Voith develops new line of high-quality fabric dryer

May 24, 2013 - Germany

Evaporite, a new product line of high-quality dryer fabrics, is the newest innovation Voith has brought onto the market.

Maintaining drying efficiency and sheet runability through the life of a dryer fabric is a key cost driver for the performance of a paper machine. The Evaporite dryer fabrics impress with their outstanding durability and efficiency, their contamination resistance and easy cleaning.

They feature the new “CleanWeave” design and “SynStron” material which has a significantly higher durability than conventional polyester yarns.

The open structure, low yarn cross over points and minimum internal void volume are unique to the “CleanWeave” structure and thus reduce contamination of the fabric. Effective evaporation is therefore ensured over the entire service life of the fabric.

Moreover, the compact fabric structure makes cleaning of the surface a lot easier either when manually cleaning or with online cleaning systems such as DuoCleaner Express from Voith.

EvaporiteHigh is also part of this product line. This dryer fabric design is characterized in particular by an increased open surface and a high degree of web contact. All Evaporite dryer fabrics ensure efficient runability thanks to their “CleanWeave” fabric structure.
