Papervision – new solutions <strong>for</strong> the future<br />

(numerous patents registered)<br />

incorporating Eco Mizer, EcoDirect<br />

disperger and production regulation<br />

system, amount to 10%. This represents<br />

a reduction in demand to a<br />

level of about 350 kWh/t. Further innovative<br />

technologies are also available<br />

<strong>for</strong> significant additional savings.<br />

The introduction of shoe presses in<br />

paper machine technology has also<br />

brought significant energy savings.<br />

In fact, much of the energy savings<br />

on Kehl PM 2 compared with PM 1<br />

are attributable to the shoe press nip<br />

in the newer machine.<br />

Meanwhile, <strong>Voith</strong> has made further<br />

energy-saving progress with the<br />

Single NipcoFlex press. Utilizing only<br />

one nip, this press concept requires<br />

about 30% less drive power and vacuum<br />

energy at high dry contents.<br />

Suction roll drive power requirements<br />

can be significantly reduced by<br />

installing SeaLencer sealing strips.<br />

Thanks to the resultant energy savings<br />

with this system, payback times<br />

can be as low as 1-2 years.<br />

Another effective component <strong>for</strong> fast<br />

paper machines is the Pro-Release<br />

stabilizer. This not only stabilizes the<br />

web run in the first dryer group, but<br />

also has an energy-saving mechanical<br />

seal. High machine <strong>efficiency</strong> at<br />

high production speeds also saves<br />

energy by drastically reducing web<br />

break frequency.<br />

For board and packaging paper lines<br />

the BoostDryer has a very favourable<br />

effect on the energy balance. Boost-<br />

Dryer technology combines high drying<br />

per<strong>for</strong>mance with improved paper<br />

quality, <strong>for</strong> example, good strength<br />

properties with less sizing. This saves<br />

energy because less water has to be<br />

evaporated in the afterdryer section.<br />

To summarize: With the ongoing rise<br />

in energy costs, future market success<br />

will belong to those who optimize<br />

their production facilities <strong>for</strong><br />

maximum <strong>efficiency</strong> and minimum<br />

energy consumption. <strong>Voith</strong> is a committed<br />

and competent partner to the<br />

paper industry <strong>for</strong> the comprehensive<br />

optimization of productivity, quality<br />

and stability. While continuously<br />

working to reduce operating and investment<br />

costs through innovative<br />

and trend-setting solutions.<br />
