Arctic Paper Mochenwangen increases smoothness values

Nov 19, 2009. /Lesprom Network/. Arctic Paper Mochenwangen mill in Germany increases smoothness values by using Voith’s NeoSilk in the soft machine calendar of PM2 without destabilizing the roll run, as Papernet reported. “We are absolutely satisfied,” confirmed Kurt Jurczik, Director of Production & Technology at Arctic Paper Mochenwangen. The paper mill produces 110,000 tons per year of book paper, uncoated offset and specialty papers on three paper machines. The NeoSilk line of elastic calendar covers was developed in order to improve the paper quality, increase running times and to ensure the thermal stability and optimal operational reliability. Voith Paper has assembled the most proven composite materials in a cost-efficient line of covers. With its optimized filler systems and resin technologies, NeoSilk offers outstanding wear and abrasion resistance. The running time is thus increased and mechanical defects are reduced. The optimized technology provides for very good marking and barring resistance. For the papermaker, that means increased calendar availability, reliable changing intervals and reduced operating costs.
