Qualitek solutions combine the industry's widest range of contact-free moisture application technologies with infrared-reflectance moisture sensors, non-contact temperature sensors, PLC process interfaces and color-graphic operator interfaces. To meet each client's unique needs the company offers steam-based moisturizers (figure 1), air-atomized sprays (figure 3), and water-only sprays, each available in a variety of configurations, with a variety of optional features and accessories. Sample configurations include single or double-sided, profiling or non-profiling (zone-controlled or full-width application), and manually or automatically controlled. A partial list of optional features includes entry and exit edge exhaust systems to remove excess moisture, and/or entry and exit edge air-knives or dams to prevent spillage to the surrounding area, steam-heated structures to prevent condensation, and manual or automatically actuated retraction systems. A sample of available accessories includes water supply systems with filtering and pressure and temperature controls, air supply systems comprising blowers and filters, vapor exhaust systems, and steam conditioning equipment to control steam pressure and quality. |
The company's QualiPac-IR moisture sensors and QualiTemp-HT temperature sensors may be provided as part of an integrated system-solution, or may be purchased separately or for integration into existing systems. When combined with appropriate upstream moisture applicators QualiPac-IR moisture sensors enable accurate and fast, closed-loop moisture control. When mounted at dryer/oven exit positions QualiTemp-HT temperature sensors enable closed-loop dryer/oven control. QualiTemp-HT sensors are also valuable for ensuring that appropriate curing, setting or chilling temperatures are reached between subsequent converting stages. |
