Voith Paper: TerraGloss is the new thermal coating for hard calender rolls.

TerraGloss leads to substanial energy savings


TerraGloss is the new thermal coating for hard calender rolls. Numerous field tests have shown that the structure of TerraGloss coatings increases and even doubles operation time, as well as reduces the line load and the heating power. This leads to energy savings up to 30%.

Due to the application of innovative hard material, which is applied by using a continuous HVOF-coating method with very high kinetic energy, TerraGloss is highly resistant to chemical and mechanical effects. Therefore the coating is extremely wear resistant.

Carbon fiber doctor blades can be used on TerraGloss without reducing the cover thickness. Due to this, the roll surface can be kept clean and glossy for extensive periods of time. TerraGloss provides advantages in High-End-Multinip-Calenders, common calenders, the graphic paper business and the board and packaging segment.
