Filtration of water before use by trim squirts is vital to prevent plugging of nozzles that could ultimately result in a paper break, damage to the nozzles or paper machine, or an off-quality product.
A filter installed to protect trim squirts must satisfy three requirements:
1) provide sufficient screen area to handle the
required flow
2) remove those contaminants that might plug the
nozzles
3) be easy to clean so minimum operator attention
and downtime are required
Because of irregular surfaces of pipe walls and loss
of water velocity tend to destroy the dispersion of the suspended solids in the water, it is always important to install the filter immediately before the water's point
of use.
For trim squirts, we typically recommend the AFR-Series Backwashing Pressure Filter System or the MAX-LOAD Cartridge Filter System.
