Voith Paper

Encontros que moldam o futuro da indústria. A Voith Paper teve a honra de patrocinar mais uma vez a Fastmarkets Latin America Conference 2026, um dos principais encontros do setor de papel, celulose e embalagens da região. Ao longo do evento, líderes da indústria compartilharam uma visão comum: competitividade, eficiência operacional, digitalização, serviços e sustentabilidade continuarão sendo fatores decisivos para o crescimento dos negócios nos próximos anos. O mercado segue apresentando oportunidades, mas exige cada vez mais soluções capazes de gerar resultados concretos e mensuráveis para os clientes. Além dos valiosos insights de mercado, a conferência proporcionou um ambiente único para fortalecer relacionamentos, trocar experiências e identificar novas oportunidades de colaboração com clientes e parceiros estratégicos. Participar dessas discussões reforça nosso compromisso de atuar como parceira de produtividade e competitividade para a indústria. Parabenizamos a todos que contribuíram para mais uma edição da conferência, de grande relevância para o setor. Antonio Lemos FABIAN KUPFER Rodrigo Martins #FastmarketsLatAm

In today's paper industry, data isn't scarce — but connected, actionable data is. Many mills still run on siloed systems. One machine, one system, one team - each speaking a different data language. The result? Visibility gaps, delayed decisions, and cross-functional friction that slows down the entire operation. That's exactly what we addressed with Hubei Wuzhou. Voith Paper delivers its unified data platform dataPARC to Wuzhou, with benefits across production, quality, and equipment data convergence, closing the loop from data acquisition to analysis and decision-making. dataPARC unifies three critical layers: data sources, analytical methods, and visualization interfaces. As a result, management transparency has improved significantly, cross-functional collaboration is smoother, and exception identification and process analysis are faster. Most importantly, data has evolved from after-the-fact recording to in-process decision support. Looking ahead, this is just the starting point. Voith Paper will continue working alongside Wuzhou to deepen the application of dataPARC across production management, process analysis, and digital operations. #VoithPaper #BTG #dataPARC #TechnologyLeadership

Welcome to the family! With the rubber roll cover MegaDrive, Voith introduces a new generation of wire drive roll covers designed to bring more stability into one of the most demanding areas of paper production. In the forming section, reliable traction is key to consistent sheet formation and smooth machine operation. MegaDrive addresses exactly this: it combines high wear resistance with stable grip, even under harsh, abrasive conditions and fluctuating operating parameters. In comparative testing, the new cover shows up to 30% lower abrasion than standard solutions and retains its surface properties significantly longer. For paper and board producers, this translates into extended runtimes, fewer unplanned downtimes and reduced maintenance effort. What makes the difference is not just the material, but the approach. MegaDrive can be tailored to individual operating conditions and, when combined with Voith forming fabrics, becomes part of a coordinated solution for improved runnability in the forming section. #VoithPaper #MegaDrive #Service #Papermaking #Innovation

How do you get the wet end off to an excellent start – and keep the machine running smoothly for longer? First off, you need to maintain stable traction between the wire drive roll and the forming fabric. Voith’s next-generation wire drive roll cover – MegaDrive – is engineered to do exactly that. The wire drive roll is in a demanding position. Its job is to transfer drive power to the forming fabric and to keep it moving at the right speed with a constant and correct tension as the sheet is formed. When the grip is unstable, the forming section cannot perform at its best. Unreliable traction leads to slippage, sheet defects, unscheduled downtimes and extra maintenance effort. Voith engineers have developed MegaDrive to keep that traction stable and reliable for longer. Even in wet, highly abrasive conditions and under high mechanical loads. Even in fluctuating temperatures and at variable speeds. In comparative analysis with standard roll covers, MegaDrive holds up and holds tight: ✔️Up to 30 percent lower abrasion ✔️Fewer signs of aging, cracks and hardening ✔️Reliable performance over extended runtimes and service life For Ralf Moser, Global Product Manager Roll Covers at Voith Paper, one key advantage of MegaDrive is its flexibility: “The surface profile of MegaDrive can be tailored to the production setup and goals. Voith engineers can also recommend how to best combine MegaDrive with Voith forming fabrics for optimum results. This coordinated approach drives performance.” MegaDrive handles the pressure so papermakers can enjoy extended runtimes for improved machine runnability. #MegaDrive #FormingSection #Papermaking #Innovation
