Replacing a traditional shoe press with Advantage ViscoNip press

The situation on PM3 after ViscoNip is amazing. I think this step change should have been executed many years earlier as in the past it was much know how and skills were needed to be able to produce good performance and quality with the old shoe press design and geometry compared to the current smarter ViscoNip” S
