MEGTEC is the recognized leader in providing drying technologies for web coating, laminating, flexible packaging, and converting markets.
The company’s extensive experience on a wide range of films, foils, papers, tissues, textiles, non-wovens and metals (coil, wire and mesh) with more than 6 000 industrial drying installations worldwide, provides a deep understanding of specific industrial web coating and drying processes. This enables the design and manufacture of the optimal dryer for every application to ensure a drying system that integrates smoothly with the web line and delivers reliable performance over its lifetime. MEGTEC designs and builds performance-proven systems for flotation drying, air handling, web turning and control, energy management, exhaust capture and emission control. Industrial web processing applications increasingly require precise handling of thinner films, across wider web widths and at faster speeds. MEGTEC dryers and ovens operate at widths up to 9 m (30 feet), at speeds up to 30 m/sec (6000 fpm) to process a broad range of substrates from ultra-thin films to coiled metal that are coated with solvents and diverse other materials.
Industrial Drying Technologies
Available processing technologies include: non-contact air flotation dryers with patented air bar drying technology; roll support dryers/ovens, special systems such as infrared/convection air and festoon-style ovens; catenary ovens for coil coating applications; and contact-free web handling equipment. These core technology competencies are combined with a detailed understanding of the customer requirements and end-product specifications
Pilot Line Evaluation
MEGTEC’s pilot line is available for customers to test, develop and improve processes by evaluating system variables and components to optimize their performance and operation with the coatings and substrates to be used. The line has coating units and a 3-zone dryer that can operate over a wide range of web widths, substrates and tensions.
