REDUCE STEAM CONSUMPTION

STEAM ACCOUNTS FOR A HUGE PORTION OF TOTAL PRODUCTION COSTS.

With targeted measures, we reduce the steam consumption of your paper machine, allowing you to significantly lower your overall production costs.

At the same time, you achieve the same or an even improved paper quality and a return on investment starting from just a few months.

WHY SHOULD YOU THINK ABOUT IT?

Steam costs represent a significant portion of your production costs.

  • The biggest driver: steam consumption for drying paper.
  • Further driver: The preparation of mass starch.
  • Outdated steam application technologies often work inefficiently and consume far too much steam.

HOW CAN WE SUPPORT YOU IN THIS?

While maintaining or even improving paper quality:

  • Optimization of mechanical dewatering
    To increase dry content.
  • Optimization of sheet formation 
    For an efficient thermal drying.
  • Patented starch cooking solution
    To reduce steam consumption in starch preparation.
  • Steam application technologies
    Optimization of existing or installation of new solutions.
  • …

SUCCESS STORIES

A SMALL SELECTION OF PROJECTS WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY REALIZED.

Discover how we reduce steam consumption of paper machines through targeted measures, based on our successfully implemented projects. Our case studies clearly demonstrate how you can significantly reduce your costs while maintaining or improving paper quality and achieving a return on investment starting in just a few months.
