Abstract :
The silent dryer drive (SDD) concept is described. The concept involves driving the dryers through the fabric, thus eliminating the large gear cases and decreasing the noise in the dryer section. The benefits of the SDD include: (1) simplified-framing; (2) equal baseplate loading, front and back; (3) improved air flow around the dryers; (4) broke removal improvements; (5) restoration of normal machine speed and maintenance practice; (6) greater uniformity of interdryer draws; (7) noise reduction; (8) tight tuning due to lack of gear backlash; (9) better acceleration and deceleration; and (10) improved lubrication system operation.<>
