Optimization of Spray Manifold for Paper Treating

From Spraying Systems Co.
 

 

A paper products manufacturer uses several flat spray nozzles in a manifold arrangement with multiple headers for the purpose of treating paper stock with a chemical formulation. Flat spray nozzles are commonly used for chemically treating paper stock. The customer switched to a different chemical formulation and noticed heavy spotting on the paper stock. The spray application needed to be optimized in order to eliminate the spotting problem. Improper nozzle spacing and overlap typically characterize spotting problems.

Collect volumetric distribution data for a single nozzle header system using a nozzle patternator. Optimize the single header system by adjusting the header parameters (distance to target, and nozzle spacing) to achieve the best possible overlap among the nozzles on the manifold. This distribution was then shifted and summed together to simulate the multiple header manifold system.
