Infinity Press Fabric’s Improved Batt Fiber Anchorage Cuts Fiber Loss

Print Print this Article | Send to Colleague


Voith (Germany) Infinity seam and endless press fabrics use a cabled yarn. For the base structure, this means improved batt fiber anchorage, while paper manufacturers benefit from consistent performance over the entire running time. With this latest version of the press fabrics, Voith is enabling a consistently high dewatering performance and universally good paper quality.

With Infinity's modular concept, paper manufacturers can choose between several designs. Infinity can therefore be easily adapted to the special requirements of the respective application. The new press fabric is also available with a seam. The cabled seam has the most efficient twist level in the base fabric with mono loops in the engineered seam area. The seam loops have an identical loop length, roundness, and spacing, which makes installing the fabrics faster and simpler.

Thanks to the cabled yarn, the structure of Infinity seam and endless press fabrics ensures better batt fiber anchorage and allows consistent performance over the entire service life.

When changing over the fabric, the operator can close the seam quickly and easily, which enables machine downtimes to be reduced by up to 25%

Infinity is part of the PressMax range of Voith AdvancedPRODUCTS. Alongside individual products, PressMax offers papermakers the opportunity to enhance the performance of their paper machine through the ideal combination of perfectly matched products.
