Upgrade Application

Applicable to all Singlefacers and Corrugated Preheat Applications

Upgrade Description

The Infusion Preheater is designed to increase productivity and provide a solution to many runnability problems resulting from insufficient heat transfer. The preheater package is compact and easily installed. The heating element consists of a stationary 20” diameter shell which is heated by high pressure and low pressure superheated steam. Liner passes over the heated shell surface in a frictionless manner and is heated by the hot steam film. The amount of heat transferred is essentially independent of web tension and the maximum paper temperature achieved is around 212° F. even at low speeds. Further, the paper moisture remains essentially the same throughout this heating phase.

Upgrade Benefits

  •  More rapid transfer of heat to the moving paper surface
  • Easily installed - small compact package
  • Self-limiting temperatures paper will not overheat even at low speeds
  • Preserves liner moisture for improved warp control and reduced liner cracking
  • Paper heating independent of web tension
  • Higher operating speeds
  • Improved warp control
  • Eliminates blisters during web splices caused by low tension
  • Reduces liner cracking caused by over-drying

Installation Description

This unit can be hung from the bridge, floor mounted, or installed on top of the existing stationary preheater

A sheeter that we had planned especially for our lightweight specialty papers has become an all-round smart sheeter that can process even heavy grammages up to 300 gsm with maximum cutting accuracy.
