New techniques make Metso quick and cost effective

---

Edge wear in Yankee dryers is the most common cause of reduced cylinder life. By applying a wear-resistant coating to the edges using advanced thermal spraying techniques, the cycle between re-grinds is increased and cylinder life extended. The combination of expertise, the ability to react quickly and the quality of service is a cornerstone of Metso's success. Metso guarantees to send out a team within 24 hours in emergencies, working around the clock to reduce downtime and to help you "make paper" with the minimum delay.

Metso has perfected a low-cost method for the repair of Yankee surface imperfections. No longer is the antiquated process of drilling and plugging the quickest and most economical solution. Metso's localized repair technique is the culmination of our research, and employs a powder flame spray system.

Using this method, surface imperfections can be quickly repaired. Completion of the repair is accomplished by either precision grinding (for large areas) or hand-dressing with a stone (for smaller flaws). Both are services which Bender includes in the Yankee face restoration procedure.

Regardless of the method of finishing, the Metso repair process is technologically superior to traditional drilling and plugging. Experience has shown that this new repair technique can restore a damaged dryer to service in one-eighth the time required by drilling and plugging. Metso service techniques are just a phone call away.
