Abstract
A tension leveler roll cleaning system which is incorporated in a tension leveler of a type having a work roll supported by backup rolls and includes a payout stand, a takeup stand, and a strip of fabric media which is guided about the backup rolls. The payout stand preferably is positioned upstream of the backup rolls and the takeup stand downstream of the backup rolls. The strip of fabric media extends between the payout stand and takeup stand, and is held against arcuate portions of the backup rolls by spacer plates which extend between the bearing plates supporting the work and backup rolls. The takeup stand includes a hydraulic motor which is actuated to recoil the strip material and draw it from the payout stand about the backup rolls. The strip material is mounted in coiled form on the payout stand and is recoiled into a coil for efficient disposal. In a preferred embodiment, the system includes a solvent delivery component which consists of a spray manifold, supplied by a source of solvent under pressure for depositing solvent on the media. Preferred solvents are kerosene, petroleum hydrocarbon and petroleum naphtha.
