Film Coating Industry Treatment Solutions

RTO enables significant air volume reduction from coating machines while efficiently destroying VOC emissions. Their advanced heat recovery technology captures and reuse thermal energy, drastically reducing operational energy consumption and supporting sustainable production.

rto-application-film coating industry

At present, RP Techniek BV rotary RTO has been widely used in VOCs management of release film, protective film, reflective materials, advertising consumables, adhesive tape, polarizer, solar backplane film, aluminum plastic film, lithium battery diaphragm and other enterprises produced by coating process.

Treatment Targets

Organized emissions <50 mg (non-methane total hydrocarbons);
Energy conservation: Only natural gas is used for furnace startup!
In-plant unorganized emissions: Non-methane total hydrocarbons <10 mg/m³;
Post-treatment chimney emissions: Nitrogen oxides <50 mg/m³

Collection of VOCs Exhaust Gas - Air Reduction of Coating Machine

Air Recirculation Between Ovens

Low-concentration exhaust gas from the rear-section ovens is supplied to the fresh air intakes of the front-section ovens for use as makeup air. This stream is generally not introduced into the first two or three high-concentration ovens. This method can effectively reduce the total exhaust air volume of the coating machine.

Coating Head/Adhesive Mixing Room Connected in Series to the Ovens

Low-concentration exhaust gas from the coating head/adhesive mixing room is delivered by a fan to the fresh air intake of the ovens to be used as makeup air (it is generally not introduced into the first two high-concentration oven sections). This method can eliminate the need for separate exhaust systems for the coating head and adhesive mixing room, and avoids diluting the overall concentration by introducing low-concentration exhaust gas into the RTO.
