© 2019 Kadant Solutions Division Challenge A northeast U.S. mill was experiencing poor cleaning of the forming fabrics, drop-offs, and general hygiene problems on the wet-end of its 291” linerboard machine. As a result, machine speed was limited below desired performance. Solution Kadant provided three dual-sided Mist Eliminators for all top-wire formers. Each system included two vacuum boxes with internal HP showers and EMOTM III oscillators, GenesisTM auto brush rotators, air/water separators, vacuum blowers, new fabric guides and engineering services. A MegaFloTM backwash system was also provided to polish HP shower water. Results Fabric cleaning has dramatically improved with showers now able to operate at 400-450 psi.
