Space restrictions, a frequent concern in web installations, can often be overcome by turning the web to allow for stacked equipment. However, conventional turner bars or sweat rolls require physical contact which can damage the web surface and cause web creasing. MEGTEC offers a better solution -- The MEGTEC Revolution™ Air Turn..
MEGTEC's Revolution™ non-contact air turn allows you the ability to turn a flexible web without damage to the coating or the web. It consists of a pressurized air chamber without a perforated radial surface matching the desired web path. The resulting cushion of air supports the web at a consistent distance from the face, with turn angles up to 300 degrees. The unique semi-circular design is engineered to reduce pressure requirements and air spillage, resulting in energy savings and lower noise levels. The air can also be heated to provide drying or curing.
