Roll-to-Roll Process Applications
Dürr Megtec continues to pioneer the engineering and development of non-contact flotation dryers and ovens. Its 50+ years of experience, more than 100 patents, and thousands of dryer installations worldwide confirm its leadership position as a world-class supplier of roll-to-roll drying and curing systems for industrial applications.
Customized Industrial Dryers and Ovens for Roll-to-Roll Process Applications
In the industrial sector, drying and curing technologies from Dürr Megtec have been deployed in roll-to-roll processing applications for lithium-ion battery electrode coating, coatings of various types, composites, solar films, membranes, flexible packaging, coil coating, converting, printing, electronics, nonwovens, and other industries.
Our patented flotation air bar systems transport webs contact-free without web shift, which helps ensure product quality. Capable of handling webs at a wide range of speeds and widths, Dürr Megtec flotation dryers float and dry webs of substrates ranging from the thinnest film, foil, paper, and other flexible and advanced materials, to heavy metal.
In the web offset and digital printing markets, Dürr Megtec is synonymous with the development of patented roll-to-roll curing and drying solutions and the integration of dryers and oxidation systems. The result is optimum printing performance, minimized energy and waste costs, all while meeting the strictest environmental requirements.
Dürr Megtec dryers can be built in horizontal, vertical, or arched configurations depending on the specific product and space requirements. Each system incorporates energy-saving features, easy threading, and easy maintenance access. Separate web drying and air handling modules accommodate the most basic design to nearly an unlimited number of configurations with regard to web width, zone configurations, and machine layout.
Designs can include different types of heat sources (convection, UV and infrared), zone lengths, web widths, and nozzle configurations, while providing superior drying, curing and web handling.
High-efficiency heat sources and advanced air flow management conserve energy to minimize operating costs. Whether the application operates with gas, thermal oil, steam or electricity, Dürr Megtec has a heating system designed for these requirements.
