Control blade beam deflection to maintain coat weight profiles

Coater beams deflect due to coating temperatures, paper temperatures and the temperature of the environment. Newer and wider coating machines are equipped with beam heating/cooling chambers that can be controlled to maintain a straight beam and hence better coat weight profiles.

Aqua cooling improves calendering results at Ingerois, case study

Valmet's new aqua cooling technology makes the board end-product more lightweight, without compromising functional and visual properties. By ideally conditioning the sheet via effective web cooling, bulk can be improved at target smoothness.

Comparison of hard and soft bearing roll balancing methods

Hard bearing type balancers measure residual unbalance. Soft bearing type balancers use a stroboscope and pickups to measure vibration amplitude and direction.

Valmet reduces fabric change time with no creasing, a case study

A new fabric change system created through cooperation between mill personnel and Valmet improves work safety, significantly shortens fabric change time and increases production time.

Energy consumption minimization in LC refining (webinar)

Low-consistency refining uses a significant amount of a mill's electricity consumption, especially refining in paper/board grades based on virgin fibers.

Is it time to convert your boiler to gas for energy savings?

If your power or recovery boilers are older and running on oil or other fuel sources - converting to natural gas may be a wise decision. Valmet has rebuilt several boilers, resulting in a cleaner less costly operation.

Common pulp washing fundamentals – How and why do we wash pulp?

Washing of pulp is a critical unit operation in the fiberline. Although washer designs differ, each type functions to wash pulp using common fundamental principles.
