Machine Surface Cleaning Solutions
Maintaining clean surfaces of papermaking equipment is critical to operating a machine without defects and breaks. The wet end of a paper machine is prone to scale, biological slimes, process additives, and stock buildup. The dryer section can accumulate a buildup of stickies, grease, oils, and paper dust, creating flammability hazards. Coaters and size presses must also be clean to avoid sheet defects and breaks.
In this area safety and efficacy are paramount. Often machine cleaning can be achieved while production is on-going with gel cleaners. These cleaners used dyed gel agents for superior cling, residence time and clean hard to get areas.
Cleaning the dry end requires Ultra High Flash point (>400 deg F) cleaners to ensure safety on hot, exposed surfaces. TriSolve can customize a formulation specifically for your selection of soils.
Degreasing
Degreasing in the paper mill is a critical activity directed at improving safety (slips, trips and falls) and for leaving equipment in clean condition to allow routine maintenance and repairs.
Our degreasers are fully plant based, with the industries best safety profiles. These materials work on light to heavy machine organic materials and leave surfaces clean and free of debris.
Machine and Frame Cleaning
The cleaning of the paper machine wet end is a necessary step during shutdowns. The removal of microbiological slime, stock, scale and other paper machine deposits needs to be thorough to allow safe and effective routine maintenance and inspections of operating equipment.
Foam, liquid and gel cleaning with suitable chemistry is important to minimize time and expense during the shutdown. Our materials are safe, odor free and allow people to work in the area while the machine is being cleaned.
Pulp Mill Cleaning
The pulp mill has its own challenge with deposition. The collection of spent liquors, scales formed by alkaline conditions and hard water and other issues dominate in this area.
Our plant-based cleaners act quickly and thoroughly on the hard scales, complex organic matrices and can be applied in a safe and effective manner. Rapid and through deposit removal with safe chemistries makes this an ideal application area to take advantage of TriSolve technology.
