Avoid winder vibration with modern software and hardware tools
Some paper grades generate winder vibration. Modern tools help, such as 4-way hydraulic valves, stiffer drums with lower dynamic runout and automated controls.

Always putting the customer first
Global valve expert Neles is on an exciting journey. In 2020 the company spun out of Metso, in July this year Flowrox’s valve and pump businesses were acquired and further alterations could follow from a proposed merger with Valmet. These are just the latest steps in a success story that started back in 1956. Now celebrating its 65th anniversary, Neles has earned its status as a global supplier of choice thanks to the company’s unrelenting dedication to ensuring customers receive the very best solutions for their flow control applications.
Managing wear in severe services
Wear in valves is surely an important concern for plant owners and operators. Eroded valve internals can have a long-term effect on the functioning and profitability of process facilities. Materials such as ceramic reinforced metals can be a good solution to increase component lifetimes in industries such as oil and gas, says Valmet’s Mr Jussi Hellman.
Reactive, preventive or predictive?
When it comes to maintenance, which is the right solution for a plant?
Taking a comprehensive maintenance approach to maximize PSA unit availability
A pressure swing adsorption (PSA) unit had become the source of a huge annual loss for several years in a French refinery. Constant failures of the unit systems led to unplanned shutdowns and loss of availability. Additionally, the refinery wanted to expand the unit to meet growing needs.
We make customer service up close and personal
Reliability is a core element of what we as a valves partner want to provide. Being close to our pulp and paper customers and having an in-depth understanding of their production processes is a prerequisite for good service. As a Resident engineer at a customer mill, I have a unique point of view in terms of customer proximity and understanding.
Moving toward the future with sustainable biofuels
The word “biofuel” has been a known term for many years now. However, we have transitioned into a new period of time when biofuel has become significantly more important globally. But do you know that not all biofuels are actually sustainable? And what makes a biorefinery really efficient? Let’s take a closer look.
Proven valve performance for all hydrogen service
With hydrogen being such a hot mainstream topic of discussion due to its role in the green energy transition, it is worth remembering that it is nothing new to some of us. Valmet as a developer, manufacturer and provider of valve solutions has decades of experience with hydrogen applications in refinery environments and the petrochemical industry in general.
