Dryer Optimization

By optimizing the drying process in the Rotograuvre and Flexographic printing, coating and laminating industries Operational has substantially reduced operating costs, improved product quality, increased machine speed and corrected many other drying problems.

Where VOC abatement is under consideration, the optimization process can dramatically reduce the exhaust air flow rates from the process and cut the capital cost of abatement by between 40% - 70%.

Although it is relatively simple to influence various factors effecting the efficiency of the drying process. It is more difficult to regulate the process as a whole. Operational specialises in the control and refinement of the complete process to achieve optimum drying efficiency.

Through surveys, analysis and evaluation, Operational will provide recommendations to achieve:

• Reduced air flow rates
• Improved product quality
• Reduced energy input and costs
• Increased press speed
• Reduced solvent retention
• Improved system safety and control

The savings can be quite dramatic, allowing for pay-back in a very short time frame.

Performance Printing

Modern presses are an expensive investment, which is why Operational aim to maximise the output from printing assets. In doing so, we focus on the overall process, from the design stage through each of the various facets of the process, to ensure that all components are optimised.

Operational have a wealth of experience in:

• Specialist development of ink system application
• Consultancy in print technology improvement
• Systems development
• Process operator training
• Process development, rationalisation ad production

Whether you are seeking to achieve maximum efficiency or superb quality, Operational will design and configure the optimum package for the application.
