With modular design and low lifetime costs, it reportedly offers reliable consistency measurements without moving parts or need for preventive maintenance. The new patented detection principle utilizing contactless technology ensures reliability also in the future. 

With shear force measurement technology and a large blade and process couplings portfolio, it is possible to measure fiber consistency ranging from 0.7 to 16 percent in all types of installations in the entire pulp process.

Commissioning, calibration, and operation have been enhanced with a new Valmet Link user interface, a flexible platform with secure remote connection possibilities. With graphical display and clear menu structure, set-up and operation are fast and easy. Intuitive user interface and bigger display reportedly enable easier calibration and give a better overview of calibration data. The user interface is prepared for different communication protocols and can be updated for future functionalities.
