Extend service life of machine clothing

• The more machine clothing is needed, the more material consumption and the higher the costs.
• The downtime costs for replacing machine clothing are often higher than the material costs themselves.
• Each machine covering usually requires a certain start-up time. The less often this is necessary, the better for the overall machine efficiency.

With our know-how, products and solutions, we can help you to extend the service life of your machine clothing as follows - and all while maintaining or even improving product quality:

• Maximizing the running time of the machine clothing without impairing machine operation or product quality.
• Reduction in downtimes for replacing machine clothing and therefore an increase in overall availability.

All projects presented…

• ... show that it is possible to save resources while reducing production cost.
• ... achieved consistent or even improved product quality.
• ... have a return on investment of a few months only taking into account the overall added value achieved.
• ... have been implemented many times - no prototypes or trial installations.

TARGETS ACHIEVED

• Increased service life of felt from 4 to 5 weeks.
• Approx. 12 felts less needed per year (3x4 felt runs).
• Less consumable material - does not have to be produced/transported/disposed.
• Same or even improved product quality.
• Return on investment within a few months.

TARGETS ACHIEVED

• Reduction of the total vacuum requirement.
• Increase in felt life by 25% from 40 to 50 days.
• This saves 2 felts per year.
• Less consumable material - does not have to be produced/transported/disposed.
• More production due to less downtime.
• Same or even improved product quality.
• Return on investment within a few months.
