“Valmet is pleased to establish a relationship with one of North America’s most technologically advanced self-adhesive laminate producers.

Our goal is to help the customer achieve the full potential of their machine with minimal CO2 footprint.

Delivery’s technical information
The delivery will offer precise silicone measurement and control to maintain consistent coat weight and stabilize production, leading to raw material savings. The Valmet IQ Spectrometer will measure adhesive coat weight from the whole near-infrared spectrum without adherence to base material and adhesive recipe changes.
The Valmet IQ Moisturizer will increase the product’s final moisture, maintain it even during base material changes, and correct curling tendency. It is a CO2-free solution without the need for steam boilers or additives. Closed-loop controls will increase the level of automation, reducing operators’ workload with closed-loop moisture MD/CD and MD silicone controls.
