Through-air dryers and ovens are extremely efficient for drying or heating porous products such as nonwovens and fabrics, whether your application requires drying a coated or saturated substrate, curing, fusing, heat setting nonwovens or thermal bonding fibers. Heated air volume is pushed through the material thickness, directly heating fibers, achieving unparalleled high heat transfer.
Pyradia has extensive experience in through-air thermoforming batch ovens for nonwoven blanks heating. Multiple Tier-1 automotive manufacturers are producing high quality and precisely defined interior components such as carpets, dashboards, headliners and other components, using Pyradia thermoforming ovens.
Flat pass through-air dryers can be equipped with polymer mesh or steel wire-mesh belts for supporting the product. Rotary drum dryers are compact solutions ideal for fragile materials, precisely controlling line speed, temperature, and airflow through the material, enabling precise optimization of the drying process.
Through-air dryers precise temperature and airflow controls allows processing a wide range of substrates, from delicate lightweight nonwovens to thick fiber battings. Through air drying is a gentle process that minimizes heat damage or distortion of sensitive materials, drying delicate substrates without compromising their structural integrity or performance.
Pyradia through-air dryers can accommodate web width from 12in to 120in wide, or more, with temperature range up to 400°F, and have no limitation on length.
With over 50 years of experience, extensive process knowledge, drying modeling software and pilot drying equipment, Pyradia engineers will analyse your specifications and recommend the ideal dryer configuration for optimal process efficiency.
