A heated roll with a circular cylindrical casing tube 1 made from thermally conductive metal, which is closed at its end faces with caps 2, 3. One or more electric heating mats 8 are arranged inside the casing tube 1. By at least one connection pin 5, which is arranged at one cap 2, connection cables 11 are guided for supplying the heating mats 8 with electric power. Annular brushing bodies 7 are fastened at the connection pin 5 and serve for the electric contacting of the connection cables 11. A tensioning device 9, 14, 15 is arranged inside the casing tube 1, which presses the heating mats 8 permanently against the interior surface of the casing tube 1.

A Yankee drier for paper production including a body having a metal mantle with circular cross-section and two side heads on which are formed or mounted two respective coaxial pins arranged along a rotation axis of the Yankee, the body being configured to rotate with a predetermined angular speed around the rotation axis. Inside the body is arranged a fixed electromagnetic induction heating system comprising one or more inductors interacting electromagnetically with the mantle to produce induced electric currents in the same mantle, the one or more inductors being arranged near the radially innermost surface of the mantle.

A papermaking machine including a Yankee including a body provided with a metal mantle with circular cross-section and two end heads on which are formed or mounted two respective coaxial pins arranged along a rotation axis of the Yankee, the body being configured to rotate with a predetermined angular speed around said rotation axis. Inside the body is arranged a fixed electromagnetic induction heating system including one or more inductors interacting electromagnetically with the mantle to produce induced electric currents in the same mantle, the inductors being arranged near the radially innermost surface of the mantle. In the machine is arranged a structured web configured for transporting a sheet of fibrous material up to the contact of the latter with the mantle of the Yankee.
