Softys Caieiras sets 600-day record with Valmet Black Belt R

Softys Caieiras, a Brazilian tissue producer and part of the CMPC Group, sought to achieve operational excellence and extend running cycles on a competitor's tissue machine under demanding conditions. To meet this challenge, they partnered with vendor Valmet, utilizing the Valmet Black Belt R shoe press belt and the Valmet ViscoNip press upgrade.

Valmet implemented its high-performance Black Belt R technology and provided close, continuous technical support, including monthly follow-ups and monitoring with Valmet BeltScan. This solution enabled Softys Caieiras to set a new 600-day service record, achieving consistent press dryness above 45% and ensuring uniform product quality. The results delivered stable operation, high dimensional stability, and supported efficient energy use and productivity.
