Sasaki Award goes to Voith Paper

摘要

A screen that uses less energy than all comparable products on the market has convinced the Technical Association of Pulp & Paper Industries (TAPPI). The Japanese Voith Paper subsidiary Voith IHI Paper Technology won this year's Sasaki Award from the respected trade association for its development of the LP Screen. The new technology, developed for the Japanese market, reduces specific energy consumption at the screening stage to 3-4 kWh per tonne of stock. For comparison, the best competitor product still needs twice as much specific energy.
