Before using Valmet Clothing Guide Valve, every shift needed to clean the valves to prevent pulp buildup, and replaced around 50 valves per year for 6 machines.                                                                                                                                                                   Now, with the Valmet Clothing Guide Valve, cleaning is unnecessary because its design ensures a maintenance-free operation with a reliable lifetime. Thank you, Valmet!"
