Drying/Curing Equipment — Avoid Half-baked Systems

Many customers seek drying/curing systems that allow them to use various types of coatings on a range of paper stocks, while curing the coatings at top press speeds without the threat of picking or blocking the loads, according to William Fuchs, president of FDV Inc.

FDV's answer to this need is a package it calls the Total Drying System. This system—custom-designed for individual needs—features PLC controls and touchscreen operations. "This allowed us to integrate our software with that of the original equipment manufacturers and now our systems operate within the press control consoles," Fuchs states.
