Benefits for the Paper Industry

  • Higher output and a flatter moisture profile can be achieved simultaneously.
  • Narrow spacing of the actuator can be adjusted to produce the desired profiling effect.
  • Optional feedback of the actuator position ensures reliable functioning of the VIB SteamTech Actuator.
  • Better edge performance for improved reel building.
  • CD moisture 2-sigma improvement of 50%, profile correction of 3%.
  • Dryness increase of 2 - 3% downstream of the press.
  • 6 - 10% increase in output.
  • Improved runability is achieved with a uniform web tension profile.
  • 1 - 2% increase in efficiency of the total production line with integrated moisture control.

Technical Features

  • Two separate zones in the machine direction.
  • Integrated CD and MD control including PLC functionalities (interlocks, loops).
  • Profiling zone spacing down to 50 mm gives high profiling capability.
  • Rigid construction, 316 Ti stainless steel.
  • LAN or Serial Link protocol for connection to the measurement system. Activated by mouse click.
