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
