Dryers for felts and other non-wovens

Considering that most non-electrically conductive (ie. dielectric) substrates containing water can be dried quickly, uniformly, efficiently and with optimal quality results by means radio frequency, during the years STALAM has developed and supplied specific drying equipment suitable to process a wide range of textile, technical-textile and related products.

Some of these special applications concerning the technical textiles industry are listed below:

• the drying of woollen felts for clothing or industrial use, after impregnation, in the form of sheets and disks;
• the drying of non-wovens, thick webs, impregnated fabrics, padded clothes, etc.
• the drying of elastic bands, narrow fabrics, lace, strings, cords, nets, etc.
• the drying and pre-heating of defective or waste synthetic fibres (mainly PA, PES, PP) after washing, to be recycled in pellet form, off-line or in-line with the extrusion equipment;
• the drying of washed and hydroextracted thread waste and rags;
• the drying of short-cut, high-porosity reinforcement fibres (cellulose, acrylic, aramide, etc.);
• the drying of basalt fibres;
• the drying of bleached hydrophilic cotton fibres for medical, sanitary and cosmetic use;
• the drying of raw or processed hemp, flax, ramie, coir, jute and sisal fibres;

…and many others.
