Description: Fripa Papierfabrik Albert Friedrich has started up a TT NextPress shoe press supplied by Toscotec at their Miltenberg mill in Germany. The new shoe press has been operating efficiently for a few months and has fully achieved the targets of the rebuild.
Details: Resulting from R&D activities in cooperation with Voith, Toscotec’s new generation design of TT NextPress shoe press delivers superior dewatering performances and energy savings. It ensures a stable after-press dryness rate of more than 45% on a tissue line operating at a speed of 2,100 m/min, thereby guaranteeing a substantial energy consumption reduction, due to the fact that the Yankee and the hoods use significantly less thermal energy to complete the drying process.
TT NextPress offers maximum operational accuracy thanks to multiple independent pressure zones. This design ensures a perfect fit between the shoe and previously existing old technology cast iron Yankee deformation and maximizes the lifetime of the machine’s clothing.
