20 Aug 14: Applications in Use, I--Steel Dryer Cans
LGMI R

 

Sign up for the 5th Annual Conference, 26 - 28 Oct 14,  here.

 

 

We are going to start a new subject this week.  Over the past five years, we have proposed more than 160 ideas to reduce weight and/or improve performance of paper machines and pulp mills.

 

Now, we are going to start identifying suppliers and known applications where these have been implemented, with or without our inspiration.

 

This week, we highlight steel dryer cans.

 

Toscotec has made more than 1.000 steel dryer cans--

TT Steel Dryer 

 

Andritz has been making steel yankees--

Prime Dry Steel Yankees 

 

Does anyone know of others making steel dryers? 

 

In coming weeks, we will be talking about 

 

Known PVC and CPVC piping applications

 

Planetary Gear Boxes

 

Applications where high voltage has been used to save copper.

 

If you can shed any light on these topic, please let us know by sending an email to [email protected]
with "LGMI Frontiers" in the subject line.
