Doctoring

Doctoring? Roll cleaning? Scraping? Flaking? Continuous belt cleaning? These are terms for a similar process used differently depending on the industry, but the product’s purpose is the same–to clean or remove contaminants from a roll surface. A doctor blade, roll cleaning blade, scraper blade, or flaker blade is any material in stick form that is run against a roll and is used to keep the roll clean. Materials can be just about anything like composite, metal, or plastic.

FAQ

  • How do I get the most out of my doctor or roll cleaning blades?

    1. Make inspecting blade and holder conditions a part of your maintenance routine.
    2. Change blades any time the machine is down for cleaning.
    3. Change the blade immediately any time there may be damage to the blade.
    4. Use a blade change indicator at the beginning of each blade change.
    5. Keep an inventory of commonly used blades to reduce downtime.

  • What happens when a doctor or roll cleaning blade wears?

    As a blade wears into the roll, the area of the blade contact increases. Even though loading pressure remains unchanged, actual transmitted blade pressure decreases due to the surface contact area getting larger. Increasing loading pressure with a worn blade will greatly reduce the efficiency of the system and may allow material to pass under the blade and wrap the roll due to the additional deflection of the blade.

  • How do I know if oscillating a doctoring or roll cleaning system is right for my process?

    If your process could benefit from better roll cleaning action, extended blade and roll life, increased sheet quality, and less chatter and dwell of the roll cleaning structure, an oscillating doctor system could be a significant advantage for your application.  

  • Do I need to use Kadant doctor or roll cleaning blades in a Kadant doctor or roll cleaning holder?

    Yes. Kadant has a genuine parts program backed by our technical blade experts. The Kadant genuine parts program focuses on employee safety, operating performance, and return on investment. Using Kadant blades is the only way to ensure the highest product quality and that integrity is maintained when using Kadant doctor holders.

Tissue

fiberglass mat prcessing

Kadant products and services play a critical role from beginning to end of the tissue machine by enhancing efficiency and product quality. These technologies include creping, doctoring, de-watering, fabric cleaning and conditioning, and filtration products, and the Yankee Safe™ program. Our technologies and services improve product quality, reduce energy and water consumption, improve long-term sustainability and keep the Yankee dryer safe.

Doctoring

Doctoring Yankee Doctor Serviceis 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 & Conditioning

m clean proCleaning 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.

FAQ

  • What causes chatter on a Yankee cylinder?

    Chatter on a Yankee is a result of multiple process and mechanical issues in the manufacturing of tissue that cause the doctor blade to skip or flex, and eventually bounce on the dryer surface digging into the metal and leaving chatter marks. A robust doctor assembly customized for the application and properly set up and maintained can greatly reduce the risk of chatter. Using the correct doctor blade for the application is another way to reduce chatter risk.

  • How can I avoid sheet holes in my process?

    Unfortunately, some sheet holes are caused by stickies and pitches that adhere to the forming fabrics during the tissue making process. Often these contaminants cannot be removed with a full-width shower that remains in a set position, so using an M-clean™ system with a modular design provides flexibility in a fabric cleaning process for your application.

  • How can I save water in my tissue making process?

    There are several ways to improve water consumption in your process. When starting a water system optimization project it’s important to measure the mill’s input and output at the start of the project. To learn more about where to look for water savings read, “Best Practices for Tissue Mill Whitewater Reuse.”

Pulp and Paper

pulp and paper

Kadant products play a critical role from beginning to end of the paper machine by enhancing process efficiency and product quality. Kadant doctoring, de-watering, formation, fabric cleaning and conditioning, and filtration, products, technologies, and services enhance sheet properties, reduce energy and water consumption, and improve long-term sustainability.

Doctoring

Doctoring double doctor systemis 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 & Conditioning

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. 

Forming

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.
