Towards Better Understanding of Void Volume in Press Nips Webinar

TAPPI's technical webinar reveals how insufficient void volume in press felts causes up to 6 points of dryness loss, impacting machine efficiency and sheet uniformity. Wet press specialist David Lange demonstrates that traditional felts lack adequate void volume for optimal dewatering, requiring strategic venting in roll covers and shoe press belts. The presentation provides actionable solutions for plant managers and operations professionals, including proper venting pattern selection, felt optimization, and maintenance strategies to prevent plugging. Learn how addressing affective void volume reduces sheet breaks, eliminates moisture variation that causes cockle in dryers, and improves overall papermaking performance through enhanced press section efficiency.
