Spooner Industries Limited has been contracted to supply a state-of-the-art ‘TAD’ through air drying and curing system for Saint Gobain Adfors, Czech Republic. The TAD is a key part of a new wetlaid glass fibre mat line to be installed at the Litomyšl plant, scheduled to start up in mid-2021. The Spooner TAD system is designed to provide high throughput whilst maintaining precise cross-machine air profile uniformity, ensuring excellent process performance and high-quality glass mat production.
Regenerative Thermal Oxidiser
In addition, Spooner will supply a regenerative thermal oxidiser (RTO) to treat process exhaust from the drying/curing system prior to its safe release into the atmosphere. The RTO will provide very high VOC destruction efficiency, exceeding local emissions standards, as well as returning energy to the process for maximum thermal efficiency.
Both the TAD & RTO will be designed and manufactured in-house at Spooner’s Ilkley HQ in the UK. Spooner’s experience and expertise in both technologies, allowing it to supply the full ‘thermal package’ was a key factor in Saint Gobain’s decision to choose Spooner for this project.
Saint Gobain
The new production line will complement Saint Gobain’s existing line at the Litomyšl plant and will facilitate organic growth as well as expansion into new markets.
