Case Study: a tissue producer in Southeast Asia extends suction touch roll lifetime with Valmet Press Roll Cover PL-V

a tissue producer in Southeast Asia extends suction touch roll lifetime from 2 to 5 years with Valmet

A tissue producer in Southeast Asia faced a challenge with the short lifetime of their suction touch roll cover, which was initially a blind-drilled rubber cover lasting only two years. Seeking to enhance roll performance and ensure excellent product quality, they partnered with Valmet for a new solution.

Valmet implemented their Press Roll Cover PL-V, a high wear-resistant polyurethane cover. This solution dramatically increased the cover's lifetime from 2 to 5 years, reducing maintenance costs and ensuring consistent, high-quality end products. The customer was so satisfied with the results that they placed three repeated orders with Valmet.
