Paper Machine Drying

Visit https://goo.gl/laH7LD to view the full video and purchase access to our other Paper courses. On 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. These cylinders, or "cans," are grouped into multiple drive sections, which go progressively faster in order to adjust for machine direction stretch and to maintain sheet tension. This module will provide a general overview of the drying section of a paper machine.
