ProJet successfully starts up HP shower at Aktül Kagit, Turkey

ProJet has completed the successful start-up of its 500th Pro Cleaner Felt Cleaning system, this time at Aktül Kagit’s, tissue machine, TM1 in Turkey. The Pro Cleaner Type F (Forming Fabrics) and Type P (Press Felts) use a traversing cleaning head that contains 21 nozzles. With a cleaning pressure of max. 200bar (3,000psi) and a cleaning width of 200mm (8”) almost three times the cleaning area is covered in the same amount of time as conventional oscillating showers.

Furthermore, the Pro Cleaner delivers the following operational and performance benefits:

> Substantial cleaning water savings (= operational cost reduction + improved profitability): the Pro Cleaner provides superior cleaning performance, while only consuming 1.3gpm (5.0 liter/min) of water. A conventional oscillating shower consumes over 100gpm of water, leading to substantial more electrical power and waste water treatment costs.

> Water mist elimination is achieved by the application of air knives that contain water mist and contamination, which is discharged through Venturi tubes and finally into a save all pan.

> Targeted cleaning enables an operator to control the Cleaner for not only overall CD fabric/felt cleaning but to also apply targeted zone/strip or edge cleaning.
