LEIPA is the world’s first paper mill to employ virtual reality (VR) from Voith as a modern and immersive training method.

The mining industry is facing serious challenges, including declining ore concentrations, harsh weather conditions at remote locations and a growing interest in environmental protection.

Voith has added a new tool for remote video support to its service portfolio, offering customers access to expert support at any time and from any location. OnCall.Video enables fast problem-solving and cuts downtimes, resulting in improved machine availability and productivity. Withthis tool, Voithis playing an important role in making processes even more efficient and sustainable through the use of digital solutions.

The Voith TurboBelt TPXL series is now available in sizes 315 and 2,500 kW and opens up an extended application portfolio.

The technology group Voith and the Spanish electricity generation company Iberdrola recently signed a contract to modernize a total of five pump turbines for the Spanish hydroelectric power plants Torrejón and Valdecañas located on the River Tajo.

German paper manufacturer Progroup AG has successfully commissioned the PM 3, one of the most modern packaging paper machines in the world, at the company’s Sandersdorf-Brehna facility in Saxony-Anhalt.

Recently, Voith and Snowy Hydro agreed to collaborate for the Murray 1 power station and create a smart hydropower plant by installing acoustic sensing equipment to monitor and protect hydropower assets.

Paper manufacturer Laakirchen Papier AG demonstrated its future focus and adaptability by rebuilding its PM 10 from recovered magazine paper to corrugated medium in 2017. The company is now entering the age of digitalization with a large-scale project. The partner for the project, which is expected to transform the Laakirchen plant into a model digital site, is the Voith Group, which has been actively driving digital transformation in the paper industry for years.

Since February, the two systems have already been running reliably for over 6,000 hours, improving not only the overall efficiency of the drive train but also significantly decreasing noise emissions and vibrations. This is another milestone for Voith in pushing ahead with the continuous electrification of its proven drive technologies, thus meeting the growing demand for energy-efficient variable speed drives in the power and oil & gas markets.

Voith extends its range of OnCare.Health monitoring solutions to include an easy-to-use system for industrial fan and pump drive trains. It employs state-of-the-art sensor technology and connected components to increase the system’s availability. Further, it allows for easy and reliable monitoring of operating data as well as use in advanced IoT applications such as predictive maintenance.
