On-site grinding for Yankee and MG cylinders
The surface condition of a Yankee or MG cylinder has a direct impact on paper quality, runnability, doctoring and overall production efficiency. Through precise cylinder grinding, PR Rolls repairs surface and shape-related problems and improves the quality of the cylinder surface.

A professionally ground cylinder surface helps to:

Improve paper and board quality
Support stable machine runnability
Reduce web breaks and production disturbances
Improve surface profile and contact conditions
Make doctoring easier and more consistent
Prepare the cylinder surface for coating when needed

Our grinding work is performed using machinery and equipment designed specifically for on-site operations at the customer’s premises. PR Rolls also offers superfinishing, which can be used to achieve a very smooth, mirror-like surface quality required in demanding applications such as Yankee and MG cylinders.

Coating solutions for Yankee and MG cylinders
In addition to grinding, PR Rolls provides high-performance coating services for Yankee and MG cylinders. Together with industry experts, we have developed proprietary coatings that improve cylinder performance and help keep surfaces in good condition for longer.

Our coatings are designed to provide high wear resistance and support trouble-free operation. Depending on the application and operating conditions, coating can help:

Extend the service life of Yankee and MG cylinders
Improve resistance to wear
Reduce dirt and sticky build-up
Support better paper release from the cylinder
Improve production reliability
Reduce maintenance needs over time

PR Rolls’ coating range includes long-life carbide coatings and fluoroplastic carbide composite coatings, developed for demanding paper machine environments. On-site coating is a fast and cost-effective way to prolong roll and cylinder life and maintain high paper quality.

Grinding and coating as one complete service
For many Yankee and MG cylinder maintenance projects, the best result is achieved by combining grinding and coating. Grinding restores the correct surface quality and geometry, while coating protects the surface and improves operating performance.

This combined approach helps mills achieve:

Better cylinder surface condition
Longer maintenance intervals
Improved paper quality
More reliable production
Reduced downtime compared with removing the cylinder from the machine

PR Rolls performs the work in close collaboration with the customer. Before the service, we can inspect and measure the cylinder, assess the maintenance need and recommend the most suitable grinding and coating solution.
