CarboTec Fiber Reinforced Rolls Create Solutions


Voith Paper Rolls has expanded production for its CarboTec carbon fiber reinforced rolls in Wimpassing, Austria. The first flow process from 1995 was supplemented by a new production line.

CarboTec carbon fiber reinforced rolls solve arising problems, such as roll vibrations that are generated at high paper machine speed. Thus paper production can be increased and paper quality improved. In addition carbon fiber is a very light-weight material, enabling smaller rolls to be assembled by hand.

Every CarboTec roll is individually adapted to the needs of the papermaker. The knowledge about the paper making process, the skills regarding the light weight construction and the well engineered surface technologies allow for tailor-made remedies for each customer. CarboTec gives papermakers not only a spare part, but a solution that contributes directly to bottom line profit.

The CarboTec production line includes the complete fabrication of the carbon fiber roll from the development, raw material configuration and various surface technologies to the finished roll. Therefore a constant quality and permanent development of the technologie can be guaranteed.

The proximity of the CarboTec line to the research and development center for roll covers in Wimpassing is also very relevant, allowing rolls and roll covers to be perfectly and individually adjusted to each other.

Voith Paper is a division of Voith and one of the leading partners to the paper industry. Through steady innovations, Voith Paper optimizes the paper production process. More than a third of worldwide paper production is produced on Voith Paper machines.

Voith sets standards in the paper, energy, mobility and service markets. Founded on January 1, 1867, it has a current workforce of approx. 34,000, sales of EUR 3.7 billion and over 250 locations worldwide, and is one of the largest family-owned enterprises in Europe. Voith is the official partner to the initiative "Germany - The Land of Ideas".
