reduced the monthly output and increased the energy consumption.

                      With CleanLine Extract4D installed, the mill noted these key results: 

                      • Eliminated biweekly manual cleaning
                      • Realized chemical savings
                      • Improved safety

                      Prevo

                      This partial optimization plays a key role in the rebuild for Papierfabrik August Koehler SE.

                      Reliable and short threading processes are achieved with the fully automated PrevoSystem.

                      • Higher runability and productivity
                      • Increased safety for operating personnel
                      • Reduced production loss after a restart of the paper machine
