AIRTHERM can provide industry leading process air systems for a wide range of industrial applications. Specifically this includes:

• Totally Enclosed or Open insulated paper machine hoods which provide ideal vapor confinement and better control of air quality for improved drying of the sheet.

• Basement Enclosures to eliminate air infiltration and insure better air control around the dryer section.

• Hood Exhaust systems to remove vapor from inside the hood enclosure.

• Pocket Ventilation systems to introduce heated air into the dryer pockets in order to increase the paper machine drying capacity.

• Vapor Absorption systems to discharge drying air against the sheet and/or the return fabric.

• Yankee Air Cap systems to provide thermally efficient drying for the tissue and towel maker.

• Flat-Bed Thru Dryers to handle the following applications:

  • Air Laid Thru Dryer system

  • Tissue & Towel Thru Dryer system

  • Fiberglass Mat Thru Dryer system

• Web Dryers of floatation or impingement design to match heat transfer technology with the product. These dryers can be applied to:

  • Coated Paper, Film or Foil Drying

  • Coated Fabric and Textile Drying

  • Adhesive Curing

  • Non-Woven Curing

• Heat Recovery systems that include the following:

  • Air-to-Air heat exchangers to reuse heat from process exhausts to preheat air utilized in process supply air systems.

  • Air-to-Water/Glycol heat recovery to reclaim waste heat from exhaust systems for use elsewhere.

  • Direct Spray economizers to utilize high temperature exhaust air to heat water for other processes.

• Miscellaneous Process systems:

  • Calender Cooling systems designed to cool the calender rolls.

  • Sheet Cooling systems to deal with excess heat build up in the sheet.

  • Mist Eliminator systems to provide relief from water mists or other air borne vapors.

  • Web Cleaner systems for many applications in the paper, converting and printing industries.

• Trim Conveying systems that can transport the winder trim directly to a pulper or to a cyclone collector and bailing system for later repulping.
