The eXpert Squeezer-F utilizes a conventional roll arrangement featuring a 190mm diameter squeeze roll, 200mm diameter master roll and a 180mm diameter immersion roll. The size box features clean lines with no arms, levers or bearings exposed and all roll journals extend through the frame before being supported. All mechanicals are located outside the integral frame and are covered with guards. Insulated size pan made from type 304SS with an 80 liter capacity. Maximum squeeze roll loading 1500 kg. Overflow weir for precise level control empties into a 100 liter size reservoir tank made from 304SS, insulated with double jacket, close coil steam heated with pump, temperature and level controlled, 100 mesh screen filter. A spray bar is located above the squeeze roll to eliminate hard size marks and provide size to the nip when stopped. A two (2) roll positive driven dry feed roll assembly is mounted at the entrance of the box and will be driven by a tension controlled AC motor using feedback from the entering load cell guide roll.
