Toscotec started its production of Steel Dryers in the early 60s and, so far, more than 1000 units, with various diameters, face lengths and working pressures, have been manufactured. Thanks to its latest developments, Toscotec can today deliver high tech Steel Dryers with reduced delivery time at competitive costs.

The TT SteelDryer provides a long operating life combined with an extremely high drying capacity. Using a TT SteelDryer instead of conventional cast iron cylinders offers significant benefits from both economic and operational points of view, whether installed in a new drying section or to revamp an existing unit. Heat exchange with a TT SteelDryer is 30% higher than with cast iron cylinders due to the lower shell thickness.

In the case of a new paper machine, it is possible to use fewer dryers, which reduces both the investment cost and space requirement. Otherwise, where modification to an existing paper machine is involved, installing the same quantity of dryers delivers a higher drying capacity.

Thanks to its construction with flat heads welded to the shell, TT SteelDryer dries a wider paper sheet than a conventional cast iron cylinder with the same face length.
