Runtech Systems has delivered a RunEco vacuum system rebuild to Sonoco Products Co. Subang mill in Indonesia. The delivery includes a RunEco EP600 Turbo Blower with EcoDrop water separator and EcoFlow dewatering measurements.
Additionally, Runtech Systems has delivered a RunEco vacuum system rebuild to Sonoco Cores and Paper Limited Stainland mill in the United Kingdom. The delivery includes a RunEco EP600 Turbo Blower with ABB motor and drive, transformer, new EcoSep pre-separators, EcoFlow dewatering measurements, and detailed engineering.
Mr. Hannu Kääriä, Sales Director, Runtech Systems, said, “Our EP Turbo Blowers are ideal for rebuilds as they are compact and easy to install and very economical to own and operate. Upgrading the vacuum system not only saves energy but also brings flexibility. With our turbo blower technology, the turbo speed is automatically adapted to the needed vacuum level.”

Mr. Jussi Lahtinen, Sales Director, Runtech Systems, said, “With today’s energy challenges and the aim to lower carbon footprint it is even more important that our Turbo Blowers are very economical to own and operate. A tailored solution with flexible and variable capacity can help balance supply and demand, leading to optimized dewatering and minimized power consumption.”
Mr. Peter Donnelly, Mill Manager, Sonoco Board Mill, Stainland, Halifax, said, “Runtech vacuum system concept is very interesting for us because by using Ecoflows we can actually see how much vacuum is needed. We started the project by doing a Runtech vacuum audit and after that pre-engineering including the 3D scan and 3D modelling of the existing vacuum system. Pre-engineering gave us all necessary information to calculate the project costs and ROI accurately. Now we are able to execute the project much quicker when a big part of the engineering is already done so good pre-engineering saves also time.”

Environmentally friendly and energy efficient, the RunEco vacuum system provides a reliable, completely water-free vacuum solution. Less energy and no water contribute to lower CO2 emissions and a smaller environmental footprint. EP Turbo Blowers always have variable speed and capacity, which allows the vacuum system to be optimized quickly without bleed air and with minimal throttling and expansion losses. With an integrated high-speed motor controlled by a frequency converter, rotation speed, and vacuum level can be adjusted according to the process requirements. EcoFlow dewatering measurement provides accurate real-time feedback about the dewatering performance along the paper machine which can be used to optimize dewatering and vacuum levels in the forming and press sections.
