Kadant Web Systems has unveiled a product designed for cleaning the surface of paper dryers. The Dryer Cleaner device fits into conventional doctor blade holders and incorporates application-specific cleaning pads for cleaning and polishing the surface of paper drying cylinders.

The Dryer Cleaner device removes dryer surface contaminates such as dirt and scale that can lead to sheet quality defects and sheet breaks. In addition, removing contamination buildup improves heat transfer consistency across the dryer surface offering improved surface temperature uniformity in the cross-machine direction.

According to Mohan Jayaraman, R&D manager at Kadant Web Systems, “The Dryer Cleaner device allows buildup to be removed without special release coatings. And because the device is easily inserted into the existing doctor system, it is a cost-effective method for maintaining clean dryer surfaces with minimal effort.”
