Coldwater starts up PCA Dryer Passivation System at its Southwestern U.S. recycled mill

1 November 2016

Coldwater has sold and completed the start-up of another PCA Dryer Passivation System at its recycled mill in the Southwest U.S., as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

The innovative PCA Dryer Passivation System has been installed on a 4.5 meter (176 inch) wide recycled paperboard machine that was experiencing significant build-up in the first section of dryers, especially on the dryer fabric and felt return rolls, which resulted in unscheduled downtime for cleaning.

Coldwater’s PCA Dryer Passivation System was installed on an existing doctor blade holder (but can be mounted separately if needed) and includes a Kevlar application wick that applies a continuous and uniform metering of Coldwater’s PolyClean passivation agent to both the dryer cylinders and dryer fabrics.

The PolyClean passivation agent prevents stickies from forming on the dryer surface and is transferred to additional dryers downstream keeping those dryers clean as well. After installation of the PCA System, the mill’s first dryer section now runs clean with no dust build-up and no build-up on the felt rolls or the dryer fabric. This has resulted in reduced picking and increased up-time with no required batch cleaning.

Coldwater provides reliable innovations in engineered consumables, and unique optimization products and services, to the global pulp and paper industry.
