Did you know that thanks to a Finnish innovation you can drink your coffee from a disposable cup that doesn’t have a plastic coating on its inner surface? And, after finishing your coffee, you can toss the cup into the paper recycling.
Insights ● Customer storyHistory of the Neles Q-Trim technology
One of our best-known flow control brands, Q-BALL™, has its roots in 1978 when a French “valve expert” Roger Bey presented his low noise and anti-cavitation solution developed for the ball valve to Antti Nelimarkka, the founder of Neles company (now Valmet's flow control business line). Q-BALL was the very first brand in famous Q-Trim™ technology aiming to reduce noise in control valves.

The world’s first next-generation bioproduct mill, started up on schedule and within budget on August 15, 2017 in Äänekoski, is the biggest investment in Finnish forest industry history. Neles was selected as the main supplier of valve solutions, and the new mill has some 3,000 valves with auxiliary devices ensuring operational processes, production reliability and environmental efficiency.
Insights ● Customer storyWhy the evolving pulp, paper and bioproducts industry trusts the new modular Neldisc butterfly valve?
Valmet's flow control business line has a strong history when it comes to valve solutions for the pulp & paper industry. Like many other valves over the years, the Neles™ Neldisc butterfly valve was originally born in the 1970s to specifically serve in pulp and paper mills. Its strong performance gave it a universal appeal beyond just pulp & paper. Today, after undergoing much development, it is still a go-to valve for the rapidly evolving pulp, paper and bioproducts industry.
Insights ● Blog postSimple steps can prevent valve issues during start-up
Unexpected problems in flow control equipment are the bane of all process engineers looking to start up projects on schedule. Valves are often (incorrectly) identified as being ‘bad actors’ as the root cause tends to lie elsewhere, is the experience of Valmet’s Mr Börjesson. Better on-site practices could be the solution, is his message

Insights ● Blog postEfficient valve instrumentation
Automated process valves actuated by pneumatic actuators always need pneumatic and/or electro-pneumatic instrumentation components to build up the specific functionalities required for each application. Typically, these instrumentation components are mounted all around the actuator. The number of instrumentation components available in the market is huge. Additionally, even the most common functionalities can be built in many different ways.
