Depending on the degree of damage, different methods to restore the surface become applicable. Localized defects, grooves or scratches can mostly be removed by polishing. Damages like deep chatter marks, corrosion or wear requires on-site profile grinding to restore the optimum shape of the Yankee cylinder. Valmet offers the following Yankee services to create the perfect Yankee surface, ensure optimum performance and extended service life: Yankee surface polishing On-site Yankee profile grinding Thermal coating Yankee surface polishing - removes build-up and slight chatter marks Screen cloth removes non-uniform organic coating and hard build-up on the cylinder edges and helps to establish a uniform surface finish. It is easy to apply and prevents crepe blade vibrations, sheet holes and edge breaks due to build up. The Yankee surface polishing (RSG) is recommended to restore the surface integrity, remove local defects, grooves, scratches and dents. The (RSG) polishing makes it possible to remove defects up to a depth of 0.2mm. On-site Yankee profile grinding - removes severe surface defects and fully restores the cylinder profile Yankee profile grinding is suited for more severe surface defects, chatter marks of more than 0.2mm depth and wear resulting in a loss of the ideal Yankee surface profile. The grinding equipment can be installed either in the suction press roll or doctor position. It provides high accuracy and grinding quality.
