Dryer Felt System Operations
Online Course Description:
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 or cans that are grouped together into drive sections. Each drive section is equipped with one or two dryer felts to hold the sheet tightly against the heated dryer cans. This improves heat transfer to maximize drying, and also helps control cross-machine direction shrinkage and other sheet distortions. This course discusses the importance of dryer felts, how they operate, typical installation steps, felt guiding components, and the safety hazards that are present around dryer felt systems.
