Case Study: ABC Tissue Products achieves more uniform moisture and fewer sheet breaks with Valmet Yankee thermal spray coating

ABC Tissue Products cuts sheet breaks by 50% with Valmet

ABC Tissue Products, a leading tissue paper product supplier in Australia, sought to improve the performance of its TM1 machine. Their challenge was to achieve a consistently uniform moisture profile and reduce sheet breaks to ensure premium tissue quality. To address this, they partnered with Valmet.

Valmet implemented its Infinikote-1 thermal spray coating service on the customer's Yankee dryer. This solution enhanced the cylinder's surface condition for optimal heat transfer. The results included a 50% reduction in sheet breaks and a uniform moisture profile that was maintained throughout the felt lifetime, leading to significantly improved runnability and more efficient machine operation. Valmet's experienced team ensured the project was completed successfully despite initial challenges.
