FAQ

Our roll temperature is very hot, are there suitable roll cleaning blades available?

Yes. There are roll cleaning blade materials available with high temperature resins capable of being used in temperatures as high as 570°F (299°C).

Will the roll cleaning blade damage the roll material?

Choosing the right type of fibers and resin is key when selecting the roll cleaning blade. Usually, carbon fiber is used as a tough, wear resistant material but will be gentle and ensure that the roll surface roughness is maintained. Additionally, there are a series of roll conditioning pads available with the EzKleen™ V roll cleaner assembly that can further enhance roll conditioning.

Is there a benefit to oscillating the VeriLite roll cleaner assembly?

Yes. Oscillation can improve the roll cleaning process. The movement of the blade tip provides a secondary cleaning action and ensures that debris does not embed into the blade tip, which could groove or score the roll surface.
