Valmet introduces a new rotating consistency measurement for pulp and paper producers

5 October 2023

Valmet has unveiled a revamped version of its Valmet Rotating Consistency Measurement (Valmet Rotary) system for pulp and paper manufacturers. This updated transmitter features the latest technology, a fresh user interface, and simplified maintenance procedures while maintaining its core functionality of providing highly precise fiber consistency measurements for critical applications.

Sami Laaksonen, Product Manager at Valmet's Automation Systems business line, emphasized the durability and reliability of the new measurement system. He noted that it builds upon proven technology and extensive experience to offer robustness and longevity. The system incorporates patented technology that ensures rapid measurement response and swift adjustments to consistency variations.

The redesigned Valmet Rotating Consistency Measurement introduces a new mechanical design and electronic solution to enhance its reliability. Despite the changes, the third-generation system maintains the same level of accuracy as its predecessor. The simplified design streamlines on-site maintenance, making it quicker and more straightforward, ultimately resulting in lower overall lifetime costs.

The Valmet Rotating Consistency Measurement relies on shear force measurement technology, which delivers exceptional performance even in challenging environments characterized by high temperatures, pressures, and abrasive chemicals. Its modular design ensures versatility, covering consistency measurements across a range from 1.5 to 16 percent.

To improve usability, commissioning, calibration, and operation have been upgraded with a new Valmet Link user interface. This flexible platform offers secure remote connectivity options. With a graphical display and a clear menu structure, both setup and operation become fast and user-friendly. The intuitive user interface, featuring a larger display, simplifies the calibration process and provides a better overview of calibration data. Moreover, the user interface is designed to accommodate various communication protocols and can be updated to support future functionalities.
