Runtech’s EP technology for paper machine vacuum systems is based on variable speed turbo blowers and can cut the paper machine vacuum system energy costs by approx. 30% to 70% compared to more traditional technologies. EP Turbo Blowers operate totally water free, zeroing out water handling and/or treatment costs for the entire vacuum system. Due to EP Turbo’s fully adjustable speed, it is very easy to optimize the vacuum system to meet varying operational situations. This creates a vacuum system with superior operational efficiency compared to other vacuum systems available
