VIB SteamTechSC

Press Section Steamshower

VIB SteamTechSC has two zones in the machine direction to make the profiler more efficient. The profiling zone is fully compartmentalized, supplying high-velocity steam to each cross-direction compartment via a separate, uniquely designed actuation valve that allows optimum zone definition and precise control. The constant full-width zone has higher steam velocity to ensure greater steam condensation on the paper web.

Primary material for VIB SteamTechSC is 1.4571 (316 Ti) stainless steel. Special 1.4539 (904 L) grade stainless steel is used to prevent wear from high corrosion at the diffuser plate, edge-heating zones and in pneumatic control lines. An optional Teflon coating is also available for the diffuser plate and edge heating zones.

Control Station ECS is a VIB SteamTech electronic control station that governs the pneumatic actuators. Each actuator is controlled by an I/P-converter with a control signal of 0.8 - 4 bar (12 - 60 psi). Setpoints are sent from the VIB Control StationIPS using measurement system data.

Control Station IPS is an integrated process station that serves as the central process point for the system. It contains the integrated MD/CD control, the operator visualization package, PLC functions and the intelligence to control the entire actuator control system.
