Reducing CO2 emissions through lower energy consumption in the paper industry
The growing global demand for packaging and tissue papers for hygiene products is fuelling a new growth in the forest-fibre and paper industry.
New opportunities in a changing market
Despite the “paperless” digital age, demand for board, tissue and pulp is on the rise. From recyclable packaging to hygiene products or pulp for clothing, many businesses rely on innovation from the paper industry. Not only must you create new products for new markets, as a business in the paper industry you will also need to find ways to reduce your environmental footprint and increase resource efficiency in a highly energy-intensive production process.
Whilst you are searching for novel wood-fibre materials and applications as well as new uses for wood and its components, you will need to update your technology to keep your business competitive. Innovative technologies from MAN Energy Solutions cut energy and water consumption in paper production lines and help you realise the next level of cost optimisation.Energy-efficient vacuum technology by MAN for perfect paper
Vacuum systems play a key role in the paper manufacturing process. With TURBAIR®, MAN Energy Solutions offers vacuum systems developed specifically for your industry. Our systems for the paper industry dewater the paper sheet and press felts, which are also cleaned. Those felts remove moisture from the paper sheet. Vacuum blowers also shift paper between sections of the paper machine. In addition, they help recover water for reuse in the production process. Our TURBAIR® vacuum technology is designed to complete these tasks in a sustainable, energy-efficient, and flexible manner.
