Belzona Products Used: Belzona High-Temperature Resistant Materials (e.g., Belzona 1511, Belzona 1391T)
Project Description:
Leaking dryer cans—also known as gyre cans—are a common and costly issue in paper mills, leading to production inefficiencies, safety concerns, and potential equipment damage. At this paper mill, persistent leaks around high-temperature dryer cans required a reliable, long-term solution that could withstand continuous thermal cycling and operational stress.
DBR applied Belzona high-temperature resistant materials, specifically formulated for hot, pressurized environments. The repair involved surface preparation followed by precise application of Belzona 1511 and an overcoat of Belzona 1391T to seal and protect the leaking areas.
This in-situ repair method allowed the plant to avoid costly shutdowns and extend the service life of the equipment. The result: a durable, leak-free seal capable of withstanding the high temperatures and pressures typical in dryer can operations—providing both significant cost savings and improved operational reliability.
