Solaronics Bekaert starts up new infrared drying system at UPM mill

March 15 2012  Solaronics Bekaert has recently started up a new infrared/air drying system as part of the rebuild of a coater at UPM Nordland Papier in Dörpen, Lower Saxony, Germany.

The turnkey rebuild delivered by Solaronics Bekaert is for the replacement of the existing electrical infrared and air drying systems supplied in 1988.The new configuration consists of UniDryer V2 units combined with new air dryers for the non contact drying of the coated paper. After each coating head, there is a new UniDryer V2 followed by a high performance air dryer, which are linked by a Solaronics Bekaert energy recovery system.The objective of the project was to maintain the existing quality of the coated wood free grades, while reducing energy consumption significantly.This new configuration results in a significant reduction of installed power due to the replacement of electricity by gas and due to the high efficiency achieved with the UniDryer V2, high performance air dryers and Solaronics Bekaert energy recovery system link.UPM Nordland Papier in Dörpen is one of the world's largest producer of uncoated and coated woodfree fine paper and has an annual capacity of 1.4 million tons.Solaronics Bekaert supplies customized drying and heating systems based on gas and electrical infrared technology to a wide range of industries, including paper and board, converting and metal processing applications. Today, more than 1,000 systems have been installed worldwide, of which 60 percent come from repeat orders with existing customers.
