S.B.R. Solutions is dedicated to the design of steam & condensate systems for paper machine dryer sections both for new plants and for the optimization of the existing ones. Thirty years of experience allows us to design systems for different types of paper using the latest technologies and methods available for paper drying.  The reference values remain: maximum production, maximum flexibility and lowest specific consumption achievable. 

Continuous research and technological development have led to a marked improvement in the production conditions of paper and board machines in recent decades. There are many conditions that contribute to optimising the drying of the paper in the dryer section, among them the high paper dryness coming out of the press area and the quality of the stock. Dryer sections are also increasingly improved by benefiting from advanced dryer cans technology, dryer equipment, dryer fabrics, drives and ventilation systems. The design of steam and condensate systems can therefore be devoted to more rational solutions than in the past, mainly focused on plant flexibility. Such flexibility is often required to dry many types of papers and boards on the same machine. The design must also reconcile the need to achieve the best efficiency in order to reduce the consumption required for drying, as the dryer section is the source of most energy consumption in the entire paper mill. 

At the dawn of possible major developments in drying technologies, S.B.R. Solutions has developed its design on 2 fundamental principles: development of in-depth calculations to correctly size flexible yet simple installations; development of configurations based on in-depth knowledge and experience of drying different types of paper and cardboard. Obtaining the highest achievable production conditions and the best management of primary and secondary energies are always the reference point of our studies.
