Auto Cleaning System for Washers
An automatic high-pressure spray cleaning system mounted on the outside of the washer drum — continuously flushing the filter plate surface to prevent screen-hole blockage and keep drum drainage capacity.
Product Overview
The Auto Cleaning System for Washers mounts a high-pressure spray pipe spanning the full drum face on the outside of the washer drum. Driven by a motor, the pipe travels axially back and forth while fan nozzles continuously flush the drum filter plate (screen) surface, knocking attached fibres and contaminants off the face, preventing screen-hole blockage and keeping filter-plate permeability and drum drainage capacity.
The system starts and stops automatically, interlocked with washer operation, and cleans on cycle without stopping the machine or manual cleaning. Stainless-steel piping and frame stand up to the corrosive, humid washer environment — suitable for vacuum drum washers, twin-roll press washers, DD washers and other washer types.
Key Component
Electric-Driven Spray Beam
The electric drive unit mounted at the end of the spray beam moves the full-width high-pressure spray pipe axially back and forth, cleaning the washer drum filter plate (screen) across the entire face uniformly with no dead zones.
- Electric drive unit — a motor with gear transmission drives the spray pipe across the full face; travel and speed are stable and controllable
- Full-face cleaning — the spray pipe spans the drum face; one traverse cleans the whole width with no dead zones
- IP66 protection — dust-tight and water-jet protected, built for the humid washer plant environment
- DCS interlock — connected to the mill DCS; starts, stops and cycles interlocked with washer operation
Technical Highlights
System Features
The spray pipe spans the full drum face and, with the travel mechanism, covers the entire surface uniformly — no cleaning dead zones.
The pipe travels axially and automatically; cleaning trajectory is uniform and controllable, nozzle layout customizable to face width.
High-pressure water flushes fibres and contaminants out of the filter-plate holes, keeping plate permeability, vat pressure and drainage efficiency stable.
Interlocked with washer operation, cleaning on cycle — no machine stops, no manual cleaning, less labour.
Stainless piping and frame resist corrosion and humidity in the washing plant environment.
For drum cleaning of vacuum drum washers, twin-roll press washers, DD washers and other washer types.
