Kingsley has always strived to provide equipment with options
to be easily maintained and to provide optimum performance
to your applications. With over 19 years manufacturing and
design experience with oscillating and stationary showers
for complete coverage wire and felt cleaning we know what
a shower needs to do. The Oscillating Cleaning Shower is
Kingsley’s primary product. We established and made
standard for the industry “Complete Coverage Cleaning”.
Utilizing this method of tracking the speed of the actuator
to the speed of the paper machine ensures that the entire
area of the fabric is cleaned.
The cleaning and conditioning of wires, felts and rolls
is of critical importance in paper manufacturing. Sufficient
dewatering and sheet formation can only be assured if wires,
felts and rolls are clean. Proper cleaning showers are necessary
to remove fibres and contaminants from the fabric during
operation to optimize fabric life. Showers are used for
fabric cleaning, sheet knock-off, trimming and lubrication.
In any showering system it is critical to maintain uniform
coverage and open flowing nozzles. Another consideration
in shower design should be that nozzles cannot fall into
the fabric run, creating major fabric fall/roll accident.
4 categories of showers –
a) High pressure (hp) cleaning showers,
b) Flooding showers,
c) Lubricating showers and
d) Chemical showers.
