Water Resource Recovery Strainers
A proper water resource recovery system is used to effectively and efficiently reclaim white water, heat, chemicals, and fiber from a variety of process industry applications.
Wear Surfaces
Wear surfaces in paper forming are sometimes referred to as foil blades, forming blades, or drainage elements provide the support on the drainage structures in the forming and pressing sections of a paper machine.
Wear surfaces are in direct contact with paper machine clothing and can have a profound impact on overall production and paper quality. There are three families of wear surfaces: polyethylene, ceramic, and hybrid.

In-line Pressure Filters
The simple filter design of Kadant in-line filters allows screens to be serviced quickly and efficiently.
Our simple filter design of in-line filters can be provided in either a single or duplex arrangement. A single in-line filter is normally used in applications where the flow can be interrupted, or the filter can be bypassed when the filter element is serviced. Duo filters are typically used when continuous filtration is required.
Features
-
Baffled flow design provides uniform dispersion over the media resulting in longer media life and less frequent cleaning
-
Quarter-turn cap provides rapid access to filter elements without tools
-
Optional vent cap for added safety
-
Positive sealing o-rings maintain absolute seal integrity to prevent bypass
-
Filter media available in synthetic fabrics, wire mesh, slotted wedge wire, diffusion bonded
Benefits
-
Easy inspection and cleaning
-
Element centering pin ensures the filter element is axially aligned
-
Duo-filter configuration offers single-unit cleaning while the second filter and filtration line continue operating

Electro-Mechanical Shower Oscillators
Oscillators are devices that move a shower pipe back and forth across the showered surface.
Electro-mechanical shower oscillators are precisely synchronized with the machine speed and fabric loop to ensure that 100% of the fabric is cleaned. Oscillating shower systems are critical to fabric, roll, or cylinder cleaning performance because they permit the use of higher intensity needle jet nozzles for deeper cleaning action or better flow distribution on lubrication or chemical applications.

Mist Elimination Systems
The Mist Eliminator is a unique system that incorporates standard paper machine components to thoroughly clean forming fabrics and, at the same time, eliminate mist that is often associated with high-pressure showering.
Mist in and around paper machines is a common occurrence impacting paper mill operations. This problem can lead to production loss due to extra clean-up time, sheet breaks, and poor sheet quality. In extreme cases, it can even be hazardous to operators.
Features
-
Reliable oscillating fresh-water or whitewater shower
-
Shroud captures and contains mist
-
HDPE and silicon nitride blades maintain precise gap
-
Vacuum box with mounting brackets for shower assembly
-
Low horsepower centrifugal exhauster
-
Air/water separator
-
Optional high-pressure pump and filter
Benefits
-
Cleaner fabric and mist-free, clean, safe environment
-
Less product loss and sheet breaks
-
Low energy consumption
-
Fines returned to whitewater system
-
Evenly-dry fabric exits the Mist Eliminator
-
Adaptable to any machine configuration
