Double Doctoring Systems

Double Doctoring Systems
A double doctor system provides the extra performance of two independently adjustable doctor blades within one unit and is ideal for aiding in water removal from surfaces.

Couch Roll Double Doctor Blade

The couch roll double doctor blade is dedicated to effectively removing surface water and debris build-up on the couch roll. The couch roll double doctor blade first removes the initial layer of surface water, creating a vacuum on the underside of the blade. This vacuum extracts the debris and fillers from the couch roll holes, bringing them to the surface. The second doctor then removes the remaining surface water, fines and fillers, sending a clean roll back to the nip.

Suction Pressure Roll Double Doctor Blade

The suction pressure roll double doctor blade is specially designed for dewatering suction pressure rolls in tissue making applications.

  • What’s the difference between a roll cleaner assembly and a roll polisher?

    A roll cleaner assembly is a system including the blade, blade holder, and components used to scrape, flake, or clean material from a roll’s surface. A roll polisher generally uses a pad to clean and condition a porous roll surface.

  • What type of roll cleaning blades are used in a roll cleaner assembly?

    It depends on many factors including application, roll surface, desired result, and environment. A Kadant blade expert will work with you to determine the best type of roll cleaning blade for your process goals.

FAQ

  • What is the difference between a VeriKleen roll cleaner assembly and a VeriLite roll cleaner assembly?

    The VeriKleen roll cleaner assembly is loaded by air cylinders or a manual loading device and is more suitable for harsher environments where contaminants could limit the VeriLite roll cleaner assembly’s effectiveness.

    The VeriLite is more compact than the VeriKleen.  The VeriLite utilizes custom air tubes to pivot the VeriLite top plate with blade to and from the roll cleaning surface.  The VeriLite structure is fixed in position while the blade or cleaning pad is engaged to the cleaning surface.  The VeriKleen structure has an integrated blade cavity and the VeriKleen body itself is rotated to and from the roll cleaning surface by means of loading mechanisms such as an air cylinder or pressure rig assembly. 

  • How long does it take to change a roll cleaning blade from a VeriKleen roll cleaner assembly?

    The VeriKleen roll cleaner assembly is designed to incorporate a free-floating roll cleaning blade that can easily be slid out of the assembly in a matter of seconds. No tools are required to remove the roll cleaning blade, and the special hardware on the blade or pad is designed to easily slide in and out of the holder. 

  • Can the VeriKleen roll cleaner assembly oscillate?

    Yes, using the Varimatic™ 500 oscillator. Oscillation provides a secondary cutting action and can make roll cleaning more effective along with minimizing blade wear, vibration and roll damage.

Stock Approach Systems

octopus stock approach system

The Octopus™ stock approach system is a radial-type distributor that supplies forming devices (vats, hydraulic formers or headboxes) with uniform paper machine profiles across the width of the machine without the need for header balancing by recirculation.

When equipped with consistency profiling ability, the Octopus stock approach system allows the control of CD basis weight profile while paper machines are operating. The profile management tool permits the papermaker to minimize variations, improve sheet properties, and increase profitability.

Features

  • All wetted parts are stainless steel

  • Automatic air pad pressure compensation control

  • Optional CD consistency profiling

  • Applicable to headboxes, hydraulic formers, and vats

Benefits

  • Provides uniform CD flow/basis weight management

  • Does not require operator to balance unit in response to flow changes

  • Dampens pressure pulsation

  • Reduces entrained air

  • Reduces fiber floc size

  • Minimize variation

  • Improve sheet properties

  • Increase profitability

FAQ

  • What makes the Octopus stock approach system different from other systems?

    The Octopus stock approach system contains radial distribution and pressure pulse attenuator all in one unit. Other systems only have one of these features. Using the Octopus stock approach system leads to a much flatter profile across the paper sheet because the radial distributor and pressure pulse attenuator work together.

  • What is the ROI for an Octopus stock approach system?

    All applications and systems are unique, but typically, an Octopus stock approach system reaches a return on investment in less than one year.

Drainage Structures
