JET-FREE AND HIGHLY EFFICIENT?
NO CONTRADICTION AT FMP! EXCELLENT COATING QUALITY WITH HIGHLY UNIFORM DRYING
Experienced users of coating technology are aware that not only the coating, but also the drying process has a decisive influence on the quality of the coated product. Since drying processes are evaporation processes, the air flow above the coating plays an important role.
With an innovative, freshly patented process, FMP Technology GmbH launches a dryer on the market that makes it possible to dry much more uniformly without impact jets. Higher drying rates compared to conventional impact jets are also achieved
FMP Technology GmbH combines innovation with proven industrial practice. Within the product range, the SenDry series meets the highest demands with regard to uniform heat input. Another newly patented product-series, PureDry, enables perfect floating operation over many metres at the request of our customers with a higher and considerably more uniform heat input at the same time.
Cooperations with established dryer manufacturers enable us to build directly on existing industrial experience with new innovations and to supply turnkey industrial drying systems .

TAILOR-MADE PRECISION
As a so called pre-dosing coating process, the slot-die technology is one of the most precise application processes on the market. At the production level, FMP Technology GmbH has succeeded in recent years in producing reproducibly high-precision slot-dies. Crucial aspects, such as the final determination of the uniform distribution by means of well-founded analysis technology in connection with manual lapping processes, take place directly within the company.
Thanks to our profound process knowhow (empirics, numerics and analytics), we can offer you, as our customer, exactly the slot-die with the best value for money for your process. Well-founded analytics allow us to distribute the fluid to be coated across the width in a wide variety of distribution chamber designs. FMP Technology follows the principle: “As simply as possible, as complex as necessary”
However, the slot-die system is not yet complete with a single slot-die. Only in harmony with other components, such as the applicator and the conveyor system, can a flawlessly running interaction be achieved. Over many years, various conveyor systems have been developed in-house. Together with partners, FMP Technology GmbH has supplied commissioned plants in a wide variety of widths according to specifications. With us you get slot nozzle systems from one casting, tailored to your respective application.

MONODISPERSE DROPLET GENERATOR
The sprays of conventional spray nozzles always have a large number of different droplet diameters and thus wide droplet diameter distributions. However, some applications, such as calibrating measuring instruments or producing particles by spray drying and crystallization, require that all droplets have the same diameter. The monodisperse droplet generators from FMP Technology GmbH enable the production of such continuous droplets (chains) with monodisperse diameter distribution. Drop sizes from 40 to 1000 µm are possible. Different liquids can be processed.
We would be pleased to advise you on your specific application. We can draw on our experience from past projects and work with you to find the right solution for your problem. All components necessary for the operation of monodisperse droplet generators are available from FMP Technology GmbH.
We are happy to realize your specific requirements.

FMP-Technology GmbH was founded by Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Durst as a spin-off from the German Friedrich-Alexander-university in Erlangen-Nuremberg in 2006. The ambition of the company was no less than providing existing knowhow of the university to the industry. Over the years, FMP technology developed a core business in the coating- and drying-industry. This resulted in the division „Coating- and drying-technology“ with approx. 25 employees. The company is managed by Prof. Dr. Eggerath.
„From my point of view, the market is in need of companies which, based on sound knowledge, set new impulses with innovation. Against this background, I always enjoy entering the premises of FMP Technology GmbH in the morning to work with my employees on exciting new products. These include our new dryer patent, which is already used in our convection dryers. With flexible and process-technically sound slot nozzle designs, we also want to revive the market with a high degree of customer orientation. An exciting year 2019 is waiting for us!“
(CEO Prof. Dr.-Ing. Daniel Eggerath)

