Air turn for contactless web turning
TurnFloat web turning
TurnFloat is an air turn for contactless web turning. A pad of pressurized air between the paper web and the TurnFloat nozzle surface enables contactless web turning.
Constant nozzle-to-web distance
Adjustable impingement velocity of the air turn nozzles
Constant clearance between air turn and the web
Optimizing runnability
Main benefits of the TurnFloat
