The region west of Sao Paulo in Brazil has become the world’s largest producer of cellulose. With annual production of approximately 1.5 million tons of bleached eucalyptus market pulp, Eldorado Brazil’s new Três Lagoas mill is currently the largest single-line pulp mill in the world. And further expansions are planned.

Stafsjö, a company in the German Bröer Group, has recently made substantial investments to increase capacity and raise production efficiency. The investment, that amounts to 2,3 M EUR, includes among others two new multi-operation machines, three new assembly and pressure testing lines and a new testing facility for product development and R&D.

Stafsjö continues to focus on engineering and manufacturing of high pressure valves and introduces the SLH and SLX for really demanding applications with slurry and other abrasive media.

The HX valve is an extreme high pressure valve for severe operating conditions, high pressures and concentrated media within several field of applications. It is also a complement to the existing range of through-going "O" port gates, the HL, HG, HP and HPT, that have been proving for decades a really safe and reliable shut-off of static media columns, such as pulp up to 18%.