LITHIUM-ION-BATTERY-PRODUCTION
The battery cell production sector is experiencing a renewed upswing following a temporary investment slump in Europe. This is not least evident from the planned billions in federal government funding in the “Giga-Factory” area for battery production.
In this context, FMP Technology GmbH would like to make its contribution in the field of coating and drying technology. The aim is to develop a slot die tailored to battery slurry coating that clearly stands out from Asian competitors. In addition, the advantages of an jet-free FMP drying technology are to be adapted to the requirements of battery slurry drying, which is largely limited by diffusion.
Further attention will be paid to intelligent process monitoring (quality gates, etc.). New algorithms will be used to control and regulate processes more efficiently.
We are currently involved in the following research projects:
- EVOLI2S
- DaLion 4.0
SPRAY- AND DROPLET GENERATION
A frequent conflict of objectives in the field of spray and droplet generation is the production of very fine droplets at low flow rates and feed pressures, especially when atomization is not possible due to additional process gas or very small nozzle diameters. This problem requires the use of alternative and innovative spray technologies.
FMP Technology GmbH has carried out development projects for the development of such spray processes. These developments resulted in nozzles based on twin-jet spray technology and the atomization process by modulating drop impact. An important field of application for the developments mentioned is the injection of fuel, urea-water solutions or water in combustion engines.
A further field of application is heating devices operated with liquid fuel for small outputs. For this application, a liquid burner for heating oil was developed within the framework of a ZIM cooperation project with the Engler-Bunte-Institute, Chair of Combustion Technology of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.
The results of the research work were partly published in the form of scientific articles:

NANO COATING
Slot die technology is often used where the highest precision is required with regard to the uniform distribution of the coating medium. Often these are so-called nano-layers, i.e. the dry films are in the order of nanometers. Another important aspect is the often small fluid volumes that are processed. This means that the slot-die needs to be effective for the smallest fluid volumes to be able to produce these coatings with small fluid quantities.
FMP is currently involved in the following research projects in this field:

22.10.2018 | DRYING IS MORE THAN HOT AIR
Lecture by Prof. Eggerath at the 43rd Munich Adhesives and Finishing Symposium 2018
Drying plays a decisive role ...
… in any coating process with dissolved solids. Not only because it represents the most energy-intensive section in the plant, but also because it has a decisive influence on the final coating quality.
As part of a doctorate, industrial aspects of drying will therefore be examined in more detail from this year, in addition to other topics. The aim is to provide practice-relevant results that will enable industry to design its processes to be energy-optimised and quality-efficient.
This presentation is intended to provide a brief scientific introduction to drying. It will be shown that drying processes are much more complex than one would initially imagine. Drying therefore rightly continues to be an area with many scientific questions. The core topics, which are to be dealt with in this thesis, are listed and explained.
13.08.2018 | CHANGE OF MANAGING DIRECTOR AT FMP TECHNOLOGY GMBH
Dear customers and business partners, ...
… 12 years ago FMP Technology was successfully spun off from the University of Erlangen by Prof. Durst. Since then, products have been developed in the fields of coating and drying technology as well as injection nozzle technology for internal combustion engines.
In 2017, FMP Technology GmbH started a restructuring process within the company, with the help of which the company with university character will be transferred into a medium-sized company. I would like to take up this challenge with my employees and take this opportunity to introduce myself to you as the new Managing Director of FMP Technology. Having already worked for the company from 2008 to 2012 and after my work for KROENERT GmbH & Co. KG, I am happy to be able to return to the origin of my industrial activities. I am particularly pleased that Mr. Durst will continue to support the company in an advisory capacity.
What does that mean for you as a customer?
On its way to becoming a medium-sized company, FMP will focus on offering processes in the areas of coating (with the main focus on slot die technology) and drying technology. The offer package ranges from a well-founded process analysis to the execution of feasibility studies to the delivery of a solid mechanical engineering. The process should be transparent and understandable for you. FMP Technology GmbH will position itself flexibly in the distributor design of the nozzle in order to offer you, the customer, the best solution.
I have full confidence in the manufacturing competence of FMP Technology GmbH which has been developed in the last years. The same is true for the drying process, which for many is still some kind of black box in which we now want to bring light.
A well-founded process analysis, feasibility studies, the supply of solid dryers and a cooperative partnership during commissioning is the declared commitment of FMP Technology GmbH.
