The Valmet optical consistency transmitter is a new member in the Valmet portfolio of consistency transmitters that uses state of the art technology with a new design, offering reliable measurement at all times. The Valmet OC is suitable for many fiber consistency installations. The operating range is between 0.5 – 7 % consistency, as majority of the applications are in the lower part of that range.

In mechanical pulping (e.g. TMP, GW and CTMP) typical applications are grinders, cyclone cleaners, latency removal, screening and low consistency refining. In chemical pulping, the new transmitter can be used for screening, washing, refining, and drying machine applications.
