Bekaert Solaronics received an order from Matsubo Corporation to install two infrared WebMate® hoods in a paper mill that manufactures coated specialties in Japan.
The objective of these two systems, installed after two new coating stations,is to correct the cross direction moisture profile before coating station and before reel for an optimal paper quality at the lower operating costs.
Two WebMate® systems are already installed after other coating stations on the machine. Both systems providing fully satisfaction in terms on quality and efficiency, the customer renewed its confidence to Bekaert Solaronics.
The new electrical non-contact infrared drying systems WebMate®are equipped with 1 row of 20 M2000 modules which guarantee perfect quality, a high drying rate as well as a long lifetime.
Furthermore, moisture profile correction is optimized thanks to the gold-coated parabolic reflector technology that ensures a focused energy radiation only where it is needed.
