Radio Frequency Co., Inc.

In-Line Radio Frequency Drying System for Sewn and Perfect-Bound Books Using Water-based Adhesives Benefits: * Use water-based glue at high production speeds. * Bind continuously in-line without handling and stacking before trimming. * Binder-to-trimmer time is reduced. Eliminates trimmer blade fouling. * Glued area of the book is selectively heated and dried, while dry areas receive little or no heating. Minimum cooling is required. * Glue charring, blistering and skinning-over is eliminated. * Requires a fraction of the floor space of conventional dryers. * Efficient use of energy. RF power is instant-on-off. * Improved book quality, flexibility and recyclability. Features: * Compact one-piece design saves floor space. * Four-zone drying applicator for precise control of glue temperature. * High performance electrode arrays resist belt abrasion. * Fast and easy belt replacement. * Automatic mechanical belt tracking. * Adjustable for books .5" (13mm) to 3.15" (80mm) thick. * Opposite-hand dryer configuration is available for dual installations handled by one operator. * Does not radiate heat or affect the working environment. * Macrowave dryers comply with OSHA safety standards and FCC regulations. Custom-design automated glue drying systems are also available for new and existing installations.
