Our equipment for papermaking
Our portfolio ranges from shut-off and control valves over level and pressure transmitters to sensors for flow and temperature measurement. Thanks to the different variants produced exclusively for Voith, the best possible solution can be selected for each segment in your papermaking process.
OnC BallValves
Compact and sturdy shut-off valves with full opening
The ball valves are available with a diameter of DN 15 to DN 200 and a pressure range from PN 10 to PN 100. The ball valves can be used up to a medium temperature of 100 degrees Celsius.
They have an intermediate flange, internal thread, welding ends, threaded holes and a PTFE seat ring. In addition, the shut-off valves have a full opening and a maintenance-free spindle seal. Simple direct assembly is available for pneumatic drives. Alternatively, activation can be done with a manual lever. A safety function is available for the drive as additional equipment and the Voith VS500 limit switch box for final position monitoring.
The ball valves are used for controlling the flow media.

OnC SegmentValves
Segmented ball valves for consistencies up to 18%
Our segmented ball valves are an optimal solution for the paper industry and can be used with consistencies up to 18%. They can be pneumatically or manually activated with hand gearing/hand lever. The drive itself can be optionally equipped with a security function (spring closes, spring opens). The segment valves are also available as a control valve with VP500 (Voith positioner). The diameters available range from DN 25 to DN 700; the intermediate flange is available from DN 25 up to DN 250. The seat ring of the valves is made of PTFE53, optionally of metal. For high differential pressure, the low-noise version would be the preferred option, which controls the steam and provides for decompression. The V-groove version should be used for minimal flow rates.
Our segment valves are used for application in stock preparation up to the dryer section and are also suitable for high contaminant contents such as reject. A metal seat ring should be used.

OnC AirValves
Withstand the toughest conditions
With our air valves, we supplies different on-off valves with either built-on Namur solenoid valves or solenoid valve blocks. They contain 8 or 16 solenoid valves, which are normally integrated into cabinets. For the tubing between the solenoid valves and the process valve actuators, Voith tube bundles with welding beads protection are recommended as they contain two tubes in one. The Namur interface of the process valves pneumatic actuator eases direct mounting of the solenoid valve onto the actuator. Thus, installation costs are decreased and pneumatic and electric installation simplified. For all rotary actuators the switchbox VS500 is the perfect addition to connect the solenoid coil cable.
