Added value through maintenance
Life cycle management for Yankees for tissue or paper production
With diameters of up to 26 ft. and shell lengths of up to 7.4 m, ANDRITZ is the technology leader for large steel Yankees. These high-performance drying cylinders are made entirely of steel, resulting in greater safety and better machine performance than cast-iron Yankees: the evaporation rate is 10–15% higher than in cast-iron models, which results in 8-10% better machine performance.
The Heart of Yankee service
Suppliers often only provide single Yankee service components like grinding, or they leave customers to maintain and service the Yankee themselves after purchase. With Yankee life cycle management, we focus on the overall added value for Yankees. We are one of the few suppliers able to offer customers a lifetime forecast for their Yankees. This is possible due to our experience in Yankee development and manufacturing work at ANDRITZ — all from a single source.
Unique Strengths
One of our strengths is that we offer complete lines — we have the necessary knowledge of and experience with the entire production process. We are not limited to mechanical issues or chemical processes as we have the full range of process, automation, instrumentation and operational experience.
