Summary
Location
Skoghall, Sweden
Customer target
Customer’s target was to improve cleanliness through extreme wear resistance cleaner and improve roll cover durability.
Solution
The mill chose the high-pressure cleaning device, Valmet Smoothing Press Roll Cleaner, designed for smoothing press applications and extreme durable Valmet Press Roll Cover PK.
Results
Both smoothing press roll cleaner and Valmet Press Roll Cover PK met the customer’s expectations. Smoothing press roll cleaner resulted in clear maintenance cost savings, since the cleaning device can be maintained while the machine is running. The new Valmet Press Roll Cover PK has also shown lower and safer temperatures under operation.
Valmet Smoothing Press Roll Cleaner can be serviced while the machine is running.
