Through-air dryers remove water or solvents from air-permeable products by uniformly transporting heated air through the entire thickness of the product. This technique creates exceptionally high heat transfer rates. Through-air design is ideal for rapid drying of porous products such as nonwovens, fabrics and fibers. Through-air is also a good choice for curing, heatsetting or thermal bonding similar products.
