Gyroclean Cleaner

 

The Gyroclean cleaner efficiently eliminate impurities using a patented device based on technology licensed from CTP. The basic operation involves a high speed-rotating cylinder. The stock is introduced into this cylinder and accelerated in rotation by the inlet head. The pulp peripheral tangential speed is higher than the speed of the cylinder to optimize the turbulence level to ease the passage of light contaminants towards the axis of the cylinder. The accepts are extracted at the opposite end by a second rotating head that also recovers the main part of the kinetic energy imparted by the inlet head. Lightweight contaminants migrate to the vortex core and are extracted through a central pipe.

 

Applications

  • Wood pulp: removal of plastic beads
  • Annual plant pulp: removal of polypropylene beads and wires, e.g., bagasse, cotton linters
  • Waste paper pulp: removal of stickies, plastic beads, polystyrene, polyethylene films, some adhesives, hot-melt fragments, waxes
  • Deinked pulp for newsprint, printing and writing, tissue
  • Approach flow: fine grades, currency paper, coating base, etc…

 

Features and Benefits

  • Highly-effective lightweight stickies removal
  • High centrifugal force enables optimized separation of light contaminants three times greater than a conventional reverse cleaner
  • High retention time (more than four times higher than a reverse cleaner)
  • One stage system
  • Significant energy savings
  • No fiber losses
  • Virtually no effluent or filtrate water to be treated
