Yankee Hood Protection
As the area around the dry end of the Yankee dryer is usually dusty, a small smouldering fire can easily be spread by the rotation of the Yankee cylinder. As a result, ignition sources can be scattered to an even larger area. Once the fire has got a grip, particularly on the drive side of the tissue machine, the fire becomes not only dangerous but also difficult to extinguish without contributing to additional costly
downtime. Conventional extinguishing methods generally require massive amounts of water to extinguish.
