100" Wide Coating/Saturation Line

Description

Used approximately 100" (2,540 mm) wide coating/saturation line built in 2016, engineered for multi-chemistry saturation, thermal drying, with integrated emissions control. Originally designed for paper rolls with basis weight range of 50–280 GSM, the line has been validated on 80–225 GSM range.

Technical Specifications
Working Width (Deckle): 100 inches (2,540 mm)
Speed: Typical: 250–650 FPM (76–198 meters per minute). Maximum: 750 FPM (229 meters per minute)
Basis Weight: Design: 50–280 GSM. Validated: 80–225 GSM
Saturation Rate (By Weight): Typical: 15–25%. Epoxy (special case): 12%
Saturant Solids Concentration: 22–25%
Supported Saturants: Phenol formaldehyde, melamine formaldehyde, epoxies, some water-based acrylics
Solvent System: Methanol (primary – also used to generate steam via thermal oxidizer). Water (potential alternative)
Applicator Type: Double-kiss roll. Two outer rolls coat two inner rolls. Allows dual-side chemistry and pickup control
Drying System: 8 identical-length floating bed convection dryers (EHA), with independent temperature and airflow control per section
VOC Control: Thermal oxidizer operating at 2,000–3,000°F (1,093–1,649°C)
Energy Efficiency: Integrated steam recovery from thermal oxidizer
