A chemical solution spraying method for spraying a chemical solution onto a canvas K1 has a loop shape in a side view while reciprocating two nozzle devices S at the same speed along rail L extending in a width direction of canvas K1 with respect to canvas K1, in which time period Tc during which canvas K1 is in contact with wet paper X is 0.03 seconds or more, time period Tn required for nozzle devices S to each one-way move is 0.5 to 10 minutes, traveling speed Vp of canvas K1 is 500 m/min or more, length K of canvas K1 is 20 to 80 m, a number of times of contact N of any point on a surface of canvas K1 with wet paper X during time period Tn, time period Tn, traveling speed Vp, and length K satisfy a relationship of N=(Tn.Math.Vp)/K, under predetermined conditions.

A cleaning apparatus includes a cleaning roller configured to rotate about a first rotation axis to clean a component to which paper dust is attached, the cleaning roller having a first area and a second area that is adjacent to the first area in a direction along the first rotation axis and to which more paper dust is attached than to the first area, and a remover configured to rotate about a second rotation axis extending in a direction different from the first rotation axis and configured to come in contact with at least a portion of the second area to remove the paper dust from the second area.

A cleaning device, in particular for a suction roller, for a machine for producing or processing a fibrous web, includes a distribution line and a number of cleaning nozzles which can be supplied with a cleaning fluid via the distribution line. At least one cleaning nozzle, in particular all of the cleaning nozzles, are in the form of oscillating nozzles. A suction roller and a method for cleaning a suction roller are also provided.

[Problem] To provide a nozzle cap that hardly causes clogging in the nozzle hole even when used for a long time, a nozzle device having such a nozzle cap and a spraying method of a chemical solution. [Solution] The present invention relates to a nozzle cap 100 to be used for a nozzle device for spraying a chemical solution to wet paper, wire, felt, press rollers, dryer rollers, canvas or guide rollers in a paper machine, which is provided with: an air cap part 10 that is provided with a first base part 11 having a cylinder shape with a lid, with a nozzle hole 13 formed on the first base part 11; and a liquid cap part 20 that is provided with a second base part 21 having a disc-shape and a protruding part 22 that is formed on the second base part 21, and in this structure, a plurality of chemical solution spraying air holes 22b are formed on the second base part 21, and into a space part S formed between the first base part 11 and the second base part 21, with the first base part 11 and the second base part 21 being fitted to each other, a chemical solution is flowed from the protruding part 22, and air is also flowed in from the chemical solution spraying air holes 22b so that the chemical solution from the nozzle holes 13 is sprayed by the air, and the lid part 11a has a lower surface having a plane shape so that the air flowed in from the chemical solution spraying air holes 22b are made to collide with the lower surface of the lid part 11a through the space part S.

The disclosure relates to a continuous cleaning method for cleaning a moving fabric in a paper machine. The method uses one or more cleaning stages. In one embodiment, one cleaning stage applies steam to heat and soften contaminants on the fabric followed by the application of water, preferably superheated water, to remove the contaminants. Another cleaning stage may apply hot water, steam and/or superheated water via an encapsulated shower and evacuation chamber making it possible to clean the width of the fabric without substantial rewet.
