Roll cleaner assemblies are comprised of a roll cleaning blade, blade holder, structural beam, brackets, and bearings along with an option to oscillate.

The VeriLite™ roll cleaner assembly is the first integrated roll cleaning assembly designed specifically for improving yield and safety in the production of synthetic fiber-based products. The VeriLite roll cleaner assembly is designed to fit the narrow tolerances present in synthetic fiber manufacturing. With the VeriLite roll cleaner assembly, fiber stretching operations are inherently safer because roll cleaning blades can be easily and quickly removed from the end.

A proper water resource recovery system can be essential for a variety of process industry applications, including the production of synthetic fibers.

Kadant manufactures water resource recovery strainers, such as the RotoFlex resource recovery strainer and gravity strainers, which assist with the filter, process and reclaiming of white water.

In roofing material manufacturing, the VeriLite™ and VeriKleen™ roll cleaner assemblies keep production rolls clean. The VeriLite roll cleaner assembly operates pneumatically for harsh environments, while the VeriKleen roll cleaner assembly uses a lever mechanism for durability. Both are suitable for wet, dry, and high-temperature environments, featuring lightweight construction, compact designs, and quick blade changes. This cleanliness prevents defects, improves efficiency, and reduces downtime.

Doctoring is an important part of tissue manufacturing with several functions such as creping, dewatering, removing contaminants from fabric and felt carrier rolls, and cleaning and conditioning the Yankee dryer.  

Proper operation and maintenance of Yankee doctors is critical to the health of the Yankee dryer roll. Penalties for neglecting this include chatter, frequent re-grinds, damaged metallization, and downtime.

A doctor with a creping blade holder such as the Conformatic™ AL is used to load the blade against the Yankee dryer.  Creping blade material options range from carbon steel to ceramic tip blades. A ceramic tip creping blade such as the CeraEdge™ is used in tissue production to add bulk, stretch, absorbency, and softness.

Cleaning and conditioning products, such as the M-clean™ system,  stationary and oscillating showers, electro-mechanical shower oscillators, and brush shower assemblies,   are designed to remove contaminants from fabrics, felts, belts, wires, and rolls in process industries including tissue. 

Common applications for cleaning and conditioning systems include forming fabric, press felts, and dryer screens, as well as  roll and doctor lubrication, conveyor and belt cleaning, product knock-off, drying cylinder cleaning, chemical cleaning, high-pressure belt press fabric and cylinder cleaning, drilled suction roll cleaning, and sludge press cleaning.

Filtration products, such as pressure filters and water resource recovery strainers, are used to remove contaminates from liquid in tissue manufacturing. A filtration system will contain a filter media which is used to separate unwanted particles from the substance being filtered. The filtration process can be intermittent or continuous providing high cleaning efficiency and easy maintenance. 

To maximize performance, filtration systems are chosen and designed for the application. Common applications include fresh water, process water recycling, dyes and additives, mechanical seal protection, chemicals, DAF filtrate, clear-leg save-all water, overflow cylinder vat water, vacuum pump seal water, felt hair removal from the press section, fiber recovery from u-drains, solids separation, thickening, fiber scalping, removal of sand from river and lake, water, cooling towers, pump protection, and spray nozzle protection.  

Kadant manufactures water resource recovery strainers, such as the RotoFlex™ resource recovery strainer and gravity strainers, which assist with the filtering process, and reclaiming of white water.

Filtration products, such as pressure filters and resource recovery strainers, play a vital role in the molded pulp industry by removing contaminants from process water. These systems use filter media to separate unwanted debris from the slurry, improving production efficiency while reducing maintenance needs.

The RotoFlex™  resource recovery strainer is designed to efficiently recover fibrous materials and address issues like clogged spray nozzles, dirty screens, and Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) violations. Reclaiming fibers and reusing water cuts operational costs and enhances machine performance. It seamlessly integrates into production lines to support both sustainability and efficiency goals.

Doctoring is an important part of the pulp and paper making process with several functions such as removing water and contaminants from the roll surface, cleaning and conditioning the roll surface, and sheet shedding during sheet breaks or threading operations.

A doctoring system consists of the doctor back (i.e., a beam), a doctor blade holder, a doctor blade, and components to mount the system to the machine’s framework. The doctor blade is the component that performs the functions of removing water, debris, and contaminants; cleaning and conditioning the roll surface, or shedding the sheet. Blades are wearing parts   and need to be replaced on a regular basis depending on the application.

Doctoring can prevent material from wrapping the roll surface. In applications where a continuous web of product is being produced such as paper, a web break can cause the material to wrap around the roll. Doctoring systems help direct the product, sheet, or web to the next section of the machine. There are also specialty doctoring applications like creping of the sheet, coating, and metering applications.

Cleaning and conditioning products, such as the M-clean™ system, spray nozzles, stationary and oscillating showers, electro-mechanical shower oscillators, and fabric brush assemblies, are designed to remove contaminants from fabrics, felts, belts, wires, and rolls in process industries including pulp and paper. 

Common applications for cleaning and conditioning systems include roll and doctor lubrication, conveyor and belt cleaning, product knock-off, drying cylinder cleaning, chemical cleaning, high-pressure belt press fabric and cylinder cleaning, drilled suction roll cleaning, and sludge press cleaning.

Forming refers to a process and a section of a paper machine. The forming section of a paper machine is where the first stage of building the mat of paper takes place. Water and fiber are presented from a nozzle referred to as the headbox onto a moving filter medium known as a forming fabric. 

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.

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 lithium-ion battery production. Our family of roll cleaning systems set the bar for roll cleaning and contaminant removal.

The VeriLite roll cleaner assembly is a versatile and effective solution for removing debris from calender rolls in the lithium-ion battery production process. It is uniquely suited for the of battery processing environment, and its continuous cleaning action helps to reduce downtime and expensive machine repairs.

The X-Tek roll cleaning blade is suitable for high-temperature applications with highly polished roll surfaces like those used in lithium-ion battery production. The blade includes polymeric and carbon fibers to provide effective cleaning while ensuring there is no damage to a roll surface.

The M-clean™ system is designed to effectively remove contaminants from wire belts, ensuring top-quality material production. It's tailored for use in the forming, saturating, and drying stages of fiberglass mat production. By addressing and eliminating contaminants on wire belts, it plays a pivotal role in maintaining the quality of fiberglass mats while minimizing production interruptions. This system reflects our dedication to improving production efficiency and mat quality.

In fiberglass mat production, roll cleaner assemblies, specifically the VeriLite™ roll cleaner assembly has the crucial task of keeping the production rolls clean. This attention to cleanliness is crucial because any contaminants on the rolls can lead to defects in the final fiberglass mats. The roll cleaner assembly’s efficiency simplifies the process and directly contributes to the overall quality of fiberglass mats.
