Basis Weight Valve – 1550 Series

The Basis Weight Valve is a precision-engineered V-Notch Segmented Ball Control Valve developed to deliver accurate, stable, and continuous basis weight control in paper and pulp manufacturing processes. Designed for critical regulating duties, the valve ensures consistent flow control performance even under fluctuating operating conditions, directly contributing to improved paper quality and machine efficiency.

At the core of the valve is a precision-machined V-notch segmented ball, optimized to provide linear or equal-percentage flow characteristics across a wide operating range. This advanced geometry enables precise modulation at very low openings while maintaining high flow capacity at larger openings, ensuring uniform sheet formation, consistent GSM, and superior end-product quality.

The valve is equipped with an intelligent electric actuator featuring an integrated positioner and continuous position feedback. Supporting 4–20 mA control signals, the actuator allows seamless integration with PLC and DCS systems and ensures smooth, stable closed-loop control without hunting or overshoot.

Built for 24/7 continuous regulating service, the Basis Weight Valve offers a robust construction with soft-seat or metal-seat options, making it suitable for handling fibrous stock, fillers, coating colors, and chemically aggressive media.
