Your paper quality starts

with screening efficiency
ScreenFit
Papermaking – and screening –
get more demanding!

Screening requirements have changed tremendously over the last

years. Inferior raw material properties for pulp and paper as well as
increasing papermaking manufacturing costs, like energy, have led
to higher demands for energy-efficient products and to further
process optimizations. Therefore, all manufacturers had to increase
their effectiveness in order to compete and be sustainable in the
globalized pulp and paper industry environment.

With this booklet, we provide you with practical material to make

your screening process more effective and your screening section
fit for Papermaking 4.0.

baskets
A Voith screen basket offers precise,
reliable technology for centrifugal and
centripetal pressure screens for Voith
and non-Voith machines. All kinds of
stock, in the most varied stock
preparation, broke screening and pulp
screening applications, can be reliably
screened, even with high stock
consistencies and trash loads.

C-bar screen baskets are unique. Their overlapping bar design

protects the slots from high wear and keeps the slot widths
constant over their whole lifetime.

The Voith NDura hole screen basket

Hole screen basket
offers precise and reliable technology
for centrifugal pressure screens. Due to
an optimized pitch design, we can
achieve high open screen areas with a
high throughput rate.

Further advances in our manufacturing

techniques target a high precision in dif-
ferent hole designs and roundness of
the screen basket.

All kinds of stock, in the most varied stock

preparation, wet end process, broke

with high stock consistencies. It can be
used for Voith screens and for all ma-
chines and associated rotor combinations
of other manufacturers.
