OptiSizer Film - sizer with film application at its best

OptiSizer Film - sizer with film application - offers a functional and innovative design, based on know-how and experience gained through over 200 successful new film sizer installations and rebuilds all over the world. The design of OptiSizer Film has evolved for simple and reliable solutions resulting in easy operation and installation and fast initial start-up, which also makes it the perfect choice for rebuild projects. 

A thin film of size or coating color is applied to the surface of an applicator roll. The film is transferred to both sides of the paper sheet in a nip formed between two transfer rolls. The film application method provides excellent runnability. Simultaneous application on both sides of the sheet also saves space, which provides a competitive advantage in the case of high-capacity investments. 

Multiple production and speed world records set on a number of production lines serve as the best evidence of OptiSizer Film’s capabilities.
