Drying Tunnels

Tunnel dryers

Menschick tunnel dryers have been specifically engineered for installation on coating machines and heat treatment solutions for web material, such as paper, plastic films and paper board. Through sequenced combining of multiple zones of our Menschick nozzle dryer (module AT-U) we can easily design any tunnel length required. Each zone of this individual drying tunnel is equipped with an built-in air fan and air heater. Because of this, drying temperature as well as nozzle discharge can be customized for each zone of the drying tunnel.
