Copapa, TM3
Santo Antônio de Pádua - RJ
On May 5, we shipped the Yankee Cylinder, which will be installed on Copapa's MP3. This Cylinder is 3,660 mm in diameter, with welded lids and grooved internal surface.
The customer is replacing the current 3,000 mm cylinder with this larger one and also the current Hood with a simple extraction Fan guard, thus generating significant savings in production costs.
The supply also includes the steam and condensate system, press rail with double scraper and suitability of the drive.
It is a great satisfaction for Hergen to continue this partnership of so many years with Copapa. We congratulate the company for yet another project that will surely be completed with great success.
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.
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
