  • Three (3) EP Turbo blowers from RUNTECH replaced all old blowers and water ring vacuum pumps.
  • Project included also new double doctor for suction couch roll, new doctor for 1st press grooved roll and press suction roll save-all modification.
  • EP Turbo compact design minimized civil work, piping and installation time.

Vacuum System Case Studies upm chapelle

RESULTS:

“New vacuum system allows a more reliable and smoother runnability than the old system. Possibility to install it on existing foundation and the flexibility of the Turbos thanks to variable speed allows the system to adapt in lots of situation and a wide functioning area. Energy saving already made is quite significant and future optimization is still planned.

Doctor optimization has been a key to improve press section dewatering and improve dryness after press section for speed development. Being as well a vacuum system expert and a doctoring expert is really a runtech strength. This has allowed to see the project as a whole package and to really optimize the system.”
