Direct contact all along the line

Xerium has released a complete range of fabrics, felts, rolls and roll covers aimed at the paper industry's high-growth packaging sector.
Xerium Europe:

True to its pioneering position as one of the world's leading suppliers of paper machine clothing, rolls and roll covers, the company has once again stepped up to the plate by delivering innovative, sustainable product technologies and customer-driven service solutions designed to make paper production systems efficient by cutting costs and saving energy.

As the paper market in the EMEA region continues to be under pressure, product quality and reproducibility are more important than ever. This increasingly shifts the focus to process technologies; above all, the aspect of sustainability, which is an absolute must and is subject to high scrutiny in an era of environmental responsibility and increasing resource shortages.

All-inclusive package from a single source – value added based on conviction
For years, Xerium has proven itself to be a reliable partner and pioneer in the field of paper machine clothing and rolls/roll covers, essentially driving the progress of the graphic paper segment with its countless patented product technologies. Now the company is transferring the knowledge acquired in that segment even more to the packaging sector in an effort to meet the needs of ever stricter specifications for modern packaging paper machines. Customers will benefit not only from state-of-the-art end-to-end clothing and roll solutions, but also from the company's close geographic proximity, which is essential to fast, direct local support.

"Direct contact all along the line – the play on words is intentional," explains Ernst Kerschhofer, Vice President Sales & Service Xerium Europe.

"It means that not only do our fabrics, felts and roll products directly touch the end product and thereby have a considerable impact on paper quality and process efficiency, but also that our customers can rest assured we will always be nearby and able to quickly offer personal consultation, field service and support. Working in partnership is a high priority at Xerium. We are always located right next door to our customers, a one-stop shop for clothing and rolls."

It is the only way to guarantee that the forward-looking product packages with value added guarantees remain steadily focused on the individual needs of customers and constantly shifting markets, thereby achieving the desired success for both parties, even when times are tough.

Xerium Packaging – one system meshing with the next

Meeting new market requirements by rapidly developing profitable product concepts is a guiding principle followed by all departments at Xerium: Interdisciplinary teams working closely with customers develop innovative end-to-end solutions that offer all papermakers attractive paybacks through improved efficiency and lower costs. The new "Xerium Packaging" product package speaks to the needs of the packaging papers growth segment. The trend toward printed packaging papers, some of which specify ever lower grammages, demands not only finer paper quality to improve printability, but also comes along with adapting machine layouts and often rebuilding machines that were previously used for newsprint or graphic papers. In order to be able to guarantee measurable product advantages, developers therefore sharpened their focus on detailed application analyses at site when designing the new product lines. The result is a product package consisting of numerous new forming fabric, press felt and roll technology designs.

The challenge in the packaging sector is in the wide range of paper types that must be covered by a single paper machine. Printability, machine speed and a wide range of basis weights are key specifications that can only be satisfied by advanced PMC technologies. New product structures, material and polymer development are important input variables. The performance attributes of the individual product groups are not only tuned to the particular target machine, but also interact in such a way that their individual benefits cumulate along the key drainage sections, which makes the final consolidated value added quite respectable.
