LEIPA Georg Leinfelder GmbH achieves 989-day run with Valmet Black Belt

LEIPA Georg Leinfelder GmbH, a European market leader in sustainable paper solutions, sought a high-performance shoe press belt for its Schrobenhausen mill that would deliver optimum dewatering, mechanical stability, a long service life, and energy efficiency. The company partnered with vendor Valmet to implement the Valmet Black Belt product.

Valmet implemented its unique Valmet Black Belt shoe press belt, which is resistant to wear, chemicals, and heat. The solution resulted in a stable and consistent paper quality and achieved all targets for dewatering performance, energy efficiency, and durability. A measurable impact was a new record runtime of nearly 1000 days (989 days) on the customer's board machine.
