The production of paper, cardboard, napkins or wallpaper as well as their further processing involves a wide variety of coating and drying processes. Apart from a stable web run, a gentle yet energy-efficient drying of the freshly coated paper products must be ensured at the same time, thus avoiding any potential damage or deposits. In the case of uneven material surfaces in particular, conventional drying systems often tend to reach their limits.

The MICOR *KIR technology for higher output quantities and better paper quality

Our MICOR infrared drying systems, which are specially designed to meet your requirements, enable us to selectively control individual drying zones. This enables us not only to achieve a more targeted drying performance, but also to increase the production speed, boost output quantity and avoid unnecessary energy consumption. Product quality is also improved as a result of flexible adjustment of the moisture profile of paper or cardboard webs, for example.

Benefits

Our short-wave IR drying systems reduce the temperature load on print substrate materials to a minimum while water and residual solvents evaporate, the dwell time in the dryer is shortened and the amount of primer energy required is significantly reduced.

Infrared solutions for paper production

MICOR infrared cassettes

Our MICOR infrared cassettes are flexible drying systems precisely adapted to your application in terms of performance as well as size. They have been specially developed for the irradiation of surfaces or passing products and can be easily integrated into existing systems, such as drying hoods.

Examples of successful applications in paper production

  • Increase of the production speed by pre-drying with MICOR *KIR infrared drying systems in the pre-dryer section after the fourdrinier or headbox
  • Increase of the drying rate by means of additional drying with MICOR *KIR infrared drying systems in the after-dryer section
  • Pre-drying and additional drying by MICOR *KIR infrared drying systems after the coating application units and before existing convection dryers
  • Edge drying by MICOR *KIR infrared drying systems after the coating application applied as additional drying to existing convection dryers
  • Coating drying on release liners, e.g. for silicone coating
