The Calendizer™ dry end steam shower optimizes sheet finishing process through temperature and moisture gradient calendaring for improved sheet printability
Overview
What Is It?
The Calendizer™ dry end steam shower optimizes sheet finishing process through temperature and moisture gradient calendaring for improved sheet printability.
How Does It Work?
The Calendizer adds heat and moisture to the sheet by condensing steam on the surface. The sheet surface
becomes more plastic and easier to calender, which results in a smoother sheet without excessive bulk reduction
or strength loss for improved printability.

What Problems Does It Solve?
- Optimize Finishing: Optimize printability, gloss, smoothness, strength and bulk with temperature and moisture gradient calendering.
- Finishing Flexibility: Improve print quality at the same calender loadings, or same print characteristics, providing flexibility in AFT and control over sheet two-sidedness.
- Improve CD Profile: Calendizer improves cross direction (CD) gloss, smoothness and caliper profiles, increasing sheet uniformity and printability.
- Create New Market Potential: Capture new market segments with specialty value-added grades, made possible with Calendizer.
- Reduce Rejects: Reduce waste associated with caliper and quality, and increase production of on-grade product.
