Video00:42:41 Aug 2, 2023Superior Drying Efficiency in Steel Dryers ConceptThis TAPPI webinar explores how carbon steel dryer cylinders deliver superior performance compared to cast iron alternatives in paper manufacturing. Simone Puccini from Tosco Tech demonstrates how steel's higher allowable stress enables thinner shell thickness, resulting in 15-20% improved heat transfer coefficients and production increases up to 25%. Mid-career professionals will discover practical benefits including reduced energy consumption, better cross-direction moisture profiles, shorter drying section requirements, and easier maintenance through welded construction versus bolted cast iron assemblies. Real case studies showcase measurable ROI improvements for corrugated and scoreboard production lines.
