MTR Martco, Middletown,OH, has introduced unique high density centrifugal cleaners to its line of stock prep equipment. The product complements their complete line of stock prep equipment including pulpers, detrashing systems and screening equipment. Installation of the cleaners reduces wear on the screens by removing pebbles, staples, grit, metal and other heavy contaminants from the stock.

These cleaners are typically installed ahead of coarse and fine screens to remove heavy contaminants with minimum fiber loss. The paper stock slurry enters the centrifugal cleaner and heavy rejects fall to a trap for removal. Cleaners can be operated continually at up to 4% consistency either as a manual or automatic operation. These units can also be installed in front of refiners to reduce plate wear.

MTR Martco has a unique design using ceramic linings combined with heat-treated 410 stainless steel fabrications and castings giving excellent wear life. Duco Scavenger valves with hardened seats are used for the reject chamber offering reliable service and performance.
