ProCleaners for Forming Fabrics and Press Felts:


Clean Forming Fabrics and Press Felts, with consistently high permeability and dewatering capabilities, delivers important productivity and performance advantages. Better dewatering in the Forming and Press Section leads substantial improvement in dryness level when the sheet leaves the Press Section. Press Felts loose dewatering ability due to the increasing use of secondary fibres, recycling of coated broke, increasing use of sheet fillers, an increased use of recycled mill water supplies, and the increased use of process chemicals. The ProJet system consumes very little water, compressed air, and very little electrical energy. 

Advantages of a ProCleaner system over a conventional shower:

The ProCleaner for Forming Fabrics and Press Felt uses a single oscillating cleaning head that traverses back and forth over the entire felt width. This provides important advantages over a conventional shower:

  • Much lower water consumption, up to 95%
  • Strip cleaning, zone cleaning and edge cleaning
  • No more dirty streaks caused by plugged nozzles, because all nozzles cover the entire fabric width, instead of only one nozzle covering a certain area
  • Different nozzle angles: enhanced cleaning
  • Park position outside machine: possible nozzle change during production & automatic self cleaning
