Metal strip driers for different forms of energy
For drying metal strips Münstermann offers driers, blow-off stations and a combination of driers and blow-off stations. The Münstermann driers are convection driers (drying with warm air). The blow-off stations work with a very high stream of air, where the drying effect is achieved by blowing off the dampness from the surface of the metal.
The required type of energy for the driers depends on its use. The steel strip driers can be adjusted to the type of heat available quite simply.
Among other things, driers can be supplied using:
- natural gas
- various burnable gases (e.g. Butane)
- saturated steam
- hot water
- thermo-oils
- electrical energy
Münstermann has developed and built two types of metal strip driers:
- Driers of the Münstermann-Kompakt-Design
- Driers of the Münstermann-Diskret-Design
The Münstermann special nozzles employed are slit nozzles of different individual designs which are fitted on to individual nozzle boxes.
Customized solutions
Special demands on the design of the Münstermann metal strip driers arising from special design requirements on site or for any operational reasons can be easily dealt with.
If required, Münstermann can supply units with the complete electrical equipment including the necessary control units.
Advantages through flexibility
The metal strip driers are extremely variable in their design. The following parameters can be adapted:
- Installation of flange type fans in conditions of confined space
- Variable adjustment of the height of the centre line (horizontal model) above the mounting level by modification of the design of the feet
- Adjustment of the maximum operating temperature by altering the thickness and make-up of the insulation
- Strip slack span is possible (horizontal model) by variation of the height of the nozzle boxes above the strip.
- Different geometry of the strip by adjustment of the distance between strip and nozzles
