Voith and its subsidiaries BTG and Toscotec have announced a modular Yankee Service portfolio with the new ProServices.
With this, papermakers will have access to eight different specialized measurement and diagnostic tools to troubleshoot most Yankee operational and safety issues to increase tissue production efficiency.
