2. Double Facers - Heating Section : What do we do ? New Equipment

3. Double Facers – Traction Section : What do we do ?

4. Heat Transfer System : What do we do ? 2008 Launch of a new Heat Transfer System for all makes of Corrugators

5. The Double Facer from this to this !

6. When did it all start ? In 1990, the first totally Weight Roll free Double Facer started production at Ondulati Maranello in Italy. This was called : Shortpress

7. A True Success Story • Since 1990 over 4,200 Shortpress modules have been installed on more than 560 Double Facers and Pulling Sections.

8. Belt-less Heating Section • More than 50 Shortpress Belt-less installations have been made in different countries around the World. • In the USA, one customer has now converted 15 Corrugators to run Belt-less.

9. Carton Sultana, Mexico

10. Helping our Industry • Shortpress has and still is rewarding customers with massive savings in Paper, Energy and Starch. • The Preferred Heat Transfer System for Mitsubishi Double Facers.

11. So, why develop a newHeat Transfer System ? • Reduce the cost. • Simplify and improve the design. • Increase the performance. • To apply the minimum pressure only where and when needed. • Make it more Operator-friendly. • One system that works perfectly in both Belted and Belt-less applications.

12. A New System is Born

13. BenefitsReduce the cost • Simpler design. • Elimination of expensive control equipment. • Larger surface contact area results in fewer modules being required. • No spares required. • Easy to retrofit.

14. BenefitsSimplify the Design Elimination of : • Air Cylinders • Lift Mechanisms • Compression Springs • Solenoid Valves, etc.

16. EXAMPLE 1 EXAMPLE 2 BenefitsTypical Shoe System THE BELTS TENDS TO STOP GOOD EVACUATION OF EVAPORATED WATER SHOES BLOCK OFF THE EDGE OF THE BOARD AND DAMAGE THE BELT BELT SHOES ARE RAISED RESULTING IN LACK OF BONDING ON THE EDGES

17. Benefits System 100% COVERAGE RIGHT UP TO THE EDGE OF ANY PAPER WIDTH UNIQUE PRESSURE PLATE DESIGN BELT HOT PLATE

18. PLATE RAIL BRACKETS INSIDE EACH MODULE

19. BenefitsIncrease the Performance • Unique ability to give a ‘Kiss-Touch’ enables very small pressures to be applied on light-weight board. • The ‘Kiss-Touch’ also results in a reduction of Main Drive power consumption resulting in huge cost savings. • The only applies enough pressure where and when it is needed, whether you are producing Super Light-Weight board or Triple -Wall Board.

20. BenefitsMore Operator Friendly • Easy to clean. • Easy to set up. • Simpler Operator Controls. • Air-pressure adjustment (Patented) gives infinite control.

21. Typical Roll Configuration 4 Rollers in point contact with Belt/Board Weight of rollers = 60 kg x 4 = 240 Kg Contact Area = 500 cm² Stress = Load = 240 = 0.48 Kg/cm² Area 500

22. Configuration Air pressure to deliver the same ‘load’ Weight = 240 kg Contact Area = 60x250 = 15,000 cm² Stress = Load = 240 = 0.016 Kg/cm² Area 15,000 ‘Stress’ on the board reduced by 96.7%

23. Even the best Hot Plates Deflect • The guarantees to follow even the smallest amount of deflection in any make of Hot Plate with the minimum amount of pressure being applied to the board. • This is very important whether you are producing Super Light-Weights or Super Heavy-Weights !
