Introduction to High-Performance Drying Systems

Asahi Kogyo Co., Ltd., based in Minato, Tokyo, announced the launch of a dedicated webpage for their high-performance "Drying Dryer Systems" on May 29, 2026. This initiative is in response to the recent steep rise in solvent prices contributing to increased raw material costs, impacting industries such as film, adhesives, and functional materials that require drying processes. The need for reducing production costs, minimizing drying inconsistencies, and stabilizing quality is becoming increasingly vital in these sectors.

With the announcement of their "19th Medium-term Management Plan" on May 14 this year, the company has positioned the manufacturing and sales of the Drying Dryer System as a key element of their business strategy. They aim to leverage synergies with their equipment construction business to offer total solutions that address a wide range of challenges faced by manufacturing facilities.

Features of the Drying Dryer System

1. Optimal Design Based on Proprietary Simulation
Utilizing a unique simulation model allows for visualizing drying calculation results based on various printing and coating conditions such as substrate type, solvent used, inlet temperature, and operation speed. This simulation informs the design of the thermal equipment, determining parameters such as airflow and supply temperature.

2. Selection of the Best Configuration from Seven Types of Nozzles
The nozzles placed within the ducts ensure the uniform distribution of hot air to effectively dry the coating solvent. Asahi Kogyo offers tailored drying systems by combining these seven types of nozzles based on customer requirements.

3. Adaptability to Various Manufacturing Lines
The evolution of converting technology across industries like AI, semiconductors, and solid-state batteries uses drying systems that are continuously refined by Asahi Kogyo. Their drying solutions play a crucial role in diverse manufacturing lines.

Through the provision of high-performance drying systems, Asahi Kogyo aims to utilize its extensive technical expertise and know-how to robustly support customers in enhancing productivity and stabilizing quality. The launch of the dedicated webpage marks the beginning of a stronger focus on information sharing and proposal activities directed towards their customer base.
