Release coating for drying cylinders improves quality, case study

Poor dryer cylinder release causes runnability problems, sheet picking and dusting. At their worst, these problems place limits on cylinder temperatures and operating speeds. Sun Paper overcame these challenges with Valmet Dryer Roll Cover DOH onsite coating and improved their paper quality. Valmet Dryer Roll Cover DOH is based on the latest polymer chemistry, modern thermal spraying technology, and long experience.

The knowledge-sharing advantage of strong OEM partnerships

Managing the loss of expert insight and the need for succession planning challenges manufacturers today, particularly those in the pulp and paper industries.

Forming OEM partnerships to optimize pulp mill performance

As an OEM, Valmet has the resources and expertise to identify root causes of existing system limitations, and develop realistic paths to optimize performance.

Simple steps can prevent valve issues during start-up

Unexpected problems in flow control equipment are the bane of all process engineers looking to start up projects on schedule. Valves are often (incorrectly) identified as being ‘bad actors’ as the root cause tends to lie elsewhere, is the experience of Valmet’s Mr Börjesson. Better on-site practices could be the solution, is his message

Challenges and solutions for molsieve dryer processes

Molecular sieves, or molsieves, are used in the refining and petrochemical process industries as adsorbents. They are mainly used in scenarios whereby very dry streams are required, helping to remove water and other oxygen sources to avoid catalyst deactivation and potential corrosion problems in the process plant. Molsieves exist in different pore sizes and their use varies between applications.

Reliable Flowrox™ metering pumps eliminate chemical spills in a waste water treatment plant

Camden Waste Water Treatment Plant needed a more reliable and safer dosing operation than the previous selected solutions.
