aLITE®-platform technology on the rise in the textile industry

The adphos group in Bruckmühl, Bavaria, has a leading technological role in the field of industrial thermal processes with the company’s own patented aNIR® and aLITE® platform technologies. The electrothermal adphos technology enables coating, printing, dyeing, and impregnation processes to dry and fix within seconds. This is especially true on temperature-sensitive materials such as textiles and non-woven fabrics.

At the techtextil convention (April 23rd – April 26th, 2024) you can learn more about the latest application-optimized and customer-specific solutions that

New and expanded adphos application center

adphos moved into the completely modernized technical center at its headquarter in Germany. Thus, the possibilities for testing are greatly enhanced thanks to an advanced pilot plant available both for use to the adphos experts and their customers for testing and training purposes.

In the spacious premises with a wide range of versatile equipment, almost all scenarios of thermal drying, heating, sintering or curing can be simulated and improved. The possible applications range from thin film drying and thermal processes to thick film (especially relevant in the battery production),

aNIR® heating booster controls/improves steel quality

In a thin-strip plant of a leading international American steel group, a Castrip-plant has been upgraded with an aNIR® heating booster and put back into successful commercial production operation for improved “hot roll quality” after only one week of commissioning.

Thanks to the aNIR® (advanced NIR)-technology based photonic high-performance heating booster “NIR-Rollheater 1800” developed by adphos, local temperature differences caused by impurities before the quenching rolls are corrected and a homogeneous temperature distribution is achieved, resulting in significant improvements

Water-based décor printing on plastic films now energy-efficient and CO² emission-free

After just two weeks of commissioning, a commercial production line is now available to a leading international décor printing company.

Thanks to the newly developed aLITE (advanced Light Initiated Thermal Emission) technology from adphos, the energy-efficient and completely CO²-free production of water-based decorations on PVC films is now possible. The aLITE drying solution combines high-power photonic energy input with temperature-controlled impingement air to achieve local vapor absorption with defined moisture removal. For the first time, this enables quasi-spontaneous

adphos will introduce its new adphosNIR®-dryer modules at Labelexpo Europe 2017

adphos will introduce at Labelexpo Europe 2017, September 25-28, 2017 in Brussels, its new dryer series for label/narrow width printing applications and the current generation of adphosNIR® dryer modules designed for mono and process color inkjet as well as flexo printing applications for both continuous web and sheet fed applications.

adphos will also be introducing its new NIRPin® series of dryers for the pinning of Hybrid (water/solvent) UV inks as a substitution for UV-LED´s. NIRPin® modules are as compact as UV-LED´s, but allow higher pinning performance and lower investment costs.… Read more


Instantaneous Drying of Textile Printing Inks

adphos announces its newest development of instantaneous drying for textile printing applications – ready now just for FESPA.

adphosNIR® – a company owned and widely patented system technology – is already established in graphical and packaging printing drying, as well as metallic coil coating drying/curing.

In textiles, whether for instantaneous drying of a sublimation paper printed pattern or a printing pattern directly on the textile itself (screen as well as inkjet) now the adphosNIR® drying technology has been proven successful.

Special benefits like:
  • Instantaneous
