Applications

📊

CD Moisture Profile Control

High-resolution moisture profile control in the cross-direction (CD) and Z-direction; prevents production loss and quality issues caused by a poor moisture profile.

📏

Edge Drying

Eliminates wet streaks caused by insufficient drying at the paper edges; removes wet streaks more than 3.5% above the target moisture average, enabling higher machine speeds.

🎨

Coating Drying

Fixes coatings through rapid inside-out heat transfer and evaporation; delivers 50% energy savings compared to competing dryers.

🔥

Preheating

Preheating after the presses increases sheet stiffness and prevents surface crushing and picking; an energy input equal to just 3% of the total drying load can deliver a 9% increase in machine speed.
