ProJet b.v. received an order from Cartiera Pirinoli, Roccavione (CN), Italy for 4 ProCleaners for the Forming Wires of their Board machine. The value of this order will not be disclosed. The ProCleaners are scheduled to be delivered late 2023 with commissioning in 2024.
Pirinoli justifies the investment purely based on reduction in water consumption: the ProCleaner use a single traversing head that cover the wires as fast as the existing conventional oscillating showers. The conventional HP Showers can be eliminated completely. Users of the ProCleaner achieve substantial water savings because the ProJet Cleaner uses only 1.3gpm (5.0 ltr/min) of water; a conventional shower consumes over 40gpm (100ltr/min)
ProCleaners for the Wire Section will provide the following enormous benefits:
– Water savings of up to 95%
– Electrical power savings up to 90%
– Improved dewatering capacity of the Wires
– Reduced number of sheet breaks, improved sheet quality
