What are the material compatibility issues with RTO in the printing industry?

Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTOs) are widely used in the printing industry for their ability to effectively reduce air pollution. However, there are several material compatibility issues that need to be considered when using RTOs in the printing industry. In this article, we will discuss the various material compatibility issues associated with RTOs in the printing industry.

Temperature Limitations

One of the main material compatibility issues with RTOs in the printing industry is the temperature limitations of the materials used in printing.
Many printing materials, such as inks and coatings, have a limited temperature range in which they can be exposed to without undergoing significant changes in their chemical and physical properties.
The high temperatures used in RTOs for the oxidation process can cause thermal degradation of printing materials, resulting in discoloration, loss of gloss, and reduced adhesion.
To mitigate this issue, it is crucial to carefully select printing materials that are compatible with the temperatures used in the RTO process.

Corrosion Resistance

Another important material compatibility issue with RTOs in the printing industry is corrosion resistance.
The RTO process involves the use of corrosive gases, which can degrade the materials used in the construction of the RTO system.
Common materials used in the construction of RTO systems, such as stainless steel and ceramic, are susceptible to corrosion when exposed to high temperatures and corrosive gases over long periods.
To prevent corrosion, it is important to use materials that are highly resistant to corrosion, such as high-grade stainless steel or corrosion-resistant coatings.

Moisture Sensitivity

Moisture sensitivity is another material compatibility issue that needs to be considered when using RTOs in the printing industry.
The air streams that enter the RTO system may contain moisture, which can cause issues when reacting with printing materials.
The presence of moisture can cause ink smudging, paper curling, and other issues that can affect the quality of the final product.
To prevent moisture-related issues, it is essential to ensure that the printing materials are not sensitive to moisture and that the RTO system is designed to remove any excess moisture from the air streams.

结论

Overall, material compatibility is a major consideration when using RTOs in the printing industry. Temperature limitations, corrosion resistance, and moisture sensitivity are just a few of the issues that need to be addressed to ensure that the RTO system effectively reduces air pollution without compromising the quality of the final product. By carefully selecting printing materials and using high-quality construction materials with excellent corrosion resistance, these material compatibility issues can be mitigated.
