Case Study: Schoellershammer improves packaging paper production with Valmet press felts

Schoellershammer doubles production capacity with Valmet press felts

The customer, Schoellershammer GmbH & Co. KG, a long-established paper producer, faced the industry challenge of adapting to decreased demand for printing paper by investing in a new machine for packaging paper production. For their PM 5 machine, they required high-quality press felts from a reliable partner, which led them to vendor Valmet.

Valmet provided its high-quality seamed press felts for the customer's PM 5. The solution resulted in excellent runnability, dewatering, and felt lifetime, which helped stabilize the paper machine's run. Valmet's seamed felts also improved safety during installation and reduced downtime. This investment allowed Valmet to expand its production capacity for thicker seamed felts to meet growing market demand.
