Voith is the only provider in the whole paper and non-woven industry offering a complete range of non-contact drying and web guiding components including high-efficient infrared systems. Our innovative product portfolio combines outstanding performance and highest reliability.
... be contactless, fast, gentle and energy-efficient, as well as a stable web run and meet small space requirements. It is important that the freshly coated paper or board web is dried as soon as possible to avoid damage to the web surface and deposits on dryers and paper or board rolls. For more than 40 years, we have been dedicated to non-contact drying, being today's only provider of the entire range of non-contact drying and web guiding components in the market. We are your experts for every non-contact drying application!
Our product portfolio for non-contact drying systems
qDry Pro – The future of non-contact drying
qDry Pro is a space- and energy-saving drying concept that combines infrared and air drying. The energetically coupled air hood is heated solely by the IR waste heat and thus does not require its own heat source. Find more details in the product brochure.
CB-Turn – Non-contact web turn device for high-quality paper
Compared to conventional air turns, the bearing surface portion of the CB-Turn is significantly greater and thus reduces the air volume needed to create the air cushion by approximately 30%. Air impingement nozzles and the patented diffuser wings at the web inlet and outlet reduce the amount of air diffused, which as a result stabilizes the air cushion and web run.
The InfraAir systems from Voith are contact-less drying systems that transfer thermal energy to the web via radiation, ensuring uniform heating of the web. InfraElectric is a contactless drying system that is used in pre-drying after coating units. Continuous power control allows precise output control from 0 to 100%. More information can be found in the product brochure.
The HCB-Turn is a combination hot-air drying and non-contact web turning system. It is used after coating units to ensure a stable web run. The HCB-Turn can be heated both with steam and gas up to 400°C. The back absorption between the blast nozzles and at the head ends prevents thermal loads in the surrounding area and associated energy losses. Find all benefits in the product brochure.
TurboDryer S – Output capacity increase in the dryer section
The space-saving TurboDryer S module fits perfectly into the geometry and environmental conditions of existing dryer sections. Depending on the paper grade, the hot air hood with recirculating air supplies exactly the right amount of additional thermal energy to increase the speed and output of your dryer section. See more information in the product sheet.
Manufacturers of coated grades are faced with increasing demands for higher productivity, stricter regulations and lower operating costs. At the same time, process efficiency must continuously improve. That is why our dedicated engineers continuously work to support our customers with innovative emitters to ensure maximum performance and highest availability.
With our new gas-fired HelioX infrared emitter, we offer a particularly efficient solution for contactless drying which also impresses thanks to lower emissions. Not only can the new emitter be used to increase productivity, the reduced fire risk also improves safety in paper production. Find all details about the new generation of emitters in our emitter brochure.
HelioX melds high efficiency, low emissions and high performance. This innovative IR emitter is the answer to the ever increasing demands and we are pleased to offer our customers a unique product also in terms of sustainability.
Kirstin Winterfeldt, Head of Sales and Productmanagement
HelioX is specially designed for
high power applications
minimum emissions and optimal combustion due to increased surface geometry (TOC, NOx)
highest thermal efficiency through maximized internal energy exchange
Due to its high temperature resistant front, consisting of metal bars, the V8 emitter combines robustness and high power over a long lifetime. It is ideally suited for applications where very intensive infrared drying is required and space for drying is limited. The V8 emitter can be used in all kinds of installation positions.
V8 is specially designed for
high-power applications at maximum temperatures
long lifetime applications
demanding conditions (e.g., web breaks)
homogenous heat transfer due to special frame design
If your focus lies on cost-saving versatility, our economic solution V6 is the perfect choice. The combination of ceramic material used for the nozzle plate and the fine-meshed metal grid protecting the surface makes this low-cost emitter very popular among our customers. The V6 grid design minimizes the frame effect, ensures a very homogenous heat transfer and unfolds a high overall efficiency.
V6 is specially designed for
maximum cost efficiency
applications demanding long lifetime
reliable operation due to energy-optimized grid design
For positions next to coaters where harsh conditions occur, the robust K6500 is your perfect choice, because the gas nozzles are optimally protected against outer influences. The emitter plates woven in the metal grid are arranged directly above the nozzles. This optimizes the heat transfer while simultaneously protecting the gas nozzles from splashes.
K6500 is specially designed for
demanding environments (splashes, shock, air streams)
cross-directional profiling
perfect energy transfer leading to low operating costs
all typical gas types due to its special gas nozzle design
