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.

Screening

Immediately before the stock suspension enters the headbox, pressure screens are installed both in the main flow and in the ModuleJet dilution stream if provided. Since these screens provide a last barrier before the paper machine to prevent damage by foreign bodies, the connection between screen and headbox must be directly linked and completely closed.
