Dryer Fabric Cleaner

The dryer section of the paper machine depends heavily on steam, making efficient heat transfer essential for both energy savings and paper quality. Maintaining high permeability in the dryer fabric is critical to achieving this.

As recycled content in pulp increases, so does the challenge of managing stickies and plastic particles. The dryer felt cleaner effectively addresses this issue—helping maintain optimal fabric condition, reduce energy costs, and deliver a more consistent, high-quality final product.

Features | Dryer Fabric Cleaner

• The head uses a ring of medium-pressure water-jets to loosen dirt, fibers and stickies.
• Its patented system uses a non-contact positive air seal to capture water and contaminants from the fabric surface, with a carriage-mounted vortex ejector and cyclone separator for clog-free drainage of water and contaminants
• The cleaning pressure can be adjusted up to 6,500 PSI (450 bar) from the HMI
• From 6-12 nozzles per dryer fabric cleaner head, which can be configured for best results
• A head wash station for automatic washing and scrubbing after every pass

Advantages | Dryer Fabric Cleaner

• Removes fabric surface buildup and stickies to improve runnability and sheet quality
• Maintains a fabric permeability level of 90% of the as-measured permeability of a new fabric, significantly reducing drying energy consumption
• Overall installation cost is lower than most competitors

ROI

• Longer fabric lifespan
• Increased fabric permeability
• Lower energy costs
• Reduce or eliminate cleaning chemicals, associated labour hours and machine downtime
• Improved sheet quality with fewer defects and sheet breaks
