Here is an excerpt from the webinar:
The SymBelt shoe press has proven itself as a reliable solution in efficient dewatering and increasing production line efficiency in the press section. Valmet’s SymBelt shoe provides significantly improved paper quality comparted to a conventional press, and adds dewatering capacity in the press section with fewer press nips. The resulting high dryness facilitates higher machine speeds, thanks to better runnability.
Timely and properly planned maintenance is essential to get the most out of your SymBelt roll and prevent damage. Regular maintenance intervals every four or five years extend the lifetime of the belt, ensure undisturbed runnability and result in better dryness. This all leads to energy and cost savings for you.
Understanding and implementing shoe press maintenance best practices results in:
Loading cylinders: corrosion
Load joints clamping: corrosion
Seal and hose hardening
Press shoe: scratches, corrosion
