Why Valmet Paper Lab

At-line – No need to wait

Installation by the paper machine

Testing sequence refined to the smallest detail:
  • With no time to waste, the PM operation team can rely on the functionality of the tools needed in the test sequence.
  • Results transfer immediately to the automation and/or quality system for process management control purposes.
  • A machine operator needs only two hours of training to perform tests directly next to the line.
Sampling & sample preparation:
  • To quickly deliver samples from the paper machine, tabletop sample preparation units roll cross direction strips onto cores for easy loading into the sample feeder.
  • Or to eliminate unnecessary “tear-off” paper and for even faster sample preparation, a walk-along sample cutter prepares one cross direction strip of paper, wrinkle free.
Sample feeding:
  • A flexible sample feeding system satisfies the needs for testing cross direction strips, machine direction strips or individual sheets.
Testing:
  • After getting the sample core on the sample feeder, push one key to start testing. Measurement results are automatically shown on the mill screens
  • If desired, a small test cabin can be included in the delivery.
