This result was possible due to the special surface designs of Voith’s Solar covers. A press analysis with unique Voith measurement equipment provided the necessary data. Based on the results, a water balance analysis was carried out and the optimum surface design for this application was calculated. The surface configurations of the Solar polyurethane covers are very flexible and allow an individual adjustment to the customer needs.

“The deployment of SolarFlow and SolarPress is a complete success. The dryness after the press of our PM 3 increased by 1%. We are totally happy. The Voith covers are a worthwhile investment,” confirmed Arno Liendl, Technical Director of Leinfelder, Schwedt.
