Voith Launches a New Baselayer Pro Roll Cover Concept for Press Section Roll Covers
- Latest addition to the proven Solar and Aqua portfolio for suction press roll and press roll covers
- New BaseLayer Pro technology for enhanced safety and performance
- High-performance polyurethane roll cover for stable, efficient dewatering, higher production output and improved paper quality
With the launch of the BaseLayer Pro concept, Voith expands its proven portfolio of polyurethane roll covers for the press section. The enhanced design of BaseLayer Pro provides customers with additional operational security while maintaining the excellent dewatering and runnability performance for which Voith polyurethane roll covers are well known. The result is a roll cover solution that combines proven performance with a higher level of durability and safety – even in the most demanding papermaking applications.
The new generation of roll covers with BaseLayer Pro includes:
- AquaPress Pro
- AquaFlow Pro
- SolarFlow Pro
Increasing demand for high-performance press covers
In the press section, roll covers must withstand high nip loads, abrasive contaminants and continuous mechanical stress during the dewatering process. BaseLayer Pro roll covers are designed to withstand higher mechanical stress for a longer, high-performance service life.
Applying advanced technology for a longer service life
BaseLayer Pro incorporates an advanced base layer design that helps reduce shear stresses in the event of mechanical impacts and minimises peak stress levels within the cover structure. By distributing forces more effectively, the technology significantly increases the robustness of the roll cover and contributes to a longer service life.
With BaseLayer Pro, Voith reaffirms its commitment to delivering innovative and high-performance solutions that help paper producers maximise productivity, safety and operational efficiency.
New addition to Voith portfolio for extreme press section conditions
While the functional layer of SolarFlow Pro, AquaFlow Pro and AquaPress Pro offer the same outstanding chemical and wear resistance as the standard Solar and Aqua roll cover, the new Base-Layer Pro concept is engineered for a longer service life under high loads, high speeds and extreme conditions.
Voith specialists work together with papermakers to determine which surface design is most suitable for the operating conditions and production goals of each mill and production setup. With their customised surface designs, Solar and Aqua products enable efficient dewatering at maximum machine speeds. As a result, they support papermakers who want to increase production output and improve paper quality.
BaseLayer Pro represents the next step in the evolution of our press section roll covers. By further improving the mechanical integrity of the cover structure, we are helping our customers increase equipment reliability, reduce risk, and achieve stable performance throughout the cover lifecycle.
