Add-on product +Up: Unique felt technology to quickly reach full production speed
- Modular treatment for all tissue press fabrics applications
- Significantly faster startup time and increased production output
- Optimized dewatering properties
Smooth performance during startup is crucial for maximum efficiency in tissue production. With the add-on product +Up Voith offers an innovative solution that is specially tailored to meet these production challenges. As part of the Voith’s sries of add-on solutions, the modular treatment complements the manufacturer’s existing press fabrics portfolio for tissue, and thus fits in well with the PressMax AdvancedPRODUCTS.
Faster startup time, stable operating conditions
Due to their unique technology, the felts have a higher saturation capability during startup which ensures optimal dewatering of the paper web. The add-on product +Up makes startup up to 50 percent faster compared to standard press fabrics, without compromising operational stability or long-term performance.
Higher production yield with each Voith felt
By reaching full machine speed significantly faster, the add-on product +Up not only keeps energy consumption to a minimum, but also delivers notably higher production output per felt: Depending on the operating setup, +Up can increase output by an additional 100,000 € worth of saleable product per year. In this way, a quick return on investment can be expected.
“The add-on product +Up has proven itself in several trial runs resulting in immediate repeat orders from international tissue manufacturers,“ says Susanne Klaschka, Global Product Manager Press Section, Voith Paper. “We are proud to provide customers with yet another innovative solution to make tissue production even more efficient, more profitable and more sustainable.”
