Cartiera di Momo decided to replace the existing 30 years old Bekaert Solaronics infrared systems with the goals to increase the machine speed, reduce the gas consumption as well as improve the quality.
Bekaert Solaronics supplied four gas infrared systems UniDryer® V3 followed by sets of air bars after each of the four coating stations. The Energy Recovery Concept was again applied to this project with the air bar sets directly fed by the exhaust hot air coming from the UniDryer® V3 systems.
All the goals of the project have been met. Implementation of air bars with ERS has led to a drastic decrease of gas consumption.
The project’s goal was to increase the machine speed while keeping or improving the quality requested by the end customers.
Thanks to its power and flexibility, the UniDryer® V3 achieves optimal quality control: the infrared parts of the systems allow reaching the gel point in a fast time lapse and the convective parts of the systems permit reaching the average moisture needed for the application.
Established in 1963, Cartiera di Momo S.p.A specializes in the production of coated multilayer cardboard packaging made with recycled fibers.
Bekaert is a world market and technology leader in steel wire transformation and coating technologies.
