Schumacher Poledno maintenance manager Slawomir Kubinski said: “We had good experience with re-moisturising high-grammage five-ply boards with another device.

“However, the patented nozzles of the Valmet IQ Moisturiser provide a fine water mist instead of a water jet onto the board and thus offer better controllability.

“We can now use the device for all board grades without having the negative impact of water stripes.”

Last year, the Valmet moisturiser beams underwent successful trials on Schumacher Poledno’s 2.8m-wide production line.
