Voith realizes ropeless threading for board machines in two-tier dryer sections
- Fully automated, reliable ropeless threading in two-tier dryer sections
- Improved efficiency and safety plus reduced maintenance requirements
- Extensive flexibility thanks to large operating window for basis weights of up to 300 g/m2
Due to the much higher basis weights in the board segment, ropeless threading is particularly challenging from a technical standpoint. The Voith TailStabilizer system enables absolutely reliable, fully automated and safe threading in the two-tier dryer section. A specially developed peel-up component, positioned as close as possible to the roll, ensures maximum peeling effect. The optimized arrangement of multi-row air nozzles and air deflectors lifts the tail from the drying cylinders and quickly fixes it to the TailStabilizer to transport it from there to the next drying cylinder. As a result, the process also minimizes shredding. Because it works contactlessly, unlike other solutions, it also avoids wear and unnecessary maintenance work. This results in reduced maintenance and greater equipment availability.
TailStabilizer is part of the Voith Prevo range of tail threading and cutting systems. The threading solution can be adapted for any application and is easy to install. Thus, the system is especially suitable for rebuilds and optimization of existing threading systems. Thanks to its flexibility, the TailStabilizer technology offers a large operating window with basis weights of up to 300 g/m2.
