IN-SITU BALANCING OF DRYER CYLINDERS
Imbalance in dryer cylinders can result in high vibration throughout the dryer section. As the machine operating speed increases, unbalance forces can increase significantly, leading to reliability and product quality problems. Correcting dryer imbalance presents significant technical challenges, due to slow turning speeds, and phase influence of nearby dryers.
Traditional correction methods require extended shutdowns with potential for significant lost production. Acuren’s technique has been in use for more than 20 years, using regular maintenance shutdowns as the opportunity for incremental improvement.
