Kadant products are used in the manufacturing processes of finished roll roofing and roofing shingle products. Kadant’s latest scraper and roll cleaning technologies increase process efficiency, reduce energy costs, and enhance productivity. Scrapers and roll cleaner assemblies prevent debris buildup on production rolls, ensuring smooth operation and reducing downtime.
Roll Cleaner Assemblies
Roll cleaner assemblies are comprised of a scraper or roll cleaning blade, blade holder, structural beam, brackets, and bearings along with an option to oscillate. In roofing shingle manufacturing, scrapers and roll cleaner assemblies are used in the cooling section, turn down roll, laminator section, coater section, sand drum, and slate drums to prevent defects, improve efficiency, and reduce downtime.
Roll cleaner assemblies and scrapers such as the VeriLite™ and VeriKleen™, along with blade holders including the AccuChange™, AccuClean™, and AccuFlake PRO™ are designed specifically for roofing material manufacturing. These systems provide a compact footprint, improved operator safety, and easier blade changes to support efficient roll cleaning and maintenance.
To further enhance roll cleaning performance, Kadant offers the VeriFlex™ oscillation system for the VeriLite roll cleaner assembly and the Varimatic™ oscillator for blade holders. Oscillator systems move the scraper blade across the roll surface in the cross machine direction to enhance the effectiveness of the blade cleaning and reduce buildup.
