Leading Asian Steel Manufacturer Implements Curing System with adphos Technology

Written by

adphos proudly announces that its revolutionary aLITE® drying and curing technology has been chosen by a prominent Asian steel manufacturer to replace their existing hot air convection oven by integrating an aLITE®-dryer. The system is 100% electro-thermal and uses a multi-frequency emitting photonic energy technology.

The key benefits reached by the integration of aLITE® into the existing line are space savings of over 80% and a minimum 66% reduction in energy consumption. The system provides a highly accurate and dynamically controlled coil coating production, which operates fully

Successful start-up of adphos BearLITE® for manufacturing of battery electrodes

Written by

In September, a BearLITE® (Battery electrode advanced rapid Light Initiated Thermal Emission)-based pilot production line for Li-battery electrodes has been started-up successfully at one of the leading Asian battery manufacturers.

The adphos proprietary BearLITE®-drying technology allows the processing and drying of wet electrode coatings in the blink of an eye (less than ten seconds) and is extremely energy efficient, the power consumption of standard convection dryers can be reduced by over 85 %!

The stand-alone solution installed at the customer has proven proper production

Li-battery manufacturers rely on BearLITE®

Written by

Leading Li-battery manufacturers have ordered adphos BearLITE®-systems for electrode production lines.

The adphos developed and proprietary BearLITE® (Battery electrode advanced rapid Light Initiated Thermal Emission) technology is based on the combination of multi-stage, high power, photonic energy emission with an integrated temperature-controlled defined local mass transfer of the vapor during the drying process of the wet electrode slurry.

Different to all other potential drying systems (e.g. hot air convection, infrared, induction, laser or microwave based) BearLITE

Technology that reduces energy consumption and helps the climate – don’t whine, act!

Written by

Everyone, whether in private households or in industry and crafts, has now unmistakably experienced the enormous price increases for fossil fuels for heat and electricity.

Countering these enormous additional costs, even in the short term, certainly involves saving and thus reducing consumption. However, a distinction must be made here as to whether less of the same is used or whether alternative options are used for the respective heat or energy consuming process. In both cases, innovative, efficient technologies are of outstanding importance and the use in the short-term of verified

Gas Dryer Upgrade adhoc saving up to 50% Gas with aLITE® from adphos!

Written by

Gas prices have not only risen extremely – even the gas supply is currently in jeopardy.

Gas dryers are primarily used in many surface coating processes and printing systems, whether for paper, plastic or textile applications. Despite the high consumption, alternative drying systems have not been successful in the past because of the low gas price. Production is currently completely endangered in view of the threatened, reduced and limited gas supply.

adphos offers an immediate solution with the company’s developed and proprietary aLITE® drying technology – a highly

Turning Point – aLITE® – no gas, reduced energy, zero CO2-emissions

Written by

Many dryers in printing and coating systems are fossil, mostly gas-powered.

Large plants, high energy consumption (natural gas), function-related high CO2 release and now even further cost increases due to the gas supply situation, which among other things, entails incalculable, exploding costs due to the current war situation between Russia and Ukraine. There is no end in sight, certainly not in the short-term.

The adphos group, as the technology leader in electrothermal drying and crosslinking systems, is now heralding the turning point and replacing gas dryers and hot-air ovens with

“New aLITE®” – Zero CO2 Emissions and even lower Energy Operation Costs than Gas Convection Systems

Written by

For decades fossil fired convection driers/ovens have been applied in most processing lines.

Whether for flexo, gravure, heat set or screen – printing presses or wet-coating processing of adhesives, lacquering, infiltrations hotair driers have been the industry standard. Even though these driers build large, are not very dynamic and not very flexible for process variation adjust-ments – but low energy operation costs due to the low gas price to electricity price – ratio (mostly < 1/3 even down to sometimes < 1/5!).

So electro-thermal, like induction or infrared process systems have not been competitive. What makes

adphos thermal processing technology is further adapted in battery manufacturing

Written by

In 2021 several thermal process lab and pilot systems for different, even multilayer, battery coating applications and a first high speed separator coating drying system to a leading Asian customer, has been delivered.

Early this year also two aNIR-drying and thermal processing systems for production of sheet fed based battery (electrodes), with a productivity of up to 500 components/h, have been successfully started. Drying and thermal process requirements with adphos proprietary aNIR solutions have been reduced from several minutes/component down to less than 3 seconds (!). This
