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

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),

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

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

Sustainability in our industry has become a focal point as end users expect transparency and change.

In this article, Joseph Link talks about how the textile & apparel industry has neglected its environmental responsibility for too long. As we look towards the future of printing, the adphos Group continues to push the boundaries in revolutionary ways.

Again, a leading Asian battery company has selected adphos proprietary aNIR^® – drying solution for its new processing lines.

This time the drying of barrier coatings for battery separators on temperature sensitive polymer films will be realized in the new production lines with aNIR^®-driers. The aNIR^®-driers enable here drying processes in a fraction of a second, compared of today required 5 to even 10 s with convection dryer-based solutions. With a dryer space requirement of only 10 % of the conventional dryer sizes, now even very compact and low-tension vertical coating lines can

Thanks to the company own developed and widely patented advanced NIR (aNIR^®) drying technology from adphos, now inkjet printing solutions can be offered that closes the gap with analog offset printing.

aNIR^® enables inkjet printing that offers offset quality at a speed of 150 m/min on glossy papers with high ink coverage at top speed.

All that at costs lower than offset at higher run-length as in the past.

The aNIR^®-drying technology allows an ink, ink coverage, substrate, material and format dependent intrinsic dryer power adjustment. So lowest, today’s dryer power configurations and lowest

At TheIJC USA Conference, April 12-13, the adphos group will demonstrate how adphosNIR® technology allows users to dry and cure water and eco-solvent based inkjet inks in fractions of the time, space, and electricity of conventional systems.

BROOKFIELD, WI – March 26th, 2018 – adphos will be demonstrating updates to its family of drying and curing systems specifically designed for improved post-processing and NIR-Instantaneous drying and curing of inkjet inks on temperature sensitive substrates at TheIJC USA Annual Inkjet Conference, April 12-13 in Chicago.
