Solutions for the Single-Felted Section

High‑Vacuum Web Stabilization for Superior Dryer Section Runnability

As paper machine speeds increase, dryer section runnability becomes more sensitive than ever. Sheet flutter, unstable release, wrinkles, and web breaks are often rooted in unmanaged airflow and insufficient web support, especially in the first single‑felted dryer groups.

RunPro Easy4 is Runtech’s latest high‑vacuum web stabilization solution, building on the proven EasyOne concept while adding new levels of simplicity, energy efficiency, and ease of maintenance.

For slower machine speeds, Runtech offers EasyGo web stabilizers. An EasyGo stabilizer generates 200–300 Pa of vacuum and is suitable for machine speeds up to 600–800  m/min.

 

 

Runtech RunPro Web Stabilizer

The negative pressure level required on the dryer fabric side of the opening nip is highly dependent on the production speed. The negative pressure must exceed the pressure on the paper run side, thus making the paper web to follow the fabric instead of the smooth cylinder surface.

High-release nozzle technology of the Easy4 stabilizer enables the required under pressure levels without edge or cross direction nozzles. Thus, there is no further need to blow hot supply air to the stabilizer saving a great deal of energy. In addition to the reduced running costs, the development means lower investment costs for any traditional air system equipment or lay-out demands.

Benefits:

  • Draw reduction typically between 15 - 40 %
  • Possibility to reduce furnish quality
  • Possibility to increase steam pressure without losing runnability
  • Reduced porosity due to lower tension between the press and dryer section
  • Increased sheet elongation
  • Reduction in web breaks typically 20 - 60% compared to standard “low vacuum” stabilizers
  • Easy ropeless tail threading and less widening breaks
  • Significant cost savings in consumable costs due to no need for wear parts

  • New RunPro Turbo Compressor minimizes energy consumption and maintenance

Solutions for the Double-Felted Section

Web Stabilizer to support the sheet run and to ventilate the cylinder pocket

Reduced unsupported draw by 25 - 50% between the top and bottom dryers enables trouble free runnability and supported ropeless tail threading.

The stabilizer gives better drying capacity due to reduced pocket humidity levels and wider sheet wrap against the drying cylinders.

RunPro solution-for-double-felted

Significant energy saving is guaranteed with optimized pocket ventilation by decreasing the pocket humidity level, correcting the pocket moisture profiles and eliminating the need for over-drying.

The pocket ventilators are installed near the felt rolls blowing dry supply air in to the pockets.

double felted section

Benefits:

  • Improved sheet runnability and reduced break frequency due to supported sheet run
  • Increased drying capacity due to better evaporation efficiency
  • Improved final sheet moisture profile
  • Shorter tail threading time
  • Lower draws enabling usage of less expensive raw material
  • Increased speed potential
  • Maintenance free construction, no wearing parts
  • No fabric contact or mechanical sealing
  • Increased production capacity due to efficient pocket ventilation
  • Better 2-sigma moisture profile
