In September of last year, OL Papéis hired Hergen for the manufacture of its new tissue paper machine, the MP3.
The project is advancing at full speed. By July, the Drying Section and the Reel had already been delivered.
On the 14th, the Yankee Cylinder was shipped. It is a Smart Yankee Dryer cylinder, built in Steel and with a grooved internal surface.
Diameter: 3,660 mm
Face: 3,100 mm
Grooved internal surface
Built in Steel
Welded covers
Working pressure: 10 bar
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 Smart Yankee Dryer is 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
