EdgeSaver Evo
Save costs and increase edge stability
The unique EdgeSaver Evo edge trimming concept makes it possible to separate the web edge already in the exiting headbox jet. This not only saves valuable raw materials such as virgin fibers, but also reduces the energy requirements of your paper production.
Discover the blade of our EdgeSaver Evo:
With conventional systems, edge trimming on multi-ply machines takes place only after couching, so that the resulting mixed trim residues can only be returned to the circuit of lower quality.
In contrast, the innovative design of the EdgeSaver Evo blade, provides a simple and energy-efficient solution to adjust the web edge directly in the headbox jet. Fibers in excess of the required web width are not lost in the couch pit, as they are discharged before the suspension hits the wire. The discharged stock suspension can thus be returned directly to the primary fiber stock circuit in a single-sort process.
Thanks to the specially manufactured side shield, with adjustable „S“-shaped offset, the EdgeSaver Evo enables edge waves to be minimized, thus improving edge stability. The teflon seal on the underside of the side shield provides an optimal seal to the forming fabric.
Changing the wire is also no hurdle: The clever swiveling device enables convenient replacement of the forming fabric without having to restore the optimized settings on the EdgeSaver Evo afterwards.

This means, we not only produce more sustainably, but also more cost-efficiently. In addition, we are convinced by the EdgeSaver's ease of use as well as its reliable operation throughout.
EdgeMaster
Edge control for optimal paper web edge
EdgeMaster is a variably adjustable extension of the headbox format plate. In the Fourdrinier wire and the hybrid former, it provides for uniform distribution of the stock suspension up to the edge.
By setting the position of the EdgeMaster in machine direction, it can be optimally adapted to the shape of the flow. Positioning screws allow precise lifting, lowering and pivoting. Water flushing prevents the suspension from flowing under the edge control device. In addition, spray water nozzles continuously moisten the surfaces in contact with the stock, enabling trouble-free production.
The EdgeMaster is retrofitted with an adapter plate extension to the existing headbox or by supplying a new format plate.
EdgeMaster is used at headboxes for Fourdrinier wire and hybrid former paper machines. These devices are frequently combined with wire edge lifters (EdgeCurlers).
EdgeDeckle-S Evo
Next generation of Edge Components
The EdgeDeckle-S Evo is a new design of edge guiding system for the Fourdrinier wire section.
Unlike than common edge deckles with EdgeDeckle-S Evo it is possible to influence actively the flow condition at the web edges by the adjustable side shield geometry.
That makes the EdgeDeckle-S Evo to a tool for the papermaker to eliminate the edge wave effect in the papermaking process.
Adjustment and optimization can be done without tools, even during production. There is no need for time consuming readjustments during grade change.
For large slice openings an extension of the edge deckle plate is used.
The side shield extension is designed according to production data of the PM.
For easy service purposes or during wire change, the EdgeDeckle-S Evo can be swiveled into the maintenance position and fixed.
Disassembly of the equipment for wire change is not necessary. There is no need for sensitive sealing gap adjustment after wire change.
Self adjusting sealing strip
The innovative sealing concept needs no intervention or adjustment during PM operation. This guarantees easy handling during production and maintenance.
