Coating Air Separation Unit
Our patented Coating Air Separation System (CAS Unit) helps eliminate bubbles that can cause coating defects and ruin rolls of product. Coating is piped into the CAS Unit after filtering and prior to the coating application. Static pressure is converted into centrifugal force, causing bubbles to move to the center of a tube where, along with some coating, they're drawn off. Air-free coating then continues into the applicator while the air-laden coating is diverted back into the coating supply tank for re-use - leaving you with a high-quality, bubble-free coating. This innovative system won the 1998 "Technology of the Year" award from Aimcal.
Steamex System
A moisturizing system for one or two-sided coated paper or board, the patented Steamex System is undoubtedly the most innovative rehumidification system available today. Unlike conventional systems that merely provide surface wetting, the Steamex System uses saturated steam in a controlled atmosphere to cause water vapor to fully penetrate the paper mass and then condense, resulting in uniform rehumidification. By using this unique saturated steam method, the Steamex is able to avoid common side effects (such as distorting, spotting and web swelling) that are usually associated with surface wetting. The Steamex System can also improve your line's efficiencies because there's no dwell time, and therefore no extra web length, while water penetrates and equalizes throughout your substrate. In the end, that means higher productivity - and higher profits - for your business.
