Runtech at TAPPICon: Showcasing Sustainable Vacuum Solutions for the Paper Industry

Runtech Systems will proudly showcase its industry-leading RunEco vacuum system at TAPPICon 2025, underlining its continued commitment to sustainable innovation in the pulp and paper sector.

The RunEco system replaces traditional vacuum technology with adjustable-speed turbo blowers, delivering optimal vacuum exactly where it’s needed—thanks to real-time, precise water flow measurement. The integrated EcoFlow dewatering meters ensure vacuum levels are fine-tuned to prevent energy waste, contributing to a more efficient and environmentally responsible operation.

A major highlight will be the RunEco EP650 AMB, featuring active magnetic bearing (AMB) technology. With shroudless impellers crafted from a forged, high-strength steel alloy, the EP650 AMB offers unmatched durability and performance. The incorporation of AMBs provides frictionless, oil-free operation, eliminating contact between moving parts and reducing the risk of impeller build-up or leakage—ensuring a low-maintenance, clean solution for demanding paper machine environments.

Runtech’s wire-to-air efficiency exceeds 60%, peaking over 70% across a broad operating range, thanks to precise axial force measurement and optimized impeller design. This marks a significant leap forward in vacuum system performance and sustainability.

As a global leader in engineered systems for the paper industry, Runtech offers a complete portfolio, including vacuum and heat recovery optimization, runnability improvements, dewatering, doctoring, cleanliness solutions, and ropeless tail threading—backed by expert services, spare parts, audits, and consulting.
