Customers worldwide rely on Voith's modular Papermaking 4.0 portfolio to individually optimize their production with the leading digital industrial applications. Based on extensive expertise, Voith is introducing OnEfficiency.BreakProtect, OnView.VirtualSensorBuilder and OnView.MassBalance, three new apps on the IIoT platform OnCumulus.

With OnCare.Health Vorecon, Voith presents a new data diagnostics system that goes one step further than conventional machine protection systems do. It learns, monitors, and performs diagnostics in real time. By means of typical signal patterns, the system first learns the reference state of the machine. Then it continuously monitors, records, analyzes, and evaluates the relevant signals.

Voith supplied Republic Paperboard with a DF Coat curtain coater system, a stock preparation upgrade, new dryer cans, new reel and a new coater kitchen as part of a rebuild.

The data and inventory management of products and consumables involves a considerable amount of administrative work.

Guide rolls are used throughout the paper machine and must therefore meet a wide variety of requirements.

Voith extends its comprehensive range of torque limiting couplings by introducing SafeSet EZi, thus meeting the growing demand for maximum performance and highest safety in industrial environments.

At the beginning of January, the PM 7 of Grupo Gondi, one of Mexico's largest paper manufactures, was successfully commissioned at the new Papel y Empaques mill in Monterrey. The paper machine is set to produce 400,000 tons of high-performance light weight recycled containerboard annually with Voith's leading technology.

On January 8, 2021, the Voith supplied specialty paper machine PM 40 was successfully started up at Sun Paper’s Yanzhou site in Shandong Province, China. The new capacity will further enrich Sun Paper’s product portfolio, and help in strengthening Sun Paper’s leading position with a diversified paper business. The first roll has achieved the market standard with stable quality.

PAPRESA, a leading producer of newsprint in Southern Europe, selected Voith to deliver a complete stock preparation system for its mill in Rentería, Spain.
