Guide: What are the Best Valves for Pulp & Paper Plants?
Valve Selection in Pulp and Paper Operations
Industry Expert Todd Greer, Pulp & Paper Industry Manager of DeZURIK, writes an informative article that appeared in Valve Magazine. Todd states, "The world's paper use has changed dramatically and so have the mills and machines that produce a widening array of paper and packaging products. The right valves often are not those with lower initial costs, but rather those that provide the lowest cost of ownership over the life of the valve. Knowing how to choose valves for applications in the growing industry of today can enhance performance and create profit. Key issues are:
- Cost and application considerations
- The different processes of mills and machines
- What valves make good choices
