FOR CONVERTING OPERATIONS- TECHNOLOGY THAT DELIVERS

If your plant converts paper or other materials, there is probably a substantial

investment within your facility in high-speed slitters, sheeters, coaters or
laminators. To maximize productivity and profitability, you need material that
is free of contamination and surface defects. Yet these processes can create
and attract contaminants, as well as potentially suffer from deficiencies
in surface integrity.

Whether your company works with coated or uncoated papers, newsprint,
boxboard, corrugated, film, foil, plastic, non-wovens, textiles or metals,
Doyle Multimodal Web Cleaning Systems virtually eliminate downtime
and waste due to dust and contaminants impeding the process. If your
customers are seeing defects in the products your company is providing
to them, chances are your operations are experiencing loss of materials
and downtime in efforts to minimize these defects. Dust and contaminants
as components of these defects results in higher costs for unnecessary clean
ups and reduced productivity. By installing Doyle Web Cleaning Systems, downtime, cleaning material usage and stock waste is reduced immediately.
Quality visibly improves. Scheduling falls into place. Reworks are scrapped.
Your customers are happier. And your business is more profitable.

For some substrates and applications where contaminant particle sizes go below visible level to the sub-micron range and
the cleaning requirements are nearly one hundred percent, a more appropriate solution may be Doyle's Contact Roll Web Cleaners. These machines incorporate usually one or more substrate driven elastomer particle transfer rollers that remove the debris and passes it to an adhesive coated contamination trap roll. After some time period, the trap roll is removed and the top dirty layer is stripped away and discarded to allow for further collection of debris.
This technology is best used where contamination is very small, volumes are minimal, substrate
speeds are low and/or the material being cleaned is of thin gauge or is scratch sensitive.

For applications where contamination levels of dust and debris are higher or production demands
do not allow for interruptions, Doyle offers a full line of fully automated Contact Roll Cleaning
Systems. This advanced technology allows cleaning of substrates on a continuous basis without
stopping to service the equipment. The particle trap rolls are cleaned on the machine without
interrupting production, thus avoiding costly downtime. This technology also eliminates the need
for adhesive trap rolls and their high residual cost. Either technology can also be combined with the Doyle multimodal
vacuum technology as a Hybrid approach on substrates that are not scratch sensitive and have larger volumes of
debris when a nearly 100% pristine cleaned surface is desired.

Quality control assessments become more effective by implementing LandSco Surface Inspection Lights to detect
contamination and defects in materials. LandSco Inspection Lights provide a means to illuminate, highlight and appear to magnify surface characteristics of substrates. The LandSco Light broadcasts a flat, low angled and concentrated beam of light across a substrate that creates a contrasting view of the surface properties of the material being inspected. Defects
can be quickly identified and corrected to eliminate costs associated with stock waste, product rejection and production rework. Converting operations benefit from detection of defects and contamination through the improved visual inspection provided by these lights. Cost and waste will be minimized by capturing these factors at the earliest stage possiblein the production process.
