spiral dryer fabric

Product Description

Optimal dryer section runnability is dependent upon dryer fabric performance. our spiral fabrics offer papermakers unique benefits not found with conventionally woven fabrics. Higher Drying Rates Our spiral fabrics are designed to increase drying capacity through increased pocket air volume. Because our spirals are available up to **0cfm, much higher levels of air movement are possible, increasing drying rates. Cases of dramatically increased drying rates have been documented with our spirals. Increased Contamination Resistance The unique construction of our spirals helps reduce the rate of contamination buildup. Level Moisture Profiles Spiral fabrics have a very uniform permeability profile, made possible by our precision manufacturing processes. Because our spiral designs run with minimum seam distortion, the permeability profile is more effectively maintained throughout life, resulting in level moisture profiles and a higher-quality sheet. Nonmarking Because of their high surface uniformity, spirals are also nonmarking. The possibility of seam mark is eliminated with our spirals because there is no seam. The surface of the fabric is identical all the way around. On-machine Repair The unique construction of a spiral allows it to be repaired on a paper machine.Sections can be removed and the remaining fabric pieced back together. Longer Fabric Life Our spiral fabrics do not have a weak link like woven designs. The seam strength in a woven design can often be **- *0% of the fabric body, and is where most woven designs fail.spiral designs have no seam, and as a result, no weak link. Fabric strength is **0% around the entire piece. The advantages are clear,and the results speak for xxxxx the combination of precision products, experience,and processes.
