  • Patent number: 6282744
    Abstract: A contact cleaner roll cleaning system including a frame to support the system relative to a movable web having a first major surface and a second major surface on opposite sides of the web, at least a first rotatable contact cleaner roll supported on the frame disposed for rolling contact with the first major surface, an activatable web transporting device adapted to transport or interrupt the transport of the web past the first rotatable contact cleaner roll, and a first indexing device adapted to roll the first rotatable contact cleaner roll against the first major surface in a first direction while the transport of the web past the first rotatable contact cleaner roll is interrupted. This system is used to clean coated and uncoated webs.

  • Patent number: 6162303
    Abstract: A process for cleaning a web having a first major surface and a second major surface on opposite sides of the web, the process including transporting the web while maintaining at least a first rotatable contact cleaner roll in rolling contact with the first major surface to clean the first major surface; interrupting the transporting of the web; rolling the first rotatable contact cleaner roll against the first major surface in at least a first direction while the transport of the web remains interrupted; and rolling the first rotatable contact cleaner roll against the first major surface in the opposite direction while transport of the web remains interrupted.
