At Filtration 2010, Aeroglide showcased equipment for through-air drying, thermal bonding, heat setting, curing and finishing for the nonwovens industry.Applications include spunlace-hydroentangled, airlaid, wetlaid, spunbond (SMS composites), coated and foam impregnated webs.
Buhler Aeroglide can offer alternative equipment such as single and multi-pass flat bed through-air driers for high loft and loose web nonwoven applications that require gentle through-flow processing and support throughout the heating processes.
Process features include the following: energy efficient, integral heating and air handling components; tension-free web control capabilities; numerous full-height perimeter access doors; efficient, non-conductive panel design minimizes heat loss up to 750°F (399°C); zoning and advanced airflow management guarantee uniform processing and high quality product; heating configurations include electric, gas, steam, and hot oil.
With more than 150 drum installations since the 1970s, the National Drying brand of Buhler Aeroglide has some of the highest evaporation rates in the industry and have set a new standard in efficient thermal bonding, heat setting and drying of all types of nonwovens and fibers. Multiple drum driers are ideal for applications requiring high line speed, extended dwell time and in-line temperature profiling for drying, thermal bonding or cooling. Single drum drier designs feature high evaporation rates for short dwell time, high speed, delicate web or single sided contact applications. Drums are either standard perforation for a wide variety of applications or are reinforced structurally for high vacuum, high speed applications.
