Dec 24, 2013. /Lesprom Network/. Bekaert Solaronics received an important order from Bellmer Ibérica for the rebuilt of the drying equipment on PM2 at Empaques Modernos de Guadalajara, Mexico, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

The objective of the investment is to replace the existing infrared equipment by a new Webmate® hood for coat drying and profiling after the third coating head. The existing WebMate® will be moved after the first coating head where there is no infrared system today.
