XTREME™ and XX-CLONE™ Cleaners to remove wax and light contaminants

Dong Guan Nine Dragons Industries Co. Ltd., Dong Guan City, PR China, have added two Thermo Black Clawson XTREME™ and XX-Clone™ cleaning systems to their 1100 T/D AOCC system. The AOCC system, originally supplied by Valmet, will have improved efficiency and the ability to remove wax and light contaminants with the addition of the XTREME/XX-Clone systems. One cleaning system will process 411 MT/D Long Fiber OCC, the other will process 400 MT/D Short Fiber OCC.

Thermo Black Clawson's XTREME Cleaners employ the latest reverse cleaning technology to remove lightweight debris from all types of pulp and paper stock. Coupled with the advanced design through-flow cleaner in the tailing position, the XX-Clone, only two stages are needed to minimize fiber loss and maximize removal efficiency.

Dong Guan Nine Dragons produces 400,000 TPY of linerboard.
