Stationary and Oscillating Showers

Stationary and Oscillating Showers

Stationary showers are used for filtered freshwater and clarified whitewater applications where an even full-width distribution of water is required. They are usually furnished with fan-pattern nozzles; however, we offer an array of fan angles and orifices for optimal spray pattern.

Oscillating showers uniformly cover the width of the fabric, roll, or cylinder. They are typically used when high-pressure needle jets are required to deliver concentrated, high-energy spots to clean fabrics, rolls, or cylinders. Oscillating showers are also used for chemical or lubrication fan showers for superior and additional flow distributions. They can be furnished with jet nozzles and any combination of alternating jet and fan nozzles.

Spray Nozzles

Spray Nozzles
Spray nozzles are used to remove contaminants and are essential in the cleaning process of many manufacturing processes.

We manufacture thousands of spray nozzles including jet, fan, brush shower, disc fan, self-purging, trim squirt, and quick connect nozzles. Special tipped nozzles such as ruby and cermet are also available.

Nozzle Spray Options

ArresTech™ Spray Nozzle Enhancement

ArresTech spray nozzle enhancement is a proprietary plating technology that imparts hardness, abrasion resistance, and lubricity to the base metal. ArresTech spray nozzle enhancement performance characteristics combine to prevent thread galling, extend the base metal life, and accelerate nozzle installation, removal, and inspection.

Press Section Felt Cleaning Assembly

Press Section Felt Cleaning Assembly
The press section felt cleaning assembly, also known as UHLE pipe, is designed to enhance uniform CD dewatering and cleaning, and minimize energy consumption on the press section of a paper machine. Felt cleaning assemblies are available with optional heavy-duty fixed, manual, or automatic suction box rotators. Suction box rotators provide a safe and easy method to rotate the suction pipe for inspection, change wear surfaces, and remove pitch and stickies from covers.

Fixed Suction Box Rotators

The fixed suction box incorporates the optimal combination of weight and structural integrity to resist both deflection and vibration. It’s designed to withstand a vacuum of 20" Hg (0.07 MPa) and is available in 304L or 316L grade stainless steel. To ensure proper application, all felt cleaning assembly sizing is done using a proprietary sizing program.

Manual Suction Box Rotators

The manual suction box rotator is a fixed suction box rotator with the added feature of a jack-screw and hand-wheel assembly. It enables machine tenders to rotate the felt cleaning assembly up to 45° from the operating position for clean-up and inspection where required.

Automatic Suction Box Rotators

The automatic rotation option uses a hydraulic motor and provides up to 270° of rotation. The rotation is controlled using a panel designed for easy access. The panel also serves to enclose an electric pump that drives the hydraulic motor located on the felt cleaning assembly.

M-Clean™ System

The M-clean system is a modular cleaning system for fabrics, belts, and rolls in process industries. The modular design provides flexibility allowing all new equipment or a combination of new and existing equipment. Key components, such as spray nozzles, are also interchangeable to fit the application.

Each M-clean system has the capability to incorporate the kConnect™ series for intelligent monitoring that leads to insights about preventative maintenance and predictive monitoring for the system. The kConnect series uses a variety of sensors incorporated into the M-clean system for monitoring and analysis. The data collected can be used to optimize preventative maintenance to improve performance and reduce downtime.

Forming Systems

A forming system comprises of devices and equipment that support and remove the water throughout the development of the web of paper until it reaches a state that will allow it to transfer to a pressing stage.  There are two types of forming systems, High-Resolution™ and FC Former™.

Forming products are the devices and equipment that support and remove the water throughout the development of the web of paper until it reaches a state that will allow it to transfer to a pressing stage. Forming products consist of forming boards, foil blades, deckles, deckle boards, wear surfaces, low vacuum units, high vacuum units, and top formers.

High Resolution™ Forming System

The High-Resolution forming system is designed for use with packaging grades of paper. This three-component system consisting of high-resolution drainage structures, Stepfoil™ technology, and high precision vacuum control provides the papermaker with excellent activity control across broad grade structures and different furnishes while maintaining an open sheet. The simple system with no moving on machine parts provides a robust and reliable system that increases table dewatering capacity and sheet activity control with a low total cost of ownership.


fcformer forming system

FCFormer™ Forming System

Replacing two conventional hydraulic or vats used to make multiply coated or uncoated boxboard, the FCFormer forming system can carry a high fiber load and operate at higher speeds than conventional underfelt formers. The unique, patented VID forming technology enhances drainage without sealing the sheet or decreasing retention.

M-clean™ PRO

m-clean pro

The M-clean PRO has the largest installation base and is the most powerful unit within the M-clean system product line. It contains a complete set of high-pressure pumps, evacuations, and control systems where a desired number of cleaning units are connected. The system effectively cleans both the surface and deep inside the fabric structure or roll cover and ensures that all removed impurities are collected and discharged outside the machine. Current applications include, but not limited to process industries such as paper, nonwovens, fiberglass mat, wood paneling, food processing.

M-clean™ ULTRA

m-clean ultra

The M-clean ULTRA is a scaled version of the M-clean PRO constructed with a simpler, more streamlined design to suit narrow and tight wet end positions. The M-clean ULTRA works with lower water pressure and a simplified pumping and control system but offers all necessary features suitable for a high-quality system. It’s designed for continuous operation; however, some applications require only intermittent use. Current applications include, but not limited to process industries such as paper, nonwovens, fiberglass mat, wood paneling, food processing.

M-clean™ BRUSH

m-clean brush

The M-clean BRUSH uses the same method of high-pressure water, evacuation, and air knife system as the M-clean PRO and works in combination to remove impurities, dried out coating color residues, and roll contaminants. Additionally, it has a rotating brush which is an integrated part of the cleaning head for removing contaminants from the roll surface. The cleaning head includes double nozzle bodies for shock cleaning during breaks and continuous cleaning. Current applications include, but not limited to process industries such as paper, nonwovens, fiberglass mat, wood paneling, food processing.
