Metering Size for Starch Application
Film Press Concept
All restrictions related to the use of the regular puddle Size Press 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 a starch solution which remains in continuous circulation.
A 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.
Rolls: Ø 1.000 mm
Rolls: Ø 1.500 mm
Benefits
Fiber saving
Drying energy savings since less water is applied to the paper
Starch film application with up to 14% solid content
Better control over the starch film applied, providing excellent sheet surface
Fully independent film application for each sheet paper side allowing different types of film application
For application in medium and high speed machines
