Voith Launches Pyrox and PyroxHigh Dryer Fabrics

Voith, Germany, has launched two new heat-resistant dryer fabrics onto the market-- Pyrox and PyroxHigh. The new fabrics are part of the CleanWeave family of dryer fabrics and were especially designed for dryer sections with moderately high temperatures. Pyrox fabrics are made from a blend of hydrolysis resistant PPS and abrasion resistant PET materials. Like the entire CleanWeave product family, Pyrox and PyroxHigh are produced from SynStron yarn, a material developed by Voith that is especially suited for the challenging conditions of the dryer section.

The proven weave structure of CleanWeave dryer fabrics is incorporated in Pyrox and PyroxHigh. It offers a low internal void volume and minimal yarn crossover points, ensuring contamination within the fabric is reduced. The compact fabric structure simplifies cleaning of the surface to ensure constant permeability. All CleanWeave products from Voith have a stable, easy-to-clean fabric structure, which is unique in the industry. This ensures that the fabric maintains close to its original air permeability, maximizing drying and sheet handling over its entire service life.
