Machine Cleaning

To maintain a good quality paper and efficient operations, machinery must be kept clean. KAM Biotechnology has developed a series of biochemical products to clean each section of the machine without damaging the equipment. KAM's products are environmentally-friendly - safe for human, animal, vegetation and aquatic lives.

Remember, every time you clean the machine using toxic chemicals, all the residue goes down to your waste treatment plant resulting in a high shock of organic loading in the clarifier. KAM's products contain a variety of adapted bacterial cultures capable of utilizing chemical molecules as a carbon source to break down organics in the primary treatment phase.

Wastewater Treatments

Cellozyme 1000 HC

Cellozyme 1000 HC is an efficient, oil-solubilizing bio-surfactant that reacts with water and oil to form a homogeneous, clear solution by coupling action. Coupling oil and water is the optimum form of emulsification. It holds oil in a solution throughout the cleaning process and permits hosing off with fresh or salt water and eliminates residual oil problems. Cellozyme 1000 HC is mild, non-acid and safe for personnel to use, non-flammable, low foaming and non-toxic. Cellozyme 1000 HC conforms to all United States standards of biodegradability.

Cellozyme 5000

Cellozyme 5000 is a unique, salt-tolerant dehydrated microbial ecosystem, dispersible in water, that is capable of biologically decomposing various types of polyhalogenated organic compounds, including halogenated phenols, herbicides, insecticides, dioxin, PCB and similar type compounds, to ecologically acceptable end products that are non-toxic to the environment.

Cellozyme 4001

Cellozyme 4001 is a biological additive for breaking down paraffin and liquefying crude oil. Tank cleaning applications vary in complexity and type depending on a number of different parameters.

Product Evaluation & Development Services

At the KAM laboratory, your felt sample is first examined visually for machine wear, streaking or realignment of fibres that could indicate mechanical difficulties ranging from clogged spray nozzles to improperly leveled rollers.

Sample pieces are cut from the felt and each sample is then washed in a different KAM detergent. After washing, a series of tests are done to determine which detergent will do the best job.

One important aspect of paper making is keeping felts clean and absorbent. Properly operating felts maintain production speed and paper quality, eliminating blows, crushing, wet streaks, checking as well as picking.

To help you achieve and maintain optimum conditions, KAM analyzes your used felts and recommends a specific cleaning regime. If needed, we will develop a new product customized to your unique operational circumstances.

Our analysis of the used felts and testing of the effectiveness of various cleaning formulations includes the following:

• An absorbency test precisely determines which felt absorbs the most water in a given time, as an indication of the amount of soil removed from the fibre itself.
• A pre- and post-cleaning weight test measures the amount of soil removed with the various test cleaning formulas.
• Porosity and caliper tests compare the post-cleaning change of various formulas.

The test results and specific recommendations for a bio-formulated product, concentration, temperatures and time are sent to you.

Please contact us for more information about our many other customized services.
