Vacuum Valves

CHALLENGE

The vacuum system on the “Wet End” of the paper machine is critical to forming the sheet and providing a quality product.  Conditions are corrosive and conventional actuators do not last long in this service.

SOLUTION

Q Series actuator on a valve allows an all stainless steel design for longer service life and precise control. 

RESULTS

Customer no longer replaces actuators every 2-3 years and is able to maintain system performance with no degradation in performance.
