Dürr Megtec - 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 advanced battery materials, 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 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, 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.

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 to meet exact operational requirements.

Dürr Megtec dryers and ovens feature a planar retraction system that separates the top and bottom components to provide ample side-to-side access of the dryer for thread-up, cleaning, and internal maintenance. Accessible fans, motors, and heat sources allow for easy adjustment, service, and maintenance. The complete system package is engineered to optimize production and uptime rates.

Our experience in advanced thermal technology is far reaching. The knowledge and understanding of balancing the heat transfer with web handling characteristics is critical. It is the control of drying rates that do not disturb the coating combined with the knowledge and experience of web conveyance that puts Dürr Megtec at the leading edge.

Dürr Megtec flotation dryers float and dry substrates ranging from the thinnest film, foil, paper, and other flexible and advanced materials, as well as heavy metal. Patented air bar technology provides effective and efficient non-contact flotation drying without web shift.
