The Gyroclean rotary cleaner employs centrifugal force to separate acceptable fibers from lighter contaminants such as polystyrene, polypropylene, stickies and hot-melts. Stock is guided into cylindrical stainless steel body which is rotating at a high speed creating 700 GS of centrifugal force. The inlet head drives the stock to the periphery of the vortex created by the rotation of the shell.

Acceptable fibers are forced to the edges of the shell, while the lighter contaminants are separated from the fibers and move to the low pressure zone in the center of the shell. This same action also removes air from the slurry. The rejects and the air are removed through a centrally located axial outlet tube. The acceptable fibers flow from the shell wall through divergent channels.

This rotary cleaner is suitable for applications for deinking, OCC and mixed waster, virgin pulp, and approach flow.
