The TAPPI Yankee Dryer Safety and Reliability (YDS&R) Committee held its spring meeting on May 2 in Atlanta, Ga., USA, immediately following the Tissue360 Forum at PaperCon 2013. The committee has been very productive, issuing new tools to help TAPPI’s tissue maker members improve their operation.

Clive Butler of PMT lead a team that issued a new peer-reviewed guideline for routine inspection of cast iron yankees and MG dryers. The Technical Information Paper (TIP) can be accessed from the TAPPI website. If your company has a TAPPI Standards license, you can download it at no charge. Search for TAPPI TIP 0425-01.

The next meeting will be held November 5-6, 2013, at Miron Construction in Neenah, Wis. Planned topics include: (1) wet end profile and chemistry effect on creping, and (2) pressure roll life, design, and cover materials.

For more information, contact Scott Springmier. Past presentations and other resources are available for members on the committee website.
