Kadant products are used in various metal industry applications, including rolling mills, galvanizing, coating, and painting. New technologies in new roll cleaning systems increases efficiency, reduces waste, enhances quality, and promotes sustainability.
Roll Cleaner Assemblies
Roll cleaner assemblies are comprised of a roll cleaning blade, blade holder, structural beam, brackets, and bearings along with an option to oscillate. Clean rolls make a difference in metal processing. Our family of roll cleaning systems set the bar for roll cleaning and contaminant removal.
Kadant roll cleaner assemblies are ideal technologies for bridle, pinch, deflector, turn down, steering, tower, tension level, temper rolls, accumulator rolls, and looper rolls to increase quality and reduce sheet defects.
Roll cleaner assemblies such as the VeriLite™ and VeriKleen™ when used with the Ultra C™ roll cleaning blade are designed for metals processing with a compact design, improved safety, and quick blade changes.
