Paper Machine Vacuum Blower Systems

RunEco Paper Machine Vacuum System consists of EP Turbo blower, EcoDrop water separator and EcoFlow dewatering measurement. RunEco vacuum system saves 30-70% of energy and 100% of water for your vacuum system. Efficient exhaust side heat recovery systems can also be included in the RunEco solution resulting in improved overall heat recovery output and energy efficiency. Normal payback time for RunEco rebuild is 1-3 years.

The successful RunEco EP Turbo Blower family has taken another step further with a launch of a new member – the EP650 Turbo Blower. The new RunEco EP650 Turbo Blower features an ABB motor, leading to reduced rotor losses and higher load capacity. A new bearing helps lower the need for maintenance.

Vacuum at a paper machine is used for a variety of reasons, for dewatering the paper sheet but also for holding and controlling the paper route through the press section and conditioning the press felts. Vacuum is also used to hold and control the water jet at a suction roll. 

Vacuum is an expensive tool and often excessively used. With the increasing cost of energy, to stay competitive paper mills are demanding reduced operational costs. Therefore, it makes sense to review air flow demands and, when suitable, apply an old school thinking, i.e. nip-dewatering.
