Customer case:

Successful first EvoThrottle results in a second installation at Medite

Mar 11, 2017

Medite Smartply, Clonmel, Ireland was the site of the first installation of the new Valmet EvoThrottle blow valve. That took place in mid-December 2015. After one year of operation the results are in.

We saw early on that the new valve has many advantages. In addition to being extremely durable, it has had a beneficial effect on the stability of the system and has even led to energy savings.
