Closed Hood Systems For Paper Machine
At SteamMax Engineering Services, we specialize in providing advanced closed hood systems designed to enhance safety and efficiency in various industrial and laboratory settings. Our closed hood systems are engineered to control exposure to hazardous substances, ensuring a safe working environment for personnel and compliance with industry standards. A good closed dryer hood is the key to an overall optimization of the dryer section ventilation. The features of the closed hood covering a multi-cylinder dryer section of a paper machine will have an extensive impact, not only on several production efficiency parameters but also on the overall working conditions in the paper machine hall.
Yankee hood system
The Yankee Hood is a highly specialized piece of equipment that uses very high temperature air for high-speed drying primarily of tissue and towel products. A machine mounted Yankee Hood, combined with an air movement and heating apparatus located behind the machine, makes for a high efficiency and fuel economic drying system. SteamMax Yankee Hood AER Systems span the entire range of application requirements from low-speed and low temperature to high performance systems for high-speed machines. SteamMax’s exclusive nozzle design can yield high heat transfer performance and efficient hood balance with reduced fuel requirements.
Semi closed hood system
Our semi-closed hood systems are designed to provide a balance between containment and ventilation, making them ideal for various industrial applications. These systems effectively control exposure to hazardous substances while allowing for some airflow, ensuring a safe and efficient working environment.
