Key Benefits

• Durable Design
• Easy to Operate
• Versatile Applications
• Hands on Process Control

100% Stainless Steel
Cast iron and mild steel paper machine compo-nents have long been prone to corrosion caused by harsh operating conditions. The constant exposure to hot, wet environments, combined with chemicals such as sulfides from kraft fin-ishes or chlorides from the bleaching process, and a pH, which is usually high, combine to attack all parts of the paper machine. In the last ten years, these problems have gotten worse, as more and more mills close their whitewater systems, effectively concentrating chemicals in the whitewater.

Guides have always been ruggedly built, with epoxy painted cast iron construction and stainless steel inner components. Now the best guide in the industry is also the first to be avail-able in 100% stainless steel.

Durable Design
Fast, gentle response assures long wire or felt life. Anti-friction, needle type bearings are completely enclosed in specially formulated rubber dia-phragms that protect against water, dust, heat, stock and other contaminants. 100% stainless steel construction or two-part epoxy-painted cast iron construction with stainless steel hardware for long life.Easy to Operate
The Sandy Hill Guide is easy to install, simple to operate and requires minimum maintenance. Bearing arrangement ensures precise linear movement and response to very small changes from the controller. Additionally, the Sandy Hill Guide can be connected directly to the mills air supply.

Versatile Applications
Adaptable to most existing guide rolls, the Sandy Hill Guide can be installed horizontally, vertically or at any angle in-between. The Sandy Hill Guide can be interchangeable in both the wet environment of a forming section and the high heat of a dryer section. Machined vertical pads on the side of the guide' s center section can accept doctor-mounting brackets. The availability of two types of guides in seven different sizes makes it easy to fit the right guide in even the tightest space.

Hands on Process Control
The Sandy Hill Guide is specially designed for use with a wide range of automatic guide sizes and is also available in 100% stainless steel construction.

For easy access or when space is at a pre-mium, the Sandy Hill Guide can be mounted on top of their Hand Guides. The Hand Guide can also be mounted on the opposite side of the machine from the automatic guide, or even on a totally separate roll. The Sandy Hill Hand Guide completes the Sandy Hill Guiding System.
