Reduction of the web run in a gravure printing press by over 70% thanks to the compact dryer configuration from adphos (source: adphos)
A top-tier global printing company specializing in décor and packaging production has selected an adphos aNir drying solution as part of upgrading their 5-color gravure printing press. They have chosen to replace and upgrade their fossil fuel fired convection drying system on an existing roto-gravure press with an all-electric adphos aNir drying solution after testing and comparison an aNir to shortwave and carbon IR (midwave) drying systems.
With the adphos aNir solution, the following benefits were noted and expected:
Anzeige
Energy reduction of over 55% compared to the conventional IR systems due to the higher efficiency and instant on/off capability of the adphos aNir system.
Decreased web path of over 70%, due to a possible compact drying configuration which also contributes to a notable reduction of scrap and waste.
Significantly improved color to color print registration and adjustment during press operation with highly dynamic process parameter adjustments including the ramp up/down of press speeds
The substantial cost benefits associated with integrating the adphos aNi drying solution are estimated to provide a return on investment within a mere twelve months.
