[Case Study] Productivity increased by 2.5% with improved heat transfer rate.

A new technology that eliminates the water film on the heat transfer surface, improving productivity! Awarded the "Sasaki Prize" at the 51st Paper and Pulp Technology Association.

We would like to introduce a case where the "Kurita Dropwise Technology" was trialed and evaluated. We received an inquiry from a factory that manufactures paper (pulping) using pulp (plant fibers) extracted from wood chips, seeking ways to improve productivity. In response, we proposed a new technology that changes the heat transfer surface to be water-repellent, eliminating the water film. As a result, the drying time was reduced, allowing for an increase in the pulping speed (the amount of paper produced per unit time). 【Case Summary】 ■ Industry: Paper Manufacturing ■ Technology: Kurita Dropwise Technology ■ Result: Pulping speed increased from 385 meters per minute to 395 meters per minute, improving productivity by approximately 2.5%. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
