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.
