Fully independent film application for each sheet paper side allowing different types of film application
For application in medium and high speed machines
Hergen/Horst Sprenger Partnership
The Dosing Bars and Cradles used in SMART SIZER are manufactured by Horst Sprenger, a German company, which has extensive experience in manufacturing, installing and giving technical assistance in starch applicators worldwide.
Horst Sprenger has monitored the entire start-up of the SMART SIZER, ensuring the correct installation and operation of the Dosing Bars, as well as training the machine operators on their use and maintenance.
FilmPress concept
All restrictions when using a normal Size Press with puddle are eliminated
High efficiency and stability even at high speeds
Starch is applied by two independent fully automated metering heads resulting in an extremely simple operation
Functioning
Two coating heads are fed with starch solution which remains in continuous circulation
Starch film is applied onto nip rolls by metering grooved rods according to process requirements
In the nip, the starch film applied onto rolls surface is transferred to the sheet paper
