Ready for the future of papermaking with DuoShake DG
been updated to bring it “into the digital age” by Voith. DuoShake, which has been used
A
by paper makers for more than 20 years as a means to improve paper quality and process efficiency, optimises fibre orientation through high-frequency shaking of the breast roll, which results in better sheet formation of all paper grades and a low tensile strength ratio.
With the latest version, DuoShake DG (Digital Generation), Voith says it is taking the next step on its journey to Papermaking 4.0 with the inclusion of control and automation functions of the shaking unit. The new features are said to significantly improve process reliability and machine availability. With the product update, papermakers are able to benefit from a number of new user-
shaking unit that provides optimum fibre orientation during sheet formation has
friendly operating features as well as smart automation functions: • Real-time data monitoring: All
relevant operating parameters can now be entered on site by using a fixed operator panel or optional use of mobile devices like tablets or smartphones. The web-based software used is a customised development from Voith. For maximum transparency, a cockpit interface provides users with a real-time display of all main parameters, for instance availability, stroke accuracy and drive frequency. ● Modern data visualization: The visualisation of the elements displayed is state-of-the-art and well-arranged; the touch controls are intuitive. Important information – for example on hydrostatic pressure as well as air, oil and motor temperature – is presented as an easy-to-see traffic light system. A customisable notification system for warning messages allows for fast response times if needed.
New control and automation functions with Duoshae-DG increase process reliability and machine availability
● Remote monitoring using mobile devices: Convenient remote monitoring means all operating parameters and other machine data can be viewed from mobile devices (Android, iOS) anywhere and at any time. Access permissions can be defined individually for each user. ● Optimised service function
Software developed by Voith offers clear visualization and intuitive operation

for maintenance: DuoShake DG records actual operating times. Real-time data on maintenance intervals and service life of the most important machine components, like motor and coupling, ensure a simplified yet reliable maintenance planning process. The actual operating condition is known at all times. If maintenance becomes necessary, the shutdown can be planned and scheduled to be as efficient as possible. ● Trend analysis and cloud
connection: DuoShake DG features
an innovative trend function for identifying and analyzing faults. In the event of faulty operation, an instantaneous evaluation allows for immediate intervention. With the help of a context analysis designed for a longer period of time, processes can also be systematically optimised. As an optional service from
Voith, an interface can be used to provide a connection between DuoShake DG and the Voith digital platform OnCumulus – a scalable, flexible and expandable data hub for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). The transmission of data and trends to Voith and an analysis and tweaking of the operating parameters by Voith experts result in increased availability, which then improves the overall efficiency of the paper machine.
