M.G. Cylinders

Brilliant results with FLENDER Gear Units for M.G. Cylinders

In tissue machines and in some paper and paperboard machines there is an M.G. cylinder. These M.G. cylinders are used to give the paper a single-sided smooth and shiny surface, or to ensure the drying process for tissue paper. What is special about the M.G. cylinder is its diameter of up to 6 m. Similar to the drying cylinders, the gear unit is attached to the cylinder pin as a shaft-mounted gear unit. As with the drying cylinders, steam is led through this cylinder pin into the M.G. cylinder. Just as throughout the field of paper machinery, FLENDER gear units for M.G. cylinders have proven themselves for decades. FLENDER gear units of type GHZP/GHDP for M.G. cylinders can be ordered in the following designs:
