Bekaert Solaronics is partnering with Bellmer for the installation of a UniDryer® V3 system in PM14 at Technocell Günzach’s paper mill in Germany. The extensive revamp of the paper machine is scheduled to take place in the 4th quarter 2015.

This installation is part of the Technocell Günzach’s project to expand the production of pre-impregnated papers, a key growth segment. After the rebuild, the paper machine PM14 will produce both pre-impregnated PRIP® as well as nonwoven papers coated on both sides for wallpapers.  

The objective of the installation in the Günzach mill is the non-contact drying of a new specialty paper. The UniDryer® V3 offers a rapid heating, high energy efficiency, high compactness and ultimately a better paper quality. The system will be equipped with Gem12E, the latest generation of Bekaert Solaronics emitters that allow an increased drying efficiency by approximately 10 % compared to the regular Gem12 emitters.

We pursue to be the preferred supplier for our steel  wire  products  and  solutions  by  continuously delivering superior value to our customers worldwide. Bekaert (Euronext Brussels: BEKB) is a global company with 30 000 employees worldwide, headquarters in Belgium and € 4 billion in annual revenue. Founded in 1967, Bekaert Solaronics supplies customized drying and heating systems based on gas and electrical infrared technology to a wide range of industries. Today, more than 1 000 systems have been installed worldwide. The company also provides maintenance services and is available to assist on upgrades or improved energy efficiency of existing systems.

Bekaert Solaronics has installed two gas infrared drying UniDryer^® V3 systems on PM8 after coaters 1&2 at the Condat paper mill of Lecta Group in France.

The investment is to significantly reduce the energy consumption and hence lower the operational costs. The UniDryer^® V3 systems replace the existing electrical infrared dryers and are coupled to the hot air dryers by the ERS concept which uses the exhaust from the UniDryer^® V3 as energy source for the hot air dryers.

The combined infrared and air dryer UniDryer^® V3 is a compact system in which high performance gas infrared emitters are alternated with high temperature and velocity air nozzles. The combination of these features results in rapid heating, a high evaporation rate and ultimately in better paper quality.

Both systems are equipped with Gem12E emitters which have proven their excellent efficiency and reliability for the paper and board industry. Today, more than 7 000 Gem12E emitters have already been installed in manufacturing sites of the world’s major paper companies.

Also the ERS concept is increasingly gaining interest because it significantly reduces the energy consumption of hot air dryers.

Bekaert Solaronics received an order from Matsubo Corporation to install two infrared WebMate^® hoods in a paper mill that manufactures coated specialties in Japan.

The objective of these two systems, installed after two new coating stations,is to correct the cross direction moisture profile before coating station and before reel for an optimal paper quality at the lower operating costs.

Two WebMate^® systems are already installed after other coating stations on the machine. Both systems providing fully satisfaction in terms on quality and efficiency, the customer renewed its confidence to Bekaert Solaronics. 

The new electrical non-contact infrared drying systems WebMate^®are equipped with 1 row of 20 M2000 modules which guarantee perfect quality, a high drying rate as well as a long lifetime.

Furthermore, moisture profile correction is optimized thanks to the gold-coated parabolic reflector technology that ensures a focused energy radiation only where it is needed.
