How is Valmet taking sustainability into account?

The pneumatic relay consumes 80-90% less air than the previous generation controllers.

Sustainability is at the core of our offering. We have designed the pneumatic relay of the Neles NDX 2.0 so that it provides a win-win-win solution for our customers, Valmet, and the environment. The pneumatic relay consumes 80-90% less air than the previous generation controllers. This can lead up to 0,5M€ and above annual savings in operational expenses at larger plants based on our installed base analysis. Through lower air consumption, the Neles NDX 2.0 uses less electricity during its lifecycle which also results in lower carbon dioxide emissions.
