<\/a>Save-alls with integrated doctoring <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well-designed and built save-alls with integrated doctoring are essential to get the full benefits from increased dewatering and ensure efficient water discharge with perfect rewet prevention. Correctly designed save-alls are capable of handling 100% nip dewatering without rewetting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Runtech<\/strong> save-alls are specially designed for AirBlades and EcoFlow dewatering measurement systems. They deliver reliable operation in all press and wire section positions and press section rebuild packages. The delivery to Smurfit Kappa Hoya PM2<\/strong> included several doctors and save-alls for the press section and a complete EcoFlow dewatering measurement system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Hoya PM2 runs up to 1100 m\/min with 90 g\/m2 basis weight. Width at the press is approx. 8 meters. The mill reported that after the rebuild they have been able to increase the machine speed by 100 m\/min with 90 g\/m2 basis weight. Dryness increase after press section is from 51% to 53,5% and from 54% to 56% with the basis weights of 90 and 220 g\/m2, respectively. Increased dryness means less picking on the dryers enabling better machine runnability and less sheet breaks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Doctoring – the key to a wellperforming press section<\/p>\n\n\n\n A well-designed doctoring system is the key to a well-performing and energy-efficient press section. Optimized doctoring leads to increased dryness after the press section. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Savings in dryer section steam usage are notable. Runtech\u2019s offering includes CompoAdapt, a hose loaded blade holder providing easy maintenance and trouble-free operation and CompoDoc carbon fiber doctor beams with excellent doctoring performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Double doctors provide optimal doctoring for suction couch and press rolls. AirBlades are air assisted doctor blades for the press rolls that enable high nip dewatering even with low machine speeds, help with roll cleanliness problems, improve moisture profiles and have a positive effect on machine speed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n At Papelera de la Alquer\u00eda<\/strong>, a shoe press RSP AirBlade was installed as a part of the vacuum system rebuild project. The shoe press in question is the last nip before the dryer section where Uhle boxes were used before but there was no doctor. Runtech delivery included a new backing bar inside the shoe press roll, a doctor with the hose loaded CompoAdapt blade holder and a RSP AirBlade. After the AirBlade installation, the mill is able to run without Uhle boxes. <\/p>\n\n\n 7% reduction in steam consumption and 11% increase in the average machine speed have been reported. Another example of a press section doctoring rebuild is a delivery to a kraftliner machine (90-400 g\/m2), which targeted to energy and steam saving. Project included a new doctoring system for the press suction roll, the 1st press bottom roll, the 3rd press top roll and the 2nd pick up roll. Magnetic flowmeters were replaced by complete press section EcoFlow system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Before the rebuild, a total of 10 liquid ring pumps and 8 Uhle boxes were used. Due to the improved doctoring the machine is now able to run with full nip dewatering. Thus, only 2 Uhle boxes are in use, which means stopped pumps, less load for drives and less felt wear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There is no need to wash the felts during the entire felt life time resulting in less shutdowns and chemicals. The paper machine total steam consumption is significantly lower than before. Now the paper machine operates 5-6 liquid ring pumps depending on the basis weight and speed. 10 GWh annual energy saving and production increase have guaranteed a short payback time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Steady, reliable and more economical ride<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prior to the save-all and doctoring project the production manager of a European fluting & testliner machine explained the reasoning for the rebuild being similar to purchasing a cruise control for the car: \u201cYou won\u2019t drive faster, but your ride is more steady, reliable and ultimately more economical\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The mill gained an average speed increase +10 m\/min right from the beginning and additional +10 m\/min later on. Speed increased for all grades and also top speed increased. One of the liquid ring pumps was switched off right from the beginning and another later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This was not originally planned but as it became possible, mill saves additional 100k\u20ac annually. In addition, the operation is back to normal faster after felt change, e.g. bottom felt on target in 24h as it previously took 3 days and there is no or less felt washing needed. Delivery included a Save-All with top Catch Pan and two integrated blades for press suction roll, Double Doctor for 1st press bottom roll, splash wall after 1st press bottom roll and a full EcoFlow system for wire and press sections. The main benefit for the mill is a much more controlled (more precise and faster) operation concerning dewatering and process stability. <\/p>\n\n\n EcoFlow gives a good process transparency and allows setting the key parameters for the operators in a new and better way. Trouble operation, like problems with sheet edges, are avoided or solved much quicker than before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Optimize vacuum levels <\/p>\n\n\n\n Combining dewatering improvement with vacuum system rebuild can bring the biggest benefits, especially if the mill is still using conventional vacuum pumps. At Vege PM1<\/strong> fine paper machine in Turkey, Runtech upgraded the vacuum system with a single-stage EP500 Turbo Blower, EcoDrop water separator and EcoFlow Multi dewatering measurement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Delivery included also Combi press save-all with RSE AirBlade and 3rd press bottom roll doctor with RSP AirBlade. Improvement of the press section dewatering and optimizing the vacuum levels with EcoFlow made it possible for the mill to run only with one EP500 Turbo Blower. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Seven liquid ring pumps were stopped, providing energy savings of 700kW and water savings of 60,000 m3 per year. Specific energy consumption decreased from 93 kWh\/t to 21 kWh\/t. Even with maximum nip dewatering there is minimum rewetting. Specific steam consumption was reduced by 10% and there are less sheet breaks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Perfect fit for all needs<\/p>\n\n\n\n With the experience of thousands of vacuum system audits and dewatering studies at paper mills, Runtech is able to benchmark the effectiveness of existing vacuum systems, dewatering equipment, suction elements, fabrics and felts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n All information comes together in an often step-by-step rebuild or upgrade plan that results in minimized operational expenses coupled with a production increase and\/or runnability improvements. Runtech\u2019s combined expertise of doctors, save-alls and vacuum system equipment enables them to provide a holistic view for improved paper machine dewatering and energy efficiency. With its solution portfolio, the company can always find a perfect fit for their customers\u2019 demands, needs and budget.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dewatering and doctoring are not only related to energy consumption, but also play a big role in paper machine runnability, efficiency and profitability, as well as paper profiles.
