Dewatering equipment beneath the forming fabric helps drain water from the stock and conduct it away into the whitewater system. Proper initial drainage is important whether your priority is to increase production capacity or improve quality, or both. Valmet offers a comprehensive range of polyethylene and ceramic dewatering elements to suit virtually all positions and OEM machine configurations.
Valmet solutions that combine parts and expert support will drive your production performances further. When you choose Valmet performance parts you are not just buying wear parts. You are also gaining greater availability, higher end-product quality and enhanced productivity.
With the combination of parts and expertise, we can together make a difference at every stage of your production process. We have increased production output and decreased total costs together by applying optimal performance parts to each position.
Our carefully selected materials are used in different applications for different purposes. For example, we finalize our ceramics to very low surface roughness to make sure that fabric wear and power consumption is minimal.
