HIGH-PRESSURE OSCILLATING SHOWERS

H igh-pressure oscillating showers VOT with an
electromechanical oscillation are used for high-pressure
cleaning of wires and felts in paper machines with clear water 5
under a pressure of 1,0 to 5,0 MPa.
This cleaning procedure brings a positive influence on the felt
and wire service life (keeping original properties of wires and 4
felts for optimal PM operation), quality of produced paper and
energy consumption.

Design 2
The high-pressure shower pipe is made of stainless steel in two 1
standard modifications:
w shower pipe Æ 57 mm
(mounting pitch up to 3.500 mm)
w shower pipe Æ 76 mm
(mounting pitch up to 5.500 mm) VOT with electromechanical oscillation

High pressure shower pipes are provided with nozzles with a
needle jet of 0,84 to 1,75 mm diameter. To provide optimal form
of cleaning, their max. distance from the wire or the felt should
not exceed 100 mm. Max. pitch of nozzles in connection with the
oscillator stroke should not exceed 125 mm. The standard It is also comprised of a blocking system and links to particular

rotation which causes very intensive washing without leaving any
uncleaned spots. The oscillator introduces a compact encased
device preventing water penetration into the working space. Its
outer parts are made of stainless steel. The retractable piston rod of
the oscillator is protected against coarse impurities by a collar. On
both sides the shower pipe is resting on rollers bedded in self-
lubricating bushing of stands. One of theses stands serves also as
an oscillator holder. Fitting dimensions of both stands are identical
allowing installation of the oscillator both on the drive side and on
the control side. The oscillator is connected with the shower pipe by
a sleeve.
