adphos announces that its drying and curing technology has been chosen by an Asian steel manufacturer to replace their existing hot air convection oven by integrating an aLITE®-dryer. The system is 100% electro-thermal and uses a multi-frequency emitting photonic energy technology.
The key benefits reached by the integration of aLITE® into the existing line are space savings of over 80% and a minimum 66% reduction in energy consumption. The system provides a highly accurate and dynamically controlled coil coating production, which operates fully CO2 emission-free, supporting sustainable manufacturing practices.
The versatile aLITE®-processing technology is suitable for all water-, solvent-, and even powder-based surface coating lines. It can be integrated as an upgrade or replacement in existing coil coating process lines, or implemented as a fully stand-alone, instantaneous (3-5 seconds) drying/curing solution in planed greenfield coating lines.
By adopting the aLITE® Curing System, the Asian steel manufacturer will enhance their production efficiency, reduce operational costs, and significantly minimize their environmental footprint.
