Paper and Textile

Infragas Nova Impianti offers efficient and safe thermal solutions for the paper and textile industries, thanks to gas-powered catalytic infrared technology, ideal for preheating, drying, and thermal treatment of materials.

Thermal Systems for Paper and Textile Industries

Infragas Nova Impianti has years of experience in the thermal energy production with catalytic technology by using natural gas or LPG, largely used in the ovens, drying tunnels and thermal systems for the paper and textile fields.
The advantages offered by the catalytic technology use are:

  • Use of energy source  with low operating cost and with high performance;
  • Flameless technology;
  • Possibility of using this technology in the presence of flammable volatile substances (in turn catalyzed with a consequent reduction of odours and a recovery of energy).
  • No harmful combustion products emission, but only carbon dioxide and a modest quantity of water;
  • Possibility to heat the materials directly without the need of a conduction mean as steam, diathermic oil  or hot air;
  • Rapid and even heating, since the action of the infrared rays penetrates into the piece to be heated;
  • Space-saving dimensions.

 

These characteristics find practice application in the industrial catalytic panels driers and ovens. They are particularly used in the following treatments:

  • preheating
  • drying
  • gelling
  • resins melting
  • extrusion coating
  • latex coating
  • thermosetting
  • thermoforming
  • thermoshrinking.

 

The temperature in our air circulation / irradiating ovens is adjustable from 40 to 500 degrees C° and in comparison with the traditional system, this technology offers the following advantages:

  • low operating cost
  • compact spaces
  • adjustment easiness and temperature maintaining
  • maximum safety and reliability
  • minimum maintenance.

 

Products for paper and textile sectors

Our machines are suitable for the drying after dyeing, impregnation, coagulation and coating.

The catalytic panels allow two treatment systems:

  • Direct exposition to high temperature infrared rays for gelling, melting, thermoforming, plastic sheets retraction, etc.
  • Hot air circulation ovens with low and medium temperatures for drying, resins evaporation, etc.

 

Temperature automatic control with electronic thermoregulator.

The advantages of this technology:

  • Flameless technology;
  • Low operating cost and maximum efficiency;
  • The materials are heated without a conduction mean as the steam or hot air;
  • Quick and uniform heating, the infrared rays penetrate the material.

 

Our systems are the right solution for the preheating, the drying and the thermal treatment of every material. Many applications are working in the Italian textile industry cities, as Biella and Prato.
