Yankee Dryer - Accessories
Turbulence Bars
The turbulence bars function is to break the condensate film formed on the inner cylinder surface thus allowing higher convection between the steam and the cylinder, improving heat transfer and consequently a providing a higher evaporation rate
Benefits
Increase cylinder drying capacity
Improve drying/moisture profile
Easy installation
Low cost investment
Condensate extractors
The condensate extractors are supported by solid structures which ensure the required frame rigidity
The entire system is designed to compensate thermal expansion and provide high wear resistance
Benefits
Homogeneous condensation extraction resulting in:
Extremely homogeneous Yankee cylinder cross temperature profile
Homogeneous cure/maintenance of the organic coating
High stability of drying and creping processes
Increased drying capacity
For ribbed cylinders
For smooth cylinders
Yankee Dryer Heat Insulation
The Yankee Dryer loses heat through its heads which means a continuous energy waste. The cylinder thermal insulation minimizes this loss resulting in considerable energy savings
Additionally, thermal insulation also increases operator safety due to the significant temperature reduction on the external part of the insulation
Benefits
Steam saving from 3 to 5%
Increased operator’s safety
Low cost investment
