Large quantities of water have to be removed when manufacturing paper. Firstly, the fresh paper webs are squeezed between large rollers. Then hot air is frequently used during the final drying process that takes place after this. After that, the paper is ready to be rolled up and transported.
Huge quantities of paper are subsequently consumed when printing all kinds of publications. The printing ink has to dry immediately on the fast-running printing machines to prevent ink set-off. The use of hot air allows the sheets or rolls to undergo further processing in next to no time.
Another widespread application of hot air in the paper processing industry is the lamination of paper with plastic film. Hot air is also used during this process.
