The Advantage™ WetDust™ system allows a cleaner, safer and environmentally friendlier tissue production through the use of the wet concept.
Prevents dust from migrating to the tissue machine hall
Improves the safety of the working environment
Eliminates risks of fire and plugging
Reduces machine downtime
For a safe working environment
Valmet Advantage WetDust system is designed to capture dust where it is created by encapsulating it in water, to contain it near the source and to prevent it from migrating to the tissue machine hall.
The well-established concept makes use of a fully wet system, eliminating typical issues associated with “dry systems” (fires and plugging).
The equipment provides a healthy, safe and comfortable working environment for tissue machine operators and minimizes manual cleaning, thus reducing machine downtime.

Advantage WetDust Cap with enclosure
and Elephant Trunk
- Efficiency of dust removal is improved by containing dust within the dry end of the Tissue Machine
- Small paper pieces are captured with no plugging during paper breaks
- Washable Dust Cap roof available
- Easy access to dry end (transparent walls and doors)
- In-line washing system (Venturi) to wet the dust coming from the Elephant Trunk
Advantage WetDust system with Air Curtain
An Advantage WetDust system can be made even more effective by the application of the Air Curtain. The dusty boundary layer produced during the creping is removed using an air barrier which helps to create a separate dust containment zone in the area. The Air Curtain is directed to the underside of the moving web, near the yankee pulper chute
Air system for Advantage WetDust
- One droplet separator for the system
- Wet exhaust system
- Less maintenance
- No fire risks
