Custom Dryers and Ovens – Flotation, Drum, Air Can, Tenter
Dürr offers custom and hybrid dryers and ovens, which are contact-free and energy-efficient. These are tailored for traditional converting markets as well as emerging markets dealing with new, advanced materials.
Industrial Coating, Laminating, and Saturating
The key to effectively drying ink or coatings lies in selecting the appropriate nozzle technology that aligns with the process requirements. Understanding the balance between heat transfer and web handling characteristics is crucial. Dürr excels in controlling drying rates without disrupting the coating, leveraging extensive knowledge and experience in web conveyance.
Dürr dryers can be constructed in horizontal, vertical, or arched configurations, depending on specific product and spatial needs. They incorporate energy-saving features, facilitate easy threading, and provide maintenance access. Separate modules for web drying and air handling offer flexibility, accommodating various configurations concerning web width, zone layout, and machine design.
Design options encompass different heat sources, zone lengths, web widths, and nozzle configurations, ensuring superior drying, curing, and web handling. High-efficiency heat sources and advanced airflow management contribute to energy conservation, minimizing operating costs. Whether utilizing gas, thermal oil, steam, or electricity, Dürr offers heating systems tailored to specific requirements.
Custom-built Sizing Program to Design for Your Specific Needs
Dürr’s drying lab evaluates individual drying and curing requirements, utilizing a custom-built sizing program to design a dryer with the optimal drying profile for the application. The design considers factors such as coating type, nozzle velocities in each zone, air flow, temperatures, and the path of the web through the oven. A wide range of dryer styles and designs is available to meet diverse customer and process needs. The drying process modeling is based on theoretical and empirical data, showcasing Dürr’s depth of knowledge in various web processes and requirements.
