Hydrapulpers are designed for your specific application and are based upon furnish, capacity and operational needs. Proven in a variety of applications and on a wide range of furnishes, the DR Series features our innovative “D-style” tub for improved bale submersion and a raised rotor design for better debris handling and longer rotor life.
Preferred by operators across the globe for its’ continuous operation and system stability, this energy efficient pulping system removes contaminants intact for easy disposal. High trash levels are handled in stride regardless of input rate.
This pulping system offers increased efficiency in high consistency applications and allows baled furnish to be fed directly into the pulper, eliminating the need for expensive unbaling machines and conveyor systems. It offers superior ink dispersion and low contaminant attrition for very efficient pulp processing.
Kadant Black Clawson introduces the Vortech, the newest generation in performance pulper rotors. Utilizing our industry-leading key face angle and lift features and developed through the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics and rigorous testing, the Vortech includes new design features making it quit simply the very best-in-class.
The HydraFlow Continuous Detrashing System is a durable detrashing system producing constant output of low-density, light-weight rejects.
An integral part of the Hydraflow Continuous Detrashing System, this high-pressure unit efficiently moves rejects onward for further processing. Its’ small footprint is prefect for installation into tight locations.
The Continuous Scavenger removes both lightweight contaminants and heavy trash from continuous pulpers. The Scavenger, which can replace most existing junkers, also provides additional defibering and washes useable fiber from the extracted contaminants.
This non-vibrating, low attrition tailing screen removes coarse debris and recovers water from reject loop. This rugged workhorse maximizes stock recovery and dewatering of light rejects and is excellent for both batch and continuous operation.
The grapple hoist effectively removes waste material from the pulper junk tower. Constructed to provide superior performance and long service life, the grapple features individually driven tines and a rugged rotator for optimum adaptation to handling a variety of materials.
The stainless steel trashwell is available in 4-feet or 6-feet diameters.
The Ragger is designed to remove trash that results from slushing secondary fiber furnishes – snagging sheet plastic, rags, wet strength paper, and other light trash normally encountered in waste paper furnish.
A double cylinder guillotine design with a replaceable hardened steel knife blade and anvil used to chop the rag rope into shorter sections for easier disposal. It is furnished complete with a hydraulic system that includes a 15 HP motor and pump capable of developing 3,000 PSI pressure.
The STR valve is severe-duty stainless steel knife gate valve for use with our Liquid Cyclone Cleaner and in other high and medium density cleaning and detrashing systems such as our Hydraflow. Their rugged construction makes quick work of high concentration contaminants such as glass, sand, staples, nuts, bolts and other hard debris.
