The new Macrowave™ radio
frequency drying system from Radio Frequency Co., Inc. can offer greater
efficiency than conventional web dryers and enable the high-speed drying of
water-based patterned glue and coatings at line speeds previously reached only
with solvent-based coatings. The system selectively heats only the coated
portions on the web, leaving the bound moisture in the substrate intact, thus
preventing over-drying, discoloration, distortion and shrinkage. Capable of
operating at web speeds up to 1500 FPM, this system requires a smaller
footprint than other dryers, allows for lower web temperatures, and provides up
to 50% energy savings.
