The new ProServices from Voith, BTG and Toscotec
With our ProServices, we offer a modular Yankee service portfolio with eight different services for tissue manufacturing to increase production efficiency.
On-Site Yankee Services – Where safety and productivity matter
Maintenance and service are the keys to efficient paper production. From grinding and coating to mechanical service and diagnostics, Voith offers a reliable and fast cylinder inspection service. Thanks to our extensive know-how and years of experience, our solutions are setting standards in the tissue industry.
FilmLube – Integrated Uhle box lubrication
Uniform conditioning of press felts is crucial for paper quality and machine runability, especially on high-speed tissue machines that operate above 1,500 m/min. In conventional systems, the Uhle boxes are lubricated by low pressure fan showers, which often get blocked and cause localized felt abrasion and a drop in felt performance. Thanks to a novel design, Voith’s FilmLube ensures uniform lubrication at all times.
EcoChange T – Minimized core waste and highest turn-up efficiency
The tambour changing system EcoChange T ensures the highest changing reliability with minimum broke quantities at the reel core at maximum operational safety. In this way, the overall efficiency of the change process is increased significantly. The open design provides optimum accessibility for setting, cleaning and maintenance.
CleanLine Excell – Consistent and uniform cleaning
For highly effective surface and structure cleaning of forming and press fabrics, CleanLine Excell is a superior alternative to oscillating high pressure needle jet showers and standard traversing showers. The system uses less water (and energy) than high pressure showers, significantly reduces chemical cleaning and is even suitable for fine fabric surfaces.
TerraDry HC+ – High performance coating
Offering higher productivity and less downtime, the repellent and resistant TerraDry HC+ is a high-performance coating for Yankee cylinders specially designed for protection against excessive corrosion and wear.
QualiFlex CrestT & CrownT press sleeves – Ultimate dewatering
With CrestT and CrownT, Voith offers two superior press sleeves for tissue shoe press applications. They enable stable machine operating conditions and increase efficiency. Selected polyurethane materials ensure the highest possible abrasion resistance even under challenging temperature conditions. Both the open area and void volume can be designed exactly to your needs.
ProTect – Safe felt measurement system for the press section
ProTect is an inexpensive and nonetheless extremely safe solution for exact and repeatable measurements of the various press fabric parameters. It replaces the manual measurement work performed by the service personnel with a mechanical system. Its self-propelled carriage transports any variety of measuring device along a traversal beam, which keeps the operator out of danger outside the fabric run. The system can be used at various points in the press section. For maximum flexibility, the easy-to-operate ProTect accommodates a wide range of measurement equipment to suit individual requirements.
Forming and press fabrics – Higher runabilty and paper quality
Forming and press fabrics significantly impact the productivity and overall quality in tissue manufacturing as well as throughout the entire paper production process. To meet specific customer requirements, our unique portfolio contains a wide range of forming fabric and press designs – suitable for all tissue paper machine configurations.
Our experienced engineers will support you in selecting the best fabric design to meet your tissue production’s individual requirements.
