Bekaert Solaronics will supply Metsä Board Kyröskoski mill with a GemDryer® system for coat drying on their BM1, linked with one Energy Recovery System (ERS), as the company says in the press release received by Lesprom Network.
The GemDryer® infrared system replaces existing gas infrared equipment. The new drying system from Bekaert Solaronics offers higher input power, higher efficiency and helps to decrease the total running costs.
In this new project, the GemDryer® together with Gem9E emitters will increase the drying performance by 20%. They will also meet the customer needs in terms of high power density, high efficiency, flexibility and ease of maintenance.
In addition, the combination of the infrared drying system and ERS ensures significant energy savings by recirculating the final exhaust from the IR hood into the existing air dryer.
