Frequently Asked Questions

Cleaners (also known as hydrocyclones or centrifugal cleaners) are used to remove contaminants such as sand, metal, plastic, and dirt from pulp. They help improve pulp purity and protect downstream equipment from damage.
Pulp cleaners work using centrifugal force. The pulp slurry enters the cleaner tangentially, creating a vortex that separates heavier contaminants from lighter fibers. The unwanted particles are discharged separately, while clean pulp continues through the process.
Common types include high-density cleaners (for removing heavy debris like metal and sand), low-density or reverse cleaners (for removing light contaminants like plastics and stickies), and forward cleaners for general applications.
Cleaners are essential for maintaining pulp quality by removing impurities that can affect paper strength, appearance, and machine performance. They also reduce wear, prevent clogging, and improve overall production efficiency.
