An innovative example of energy-efficient technology is to be found in the vacuum blowers used in paper production where the plant dehydrates the paper by means of a vacuum. We support our customers throughout the entire conversion process.

Efficient conversion for sustainable paper production

Optimization of paper machines with vacuum blowers

In the face of rising electricity and gas prices and the ambitious goal of reducing CO2, the conversion of existing production plants to save energy is becoming more and more important. Particularly in the energy-intensive paper industry, the demand for resource-conserving and cost-saving systems for the production of paper and cardboard is increasing. One example of an innovative energy-efficient technology is vacuum blowers, which are used in paper production where the system dehydrates the paper using a vacuum.

Compared to the water ring pumps traditionally used, these systems offer numerous advantages: they consume up to 30% less energy and do not require the use of water. The hot exhaust air that is produced during operation can also be efficiently returned to the energy cycle by heat exchangers, which enables total savings of up to 60%. As a result, such conversion measures often pay for themselves in just 2-3 years.

Sustainability and efficiency combined

Modernizing existing systems with new technology not only brings economic benefits, but also significantly improves the CO2 balance. In addition to the process-related advantages,
the electric drive with frequency-controlled energy-efficient motors plays a crucial role for these blowers. However, integrating these advanced components into an existing system always requires adjustments to the existing power and control distributors and systems.
