Voith Paper: Mayr-Melnhof Hirschwang’s PM 4 produces coated folding box board.

SkyLine Doctor Blades - Double Lifetime


Mayr-Melnhof Hirschwang’s PM 4 produces coated folding box board. Coater blades on PM 4 at Mayr-Melnhof Hirschwang average a lifetime of 9 to 12 hours in the offline-coater of PM 4. Since the installation of SkyMet C1 from Voith Paper Rolls the lifetime has doubled; it is now 18 to 24 hours.

In addition to the prolonged coater blade lifetime, the constant formation of coating film has improved as well. After a blade change the desired coating quality level is reached much faster than before.

SkyMet C1 is a carbon steel blade manufactured in very narrow tolerances. The tolerances applied on SkyLine coater and doctor blades for flatness and straightness set standards.

Doctor blades, coater blades and roll covers from Voith Paper Rolls are developed and optimized with consideration of their interactive behavior. Due to Voith’s profound knowledge of roll rovers, optimized pairings of covers and blades can be offered for every position in the paper machine - independent of supplier.

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