Roll support dryers for web transportation
Eliminate web curl issues and enhance drying precision for diverse materials with roll support dryers, designed to seamlessly transport and condition webs unsuitable for flotation, ensuring optimal processing efficiency.
Facilitates Precise Web Drying and Transport
Dürr’s Roll Support Dryers are engineered for precision in web handling and drying applications, catering to industries such as automotive and electronics. Utilizing a patented curved roller design, these dryers ensure the non-contact transport of webs, crucial for applications like lithium-ion battery electrodes and photovoltaic backsheets. Their integration into roll-to-roll production lines allows for smooth transitions and curl elimination, essential for maintaining product integrity.
Handling diverse applications, from drying composites to curing coatings, these dryers accommodate full-scale to bench-top operations, supporting industries from chemical to flexible packaging. Designed for energy efficiency, they feature customized impingement nozzles that optimize air delivery and uniform heat distribution. With options for material selections like stainless steel, they ensure durability and chemical compatibility.
These dryers support precise thermal management through PLC-controlled systems, allowing for seamless integration with existing production lines. They offer multi-zone capabilities for tailored drying profiles and meet industry standards, making them a robust choice for manufacturers looking for reliable, efficient web processing solutions.
