Ultrasonic Welding, Fluid Dynamics
ID: 717732
Georgia, USA
Expert integrated old and new technology in the invention and subsequent development of a low-frequency, non-resonant acoustic dewatering system for high-speed, ambient temperature drying of paper tissue and other materials to produce softer products and to reduce manufacturing costs. This process improvement resulted in efficiencies that generated operating costs only a fraction of that for existing manufacturing systems.
