ASA
Emulsifying Machines
The compound system for ASA size
The most modern and paper-friendly process is the synthetic sizing process. Usually AKD glue (alkyl ketene dimer) or ASA glue (alkenyl succinic anhydride) is used to make it writable or printable with printing ink. On the one hand, the sizing reduces the internal surface tension, on the other hand, the tear strength of the paper is significantly increased.
Our ASA systems are designed for the production of a homogeneous ASA emulsion on a starch/ASA or water/polymer ASA basis.
Filsize Feeder FS-15
The Filsize Feeder FS-15 is a fully automatic system for the preparation of a highly effective ASA emulsion on a starch/ASA or water/polymer ASA basis.
The starch is introduced by means of a starch dosing system.
This Verdos-developed system produces a ready-to-use emulsion for online dosing.
Through multilayer dosing, the emulsion can be applied to any number of layers in a fully automatic process.
The system is controlled via a Siemens Simatic PLC. Via the touch panel, all parameters required for optimum operation can be entered and all process data can be monitored.
The flow rates of all media are PID controlled. This way, the user only has to specify the required quantities on the touch panel or from an external device via 4-20mA signal or bus.

Filsize Feeder FS-MC
Mechanically controlled
The Filsize Feeder FS-MC is a semi-automatic system for the preparation of a highly effective ASA emulsion on a starch/ASA or water/polymer ASA basis.
Therefore, this system is a cost-effective alternative to the Filsize Feeder FS-15.
The Filsize FS-MC is used for smaller installations.
The ASA flow rate is maintained by a frequency converter controlled dosing pump and monitored by a flow switch.
The starch is introduced by means of a PID controlled starch dosing system.
This Verdos-developed system produces a ready-to-use emulsion for online dosing.
The system is controlled via a Siemens Simatic PLC. Via the touch panel, all parameters required for optimum operation can be entered and all process data can be monitored.
