Abstract

Drying the coated paper is considered one of the most significant phases in the coating process, as concerns the quality of the coated paper produced. The effect of drying on the binder migration, the setting of the pigment particles and, hence, the formation of the coating structure is extremely critical in the coating color consolidation point. The need to develop a reliable drying model for coated paper is obvious. The model should allow predicting the effect which the drying will have on the quality of the product. The variables calculated by the model are the evaporation rates, the absorption rate of water from the coating color into the paper, and the development of the mass and heat transfer within the color and the base paper in the course of drying. Based on the calculation results, the paper quality, primarily the development of mottling, at the different drying modes is predicted.
