Paper Machine Alternative Drying Systems
On most conventional paper and board machines, the energy required to dry the sheet to the desired moisture target at the reel is supplied by a series of rotating steam-heated dryer cylinders or cans. This module briefly covers the principles behind this system of drying. It will discusses applications where this system is not the best choice, and where alternative drying techniques can be used. These alternatives include: Yankee drying, through-air drying, infrared drying, impulse drying, and air impingement drying.
