Press release submitted on behalf of adphos.

Adphos, Bruckmuehl, Germany, a company focused on the development of adphosNIR® technology which dramatically reduces the time and space required for thermal processes and provides quantum leaps forward in efficiencies for its global customers, proudly announces that its revolutionary aLITE^® drying and curing technology has been chosen by a prominent Asian steel manufacturer to replace their existing hot air convection oven by integrating an aLITE^®-dryer. The system is 100% electro-thermal and uses a multi-frequency emitting photonic energy technology.

The key benefits reached by the integration of aLITE^® into the existing line are space savings of over 80% and a minimum 66% reduction in energy consumption. The system provides a highly accurate and dynamically controlled coil coating production, which operates fully CO₂ emission-free, supporting sustainable manufacturing practices.

The versatile aLITE^®-processing technology is suitable for all water-, solvent-, and even powder-based surface coating lines. It can be integrated as an upgrade or replacement in existing coil coating process lines, or implemented as a fully stand-alone, instantaneous (3-5 seconds) drying/curing solution in planed greenfield coating lines.

By adopting the aLITE^® Curing System, the Asian steel manufacturer will enhance their production efficiency, reduce operational costs, and significantly minimize their environmental footprint.
