Water Management, Cleaning & Filtration

 

Kadant cleaning & filtration systems optimize mill process water use to help reduce operating costs and achieve compliance with environmental requirements. Our integrated systems are used to drain water from the sheet during formation, filter whitewater, and reuse water for cleaning and conditioning of paper machine clothing.

 

Fabric Cleaning and Conditioning Systems

Sheet Formation Systems

Cleaning and conditioning systems include a variety of low- and high-pressure showering assemblies to clean paper machine clothing for maximum productivity.

 An integrated system of drainage elements and vacuum systems used to remove water from the slurry and form the fiber into a solid web prior to entering the press section.

 

Water Filtration Systems

Wear Surfaces Products

Kadant filtration systems include pressure filters to remove very fine dirt particles that may clog shower nozzles while gravity filters and vacuum-assisted strainers remove larger impurities from the water for reuse in the process.

 Polyethylene and ceremic products including foil blades, multi-slot covers, uhle box covers, etc. ensure low drag loads while minimizing wear on paper machine fabrics.


Water & Conservation Energy Audits

Water and energy conservation audits provide a comprehensive assessment with insights and recommendations to improve whitewater system operations.
