Lazy Steam is non-turbulent, noiseless, pure transparent steam — delivered through stainless steel wool packed over drilled holes in the header pipe. It is effective because non-condensable air is kept out. Unlike other steam shower designs, Lazy Steam discharges from the face with no turbulence and at a low velocity, so will never disrupt the sheet surface no matter what operating pressure. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f690f926d87cc7d82109499/t/5f6927b052632060c20e6522/1600805542342/ Home https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f690f926d87cc7d82109499/t/5f69279147dc865e9f3231de/1600805528715/ Home https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f690f926d87cc7d82109499/t/5f6927a58f2dcb0e593195c6/1600805536363/ Home https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f690f926d87cc7d82109499/t/5f69222cbc34af59dff5a37e/1600805558090/ Home - About Wells Enterprises Lazy Steam technology was developed by Roger Wells and a team of five full-time engineers and technicians over a period of fifteen years while with Weyerhaeuser Research and Development. Because the technology was so successful it was kept proprietary until 1983 when Weyerhaeuser helped Roger set up Wells Enterprises, Inc. as a licensee. Philip Wells joined the company in 1984. We later bought back the patents, allowing Wells Enterprises to sell industry-wide. https://www.lazysteam.com/what-why-lazysteam daily 0.75 2020-10-29 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f690f926d87cc7d82109499/t/5f69291714e4112b0950cf5e/1600881729723/ What Why Lazysteam Good example of transparent “lazy” steam exiting a Lazy Steam Injector in the lab.

The temperature at the Smoothing Press increased more than 20 F, giving a production increase of more than 3%. A second injector at the 2nd Press yielded an additional 2% production increase, all for a minimal investment. The payback period for this project was less than 8 weeks. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f690f926d87cc7d82109499/5f696299ace5dc03aa431050/5f6962d201c29b17223eb247/1600742135937/ Pulp On this bulk-sensitive Fluff Pulp machine the last press bottom felt was heated. Instead of the sheet losing temperature through the last press, the temperature actually increased. This installation was reportedly worth 1.5 tons/hour production rate.

By providing adequate injector steam flow, the entire tunnel was uniformly filled with transparent "lazy" steam to both high-vacuum suction nips. Red denotes "lazy" steam coverage with the slightly higher flow needed for this particular application that resulted in a significant sheet temperature increase (9 F). https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f690f926d87cc7d82109499/5f69615577b3211fc2b1fcb9/5f6961f7c1f59b06bbb39b48/1600741894136/V+2Temps.jpg Brown board Lazy Team Injectors on Bottom and 3rd Press Top felts on a Corrugating Medium machine. The modest increase in felt temperature dramatically reduced the amount of wax in the fabrics, resulting in much improved machine runnability. A 3rd Lazy Steam Injector was soon added to the Pickup Felt and this reduced the number of breaks at the Pickup position from 26 per month to virtually zero. https://www.lazysteam.com/fine-paper daily 0.75 2020-11-11 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f690f926d87cc7d82109499/5f6963ee8f2dcb0e593ac82f/5f696420d41e720056b751cf/1600742520724/FinePaperCouch.jpg Fine paper Example of temperatures with and without steam over open suction couch of small Fine Paper machine. Note the lower sheet temperature coming off the Fourdrinier without steam. (Bold denotes sheet temperatures and parentheses denote with steam.) Most significant finding on this particular machine was the significantly higher sheet temperature (13 F) ahead of the Size Press with steam. The higher temperatures improved the water removal and enabled them to make the 100 lb Cover grade that they could not before. Unique custom "gutters" were used in this application to alleviate dripping caused by an unstable steam supply to the Lazy Steam Injector. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f690f926d87cc7d82109499/5f6963ee8f2dcb0e593ac82f/5f69642b66ac3d6baa3560c5/1600742520730/MadawaskaNo6.jpg Fine paper Excellent application of a Lazy Steam Injector of a Light Weight Coated machine to increase the machine speed 120 ft/min. This injector sucessfully replaced one of another design and manufacture that caused runability issues due to having to be mounted too close to the sheet. The Lazy Steam Injector allows up to 3" clearance and still give excellent performance. Several other paper machines in this mill are now using this same equipment. Red denotes significant temperature improvements.
