Felt roll cleaning
Clean felt rolls, longer felt life
When felt rolls carry rust and corrosion, they damage the felts running over them and drive up your clothing spend. Radiant cleans felt rolls on-machine so the felts run over a clean surface and last longer.
Why felt rolls matter
The roll surface is in constant contact with expensive felts. Rust and corrosion on the roll transfer wear straight into the felt, shortening its life and hurting dewatering.
What Radiant does
Mechanical on-machine cleaning that restores the roll surface without acid or metal loss. If felt life is a concern, we can clean that problem up for you.
- Longer felt life and fewer felt changes
- Better, more consistent dewatering
- No acid, no metal loss
Why do felt rolls rust?
They run wet. Water, process chemistry, and long stretches between outages let rust and scale build on the roll shell, one shift at a time.
How does a rusty felt roll damage the felt?
A rough, corroded shell wears the felt from underneath and carries contamination into it. The felt fills and wears faster, dewatering suffers, and felt changes come sooner than planned.
When should felt rolls be cleaned?
During the outages you already have. Radiant cleans felt rolls in place, alongside dryer can cleaning, so one short window covers both. Every job is custom quoted from Elkton, MD.
