Valmet cylinder drying for all paper machine dryer sections

Proven technology for all needs

Valmet cylinder drying family features optimized steam consumption with effective ventilation and heat recovery for energy-efficient operation. As the efficiency of the entire machine is affected by the runnability of the dryer section, open draws are minimized and the wet web is well supported at the beginning of the dryer section. This ensures trouble-free web transport and production, regardless of machine speed or grade.

Controlled web shrinkage and stretch optimize end-product quality. Optimized geometry of single-fabric and double-fabric sections target even moisture profiles and flatness with minimum energy input.
