SOMAS basis weight valves - custom made for the pulp and paper industry

How about a valve designed with a single purpose in mind? Somas basis weight valves are designed fo use in the pulp and paper industry . Equipped with custom made actuators these valves acheive extremely high level of precision in control applications.

Basis weight valves in paper machines

The basis weight of the paper is determined by accurately measuring the flow rate of the fiber feed and the machine speed. To acheive the neccessary precision, a basis weight valve needs a control resolution of 1:8000. This is acheived by electrical actuators specially designed to provide for control adjustments in very small steps.

SOMAS ball segment valve is the type of valve best matched to this ultra-precise actuator, due to its linear characteristics and wide range of flow control.
