The cost of dewatering paper.  Vooner offers dewatering solutions for paper mills. Dewatering fabric on a paper machine consumes energy to physically remove particles of water.  If the vacuum pump is worn and airflow is down to 60% of original, energy and pump seal water is wasted and the white water must be removed thermally from the paper with steam in the dryer section to thermally vaporize the moisture at a much higher use of BTU energy / pound of water removed than used by vacuum pumps.

Vooner is a design and manufacturing company of paper and fabric dewatering equipment for paper machines.  In 1981,  the foundation of VPM was developed to provide rugged vacuum boxes and oscillating showers to clean the newer technology man-made fiber paper machine fabrics. Vooner FloGard® Corporation acquired the core of VPM in 2003 from Nash Elmo.  VPM provides a system approach to paper machine fabric conditioning to dewater paper to include the power of Vooner liquid ring vacuum pumps.

To insure economic performance Vooner, VPM, offers performance testing of dewatering equipment such as vacuum boxes, showers, piping and vacuum pumps. VPM uses the orifice plate method for measuring actual airflow at vacuum levels for a pump. The performance test results are put into a report which shows the total wasted energy and seal water included in the life time cost of ownership. From this report Vooner’s engineering staff is available to propose new improved vacuum pump with return of investment ROI for a new pump..  VPM relies on the TAPPI TIPs for recommended size vacuum system equipment.
