In addition to these advantages, you also benefit from...

• Uniform pressing
• Higher dryness
• Reduced break frequency
• Wear resistance

• With +Up, your tissue machine starts up an average 50% faster than with standard felts.
• The Efficiency Add-On +Up generates benefits of up to 100,000 €/year in additional production volume.
• It is 100% compatible with all felts in tissue, for example, Infinity, TissueFlex and Evolution.

The +Peak technology is a specially developed elastomer material. Used in press fabric, it reduces the start-up period while maintaining steady-state performance throughout its operational life. This unique Voith product is a perfect solution for increasing dewatering performance in the press section of your paper machine.

A variety of designs is available and customizable for each pressing application. The concept of modularity is crucial for press fabric construction at Voith. Our engineers choose base components from an array of options and tailor batt layers to meet specific customer requirements. Functional characteristics are created with special components like Elastomer, Vector, yarn variations and Spectra, to name a few. The woven layer in the felt can be replaced with special components, giving the fabric new functional features.

Infinity is a new generation of laminated felts that incorporates modularity with a completely new way of manufacturing the base cloth and the seam. Infinity delivers clear advantages to the papermaker that target efficient dewatering, better sheet quality, fast startup, reduced chemical use, safety and energy savings. In short: "fit and forget."

Therefore, Voith has developed a full series of woven and spiral designs to suit all requirements. Optimal material choice and special designs support cleanliness, heat resistance and runability to address our customers’ production goals. To reach better results in drying efficiency, Voith has developed CleanWeave, a new product range of dryer fabrics. CleanWeave dryer fabrics are characterized by strength, durability and hydrolysis resistance throughout the whole fabric life. They are designed to minimize the build-up of contamination within the fabric structure and to manage the extreme conditions found in a dryer section.

To make seaming as easy as possible, Voith now offers a short video explaining how to join a dryer fabric and how to deal with obstacles. It starts with an explanation on how to load and align the fabric correctly. The second part shows the different variants of seam aids Voith provides for customers. At the core of the video is the seaming itself. It includes troubleshooting support for the most common problems encountered when seaming. The last part rounds it up with advice on finishing and housekeeping.

Is the safety of your employees important to you?
Voith has the right measuring device for press fabric measurements under paper machine operation. It is unimaginable what can happen during a felt bursts, while an employee is conducting a press fabric measurement with a handheld device.

• Improved press felt diagnostic capabilities
• Precise fabric parameters measurement
• Independent and self-sufficient
• Installation flexibility

Voith forming fabrics are best in class, and now our customers can profit from a unique new service. With the Q-Fit camera, our service engineers can judge the forming fabric wear during machine run even at very high speeds. Avoiding unnecessary downtime, eliminating surprises and gaining higher efficiency are just a few benefits of this new key development for the paper industry.

Voith operates a strict safety policy to attain a target of zero accidents. Our teams are trained to perform a range of services in a safe working environment. It is with safety in mind that Voith has developed the unique Dryer Fabric Analyzer (DFA), a self-driven device that offers full-width measurements, eliminating any measurement errors. The DFA performs both fabric permeability measurements and surface images without the operator climbing into the dryer section.

The requirements of a broke conveyor are different from those of a dryer fabric. While the ribbed upper surface is specifically developed to provide efficient broke transport, the smooth underside provides highest wear resistance. Result is a longer service life.
