Filar Fijalkowscy Spolka Jawna, a company located in Sadlno, Gmina Wierzbinek region of Poland, has decided to enter the high quality Tissue paper market and is thus making a major investment in its facilities, including a complete new Tissue Machine supplied by Hergen. Start-up is scheduled for later this year.


Yankee Cylinder has just been dispatched from Hergen.


Steel Yankee Dryer

Diameter: 3.660 mm

Ribbed internal surface

Welded heads






High performance with energy saving


Paper production consumes a lot of energy. In a Tissue paper machine, the drying process is responsible for about 70% of the machine's energy consumption. This means that a more efficient drying system results directly in significant energy savings.

Hergen Yankee Dryers are made of Steel. Due to the mechanical properties of this material, its thickness can be significantly less than the ones made of Cast Iron, increasing the heat transfer by up to 35%, resulting in lower energy consumption for the same production.


Hergen quality

NO rupture risk due construction in carbon steel

Increase production: HIGHER HEAT TRANSFER UP TO 35% AS COMPARED WITH CAST IRON CYLINDERS resulting in higher paper evaporation ratio

Innovative condensate extraction system

Higher reliability with no risk inherent to the casting process, such as porosities or discontinuities

Two construction options for Head Covers: mounted with capscrew or welded to the cylinder shell

Metal surface with high hardness resulting in better creping quality

Excellent temperature profile

Steel plate material allows cylinders construction with any required diameter

Easy transportation: journals may be transported disassembled thus reducing the maximum load height
