One-piece forged Yankee dryer revealed by A.Celli


What is described as a revolutionary concept in the design of Yankee dryer (YD) shells has been launched by A.Celli Paper. The Italy-based paper making machinery specialist has developed a way of making the shells from one-piece forgings with two goals: to minimise mechanical issues and maximise uniformity and heat transfer. The iDEAL YD is characterised by a shell made using hot forging and rolling systems. The result is said to be a highly


innovative and seamless product that stands out for its exceptional quality of manufacture. The homogeneous material and structure, free from residual stress, enables greater variation in operating pressure and enhanced safety by reducing the risk of failure.


The conventional method, which


requires assembly using welded components, poses the risk of defects, says A.Celli; therefore regular maintenance and inspection is required throughout the life span of the vessel, reducing confidence and increasing cost from expensive inspections and loss of production due to periods of inactivity. Other features of the iDEAL YD include the shape of its internal grooves; the patented shell corner minimises deformation and stress at the edges resulting in a thinner root, increasing drying capacity. The head insulation system is novel, comprising a patented ceramic layer that reduces heat loss and steam consumption. More information from A.Celli

Compact microwave humidity sensor from Cristini SmartScan sensors are


A compact microwave sensor for measuring the humidity in sheets is to be launched at the MIAC Show in Lucca by Cristini Diagnostic Systems. The SmartScan LM sensor is based on ultra-short microwaves for the accurate measurement of humidity in the sheet for low weights and humidity, typical of post-size positions. This latest sensor completes the SmartScan family which is targeted for press sections already on the market, and has been installed on a number of machines in Europe and North America.


engineered to overcome the typical limits of the NIR (Near Infrared) technologies. This new generation of sensors is characterised by what is claimed to be the most compact construction on the market, with single side measurement. These characteristics and the absence of reflectors and/or sensors on the reverse side of the sheet, enables a wider freedom in its installation. More information from S.A.

‘Game-changing’ online condition monitoring system launched


An online condition-based monitoring (CBM) system offering real-time management of safety and business critical assets has been launched by UK- based AVT Reliability. Machine Sentry MSO-1 is


suitable for installation on equipment ranging from rotating machines to advanced turbo machinery such as power generators. The critical vibration data captured is stored in the Machine Sentry database where it is integrated with data from other condition monitoring techniques. This detailed condition data


can be securely accessed from anywhere in the world by using a standard web browser, allowing continuous monitoring, highly- critical asset management, failure detection and troubleshooting. Its small size, low power


consumption, Ethernet/Wifi/4G optional web connectivity, email alarm notification and high storage capability are said to make the system extremely easy to install, operate and maintain.


The latest version fully


integrates and extends the current capacity of the Machine Sentry web platform and MSM-1 mobile sensor. Frederic Thomas, managing


director of AVT Reliability, says: “Machine Sentry MSO-1 is a genuine game changer. The Machine Sentry suite of products and software is a unique solution revolutionising the condition monitoring world and brings Industry 4.0 one step closer to reality. “It can be installed and


operated by experts and novices alike and offers ready access to detailed diagnosis and advice from AVT’s world leading CM engineers – crucial features at a time of acute skill shortages in the manufacturing industry whilst driving for high availability of assets.” More information from AVT
