The market for spunlaced nonwovens increased considerably in the last years and will continue to grow in future. Brückner’s (Booth 1S60) new machinery concept ensures uniform drying across the fabric width by adapted feeding of the thermal energy and homogeneous temperature distribution during the complete drying process by a finely tuned air control.

The new throughflow dryer Supra-Flow BH is a modular system, which is absolutely flexible, which can be enlarged anytime and saves a lot of energy. It is characterized by the typical alternating Brückner design, which provides for an absolute uniform air circulation around the fabric throughout the complete drying process. Also the temperature distribution remains constant over the complete fabric length and width. Even with high speeds there is a uniform level of drying and residual moisture in the fabric. The reliable fabric transport is ensured even with the lightest fabric qualities due to a newly developed belt and air fixation of the fabric.

Brückner’s Venturi nozzle, which is installed in every burner unit, provides for an optimum mixture of circulating and fresh air. Flow resistances are minimized which allows considerable savings of energy. An additional reduction of the energy consumption is possible due to the intelligent heat-recovery system. A control system for temperature, circulating air and air humidity adapted to the process provides continuously for optimum conditions in the interior of the dryer. A control system adapting to the line speed is integrated into the line, too.
