Maintenance-free with reliable lifetime of Valmet Clothing Guide Valve

Pindo Deli - Perawang Mill Blok 4 in Indonesia faced high maintenance costs due to the short operational lifetimes of their conventional clothing guide valves. Their goal is to find a solution that ensures easy maintenance and extends operational lifetime.

Before using Valmet Clothing Guide Valve, every shift needed to clean the valves to prevent pulp buildup, and replaced around 50 valves per year for 6 machines.                                                                                                                                                                   Now, with the Valmet Clothing Guide Valve, cleaning is unnecessary because its design ensures a maintenance-free operation with a reliable lifetime. Thank you, Valmet!"
