With Valmet’s quality management solutions, we can help them achieve the project’s goals and improve their competitiveness,” says Thossapon Arunsaengsuree, Solution Sales Manager, Southeast Asia, Automation Systems, Valmet.

Technical information about the shipment

The delivery consists of a Valmet IQ Warp Measurement, a Valmet IQ Moisturizer with three spraybooms, a Valmet IQ Multipoint Moisture, Temperature Measurements and Microwave moisture measurement, which are integrated through automatic closed-loop controls.

The Valmet IQ corrugator quality control system combines online moisture, temperature and warpage measurements. It is used to control all types of corrugated board in order to reduce sheet warpage, improve gluing, and thus maximise the performance of corrugated box plants. Controlling the moisture content of the finished product plays a vital role in eliminating sheet warpage and cracking during converting.
