Valmet, a developer of services for the pulp, paper, and energy industries, has unveiled Valmet Pressure-fed Bow Screen, a versatile new addition to its stock preparation offering. The solution reinvents the traditional bow screen with a new, user-friendly design and better nozzle arrangement enabling higher capacity and greater runnability than before.

Working to maximise the effectiveness of fibre recovery and pulp thickening processes, Valmet Pressure-fed Bow Screen is ideal for tissue making applications. Other primary applications of the equipment include shower water protection filtration, police filtration, felt hair removal, and deinking stock washing, according to Valmet.

Valmet Pressure-fed Bow Screen is the company’s first new product that specifically leverages the technology, engineering and expertise gained from the acquired company GL&V. The product launch reinforces Valmet’s services approach ‘Shared Journey Forward’, a set of commitments that promises customers solutions built on their unique needs, safety, trust, and accessibility.

“A primary driving force behind the new design was our goal to provide a better, safer user experience for our operators at the mill level. The equipment is engineered to provide better accessibility than ever before, with the focus on service, maintenance, and everyday use,” Tony Bjorkenius, business manager, disc filters, services for Valmet said.
