When recycled paper is used, more impurities are created compared with primary fibers. This may cause stronger seal wear. Papierfabrik Adolf Jass solved the problem with Valmet’s non-contacting suction roll axial seals.
Summary
Location | Papierfabrik Adolf Jass in Fulda mill, Germany |
Customer challenge | Maintenance interval of the rolls equipped with axial seal strips was originally between 8 and 9 months at the mill. |
Solution | Valmet has modernized the suction rolls of PM3 and PM4 with Valmet Lock Seal seals. Lock Seal operates mainly without contact or with a very light contact with the inner surface of the roll. Thanks to low friction, the lifetime of the roll is increased significantly. |
