Accurate raw material measurements for improved production efficiency
Valmet IQ Spectrum Measurements
Valmet IQ Spectrum Measurements, including the new advanced IQ Reflection Spectrum Measurement (RSM) and IQ Transmission Spectrum Measurement (TSM) solutions, are designed to meet the increasing demands for resource optimization, production efficiency and quality. These solutions provide an online, direct and non-radioactive method for accurately measuring a wide range of materials, including fibers, binders, water, polymers and more.
High-resolution, non-contact spectrum measurements for all materials
Enhanced efficiency and end-product quality with real-time process control
Cost savings through optimized material usage
Reduced environmental impact through minimized waste
Meeting global industry challenges
Valmet IQ Spectrum Measurements are designed to address today’s global trends in recyclability, lightweighting and sustainability. Thanks to advancements in sensor technology, the solution can now measure diverse materials with a single sensor – an achievement previously limited by the lack of high-quality components for the relevant spectral range.
Optimizing material usage
As companies use more bio-based coatings, barriers and raw materials, there is a growing demand for more sophisticated technologies to effectively measure these materials. The ability of IQ Spectrum Measurements to measure even thin layers of plastic precisely helps manufacturers optimize material usage without sacrificing quality. This opens up new possibilities for industries like nonwovens and specialty coatings, where accurate measurement of components and proportions is critical.
Improving production efficiency
Valmet IQ Spectrum Measurements offer comprehensive yet user-friendly solutions for improving production efficiency. Based on advanced sensor technology, the solutions produce high-resolution, non-contact, non-radioactive material measurements for improved material use, reduced waste – and greater sustainability.
Using accurate real-time data, manufacturers can fine-tune the proportions of expensive raw materials like binders and coatings, maximizing profitability while maintaining optimal production quality.
By allowing the easy addition of new grades and materials, Valmet IQ Spectrum Measurements help customers stay competitive in an evolving market. The solutions also feature advanced diagnostics and calibration tools to further streamline operations and ensure consistent performance.
The Valmet IQ measurement advantage
All Valmet IQ measurement sensors share common design features that increase accuracy and reliability. They offer high data transmission speed and minimum maintenance requirements.
Intelligence inside the sensor heads and direct remote access capabilities provide advanced diagnostics for predictive maintenance and fast problem solving. Each sensor platform can be equipped with an air curtain for the measurement gap to equalize temperatures from on-sheet to off-sheet scanning and reduce dust accumulation.
The factory-calibrated measurement sensors are designed to tolerate harsh environments. Noise immunity meets European EMC directives.
