Reduction in Energy Costs by Press Optimization, 2006 Papermaker’s Conference
Pressing performance affects the operating costs and efficiency of a paper machine. In the press section water is removed by the action of mechanical compressive forces in various nips. Water that has not been removed by pressing must be eliminated from the sheet by drying, an energy intensive and expensive process. The careful and correct choice in roll cover materials, hardnesses and surface designs has led to increased post-press dryness and energy savings.
