  • Patent number: 11807987
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a steel Yankee drier including a cylindrical steel mantle with two end heads on each of which a corresponding pin is arranged, the cylindrical mantle having an external surface and an internal surface, and the internal surface of the mantle in cooperation with the end heads delimiting an internal chamber of the Yankee drier in which steam can be introduced. The surface protective coating is at least partially formed on the internal surface of the mantle by introducing a predetermined amount of a nickel bath in a volume delimited in a radial direction by the internal surface of the mantle, followed by a permanence of the bath in said volume for a predetermined time. The surface protective coating protects the internal surface of the mantle from corrosive and/or abrasive agents contained in the steam introduced into said chamber.

  • Patent number: 9885150
    Abstract: Shoe press comprising a fixed support structure (2, 10), a flexible belt (1) rotating about said fixed support structure (2, 10) which flexible belt (1) can be pushed against a bearing element (4) to define a pressure nip (N), a shoe (3) connected with the fixed support structure (2, 10) and arranged with respect to the belt (1) so as to push the latter towards the bearing element (4) in correspondence of the nip (N) by effect of a pressure exerted on the same shoe (3) by corresponding loading means. The loading means are constituted by hydraulic cylinders each of which has a chamber (90) formed by a corresponding passing hole formed in the fixed support structure (2, 10) and a rod (91) which on one side is free to slide inlaid hole and on the other side transmits pressure to the shoe (3).
