The treatment of dryers falls into the following key areas:

DIAGNOSIS
Complete operating survey on a Yankee or M.G. dryer using state-of-the-art analysis and diagnostic techniques. Samples of pulp, water and chemicals provide a complete insight into the condition of the dryer, its ability to produce paper and the need, if any, for remedial action. Investigations using unique thermal imaging techniques originally developed for the aerospace industry will pinpoint potential troublespots on an otherwise serviceable dryer.
Bender will carry out tests either on site or in its own headquarters test facility.

FORECASTING
By analyzing the information gathered, Bender can detect early warnings of any potential problems, thus preventing unscheduled shutdowns. Survey results can also eliminate the dryer as a problem area.

ACTION PLAN
At the conclusion of each investigation, Bender will advise on the operational life of the cylinder and the optimum time for treatment, whether a brief shutdown to prevent further deterioration of a small problem, or a complete refurbishment. What's more, Bender will recommend the best way to approach the problem so that the dryer is not only reinstated, but also capable of improving product quality.
