Air flotation drying on a paper machine. A demonstration at Inveresk plc

Abstract

As part of a project to improve quality, extend the range of papers produced, and increase speed of production, Inveresk plc rebuilt and extended their 2.8 metre trimmed width, Fourdrinier paper machine. A key element of the project was to install two Jet Foil air flotation after-dryer cylinders in place of the first two existing but conventional steam heated after-dryer cylinders. These were designed to be installed in the space occupied by the conventional cylinders they replaced with minimal modification to the existing dryer section framing. The air flotation cylinder has enabled Inveresk plc to meet the production and quality requirements for their future business with only a slight increase in energy costs. (author)
