Reduced Contamination: Innovative Dryer Fabrics from Voith
Voith, Germany, is bringing innovative dryer fabrics onto the market that translate reduced contamination to increased drying capacity due to their special design. Jade dryer fabrics, from the CleanWeave product line, have minimal internal void volume and so carry significantly fewer deposits than conventional dryer fabrics. The high number of contact points and the flat yarns facilitate effective heat transfer and paper sheet handling. The compactness of the fabric structure makes both manual cleaning as well as online cleaning systems such as DuoCleaner Express from Voith more effective.
The SynStron yarn material used in Jade makes the dryer fabric effective in resisting fibrilation so that it facilitates easy cleaning. Synstron is used in the entire CleanWeave product line and is noticeably more effective than conventional polyester yarns in resisting abrasion.
JadeHigh expands the product line with a more open surface ensuring stronger air flows for increased evaporation. Like all dryer fabrics in the CleanWeave product line, Jade and JadeHigh show measurable differences in their ability to maintain an easy clean structure which contribute to a more efficient drying process.
