POM's compact wet end technology is based on a novel approach: simply less.
An important part of our technology is what we leave out -- no tanks, silos, wire pits, etc. A much smaller footprint and a simpler solution for retrofits, upgrades, and new machines. Air is removed early in the process, reducing the volume significantly – typically three times less than conventional “Big Box” equipment.
An airless system, without wire pits, silos, and tanks gives you at least four important things: stable paper production, a clean sheet, fast start-ups and grade changes, and less energy consumption.
Principal features of POM Approach Flow process :
- Stock is prepared on a “just-in-time” basis
- Air is excluded
- Operating pressure is high
- Process flows are rapid
- Reject streams are promptly re-introduced into the system
- The system is hydraulically self-contained
- Stable pressure is ensured through hydraulic overflow
- Process flows are controlled directly
- The equipment footprint is small
Compact POM wet end technology: Simply less. Simply better.
