Once again, impressive results were achieved during press section optimization - this time at Hamburger Containerboard Gelsenkirchen on PM1.

By combining our pressMASTER and the unique fabriCLEAN, the conventional slotted uhleboxes and HD showers were replaced on all 3 felts (pick-up, shoe press and bottom felt). This resulted in:

• Increase in felt life by 50%.
• Excellent dewatering characteristics of the felt throughout the felt life.
• Water consumption for HD cleaning of felts reduced by 80%.
• Dry content increased by up to 2.5%.
• Energy consumption for steam reduced by 10%.
• Vacuum height of pipe suction cups reduced and pump drive power enormously reduced.Considerable improvements in moisture and dry cross-profile.

"Thanks to the FabriClean, we have been able to increase felt life by 50% and reduce water consumption by 80%. In addition, our felt now delivers consistent dewatering properties throughout its life. We will definitely equip other positions with the FabriClean" - Wolfgang Leitner (Operation Director HRG)

In this course we would like to thank Hamburger for the great cooperation of the whole team & we are looking forward to realize further projects together.
