Roll Scrubber
The roll scrubber is designed to address the build up of contaminates on steel rolls. These contaminates can increase the RA values of the roll, which can have an adverse effects on high quality paper parameters such as gloss, and smoothness. Once contaminated, rolls must be ground to bring them back to the optimum RA values.
Features
- Continuously cleans and conditions roll surface
- Integrated vacuum system is an option for removing contaminants
- Custom designed for each roll size and geometry
- Oscillates for improved cleaning
- Application specific polishing pads
- Replaceable cleaning pads
Benefits
- Maintains RA values
- Optimizes gloss and smoothness
- Extends roll life - decreases roll grinds
- Enhanced sheet smoothness and gloss
Applications
- Steel super calender rolls
- Machine calender rolls
- Dryers after coater or size press
The roll scrubber is designed for continuous use with uniform pressure over the entire roll face. Each unit is custom designed for each roll application. After installation and positioning, no manual adjustment is needed. The cleaning pad is pivoted onto the roll with airbags that act to cushion the unit. Oscillation enhances the cleaning effect.
