Single-Belt Ovens – Drying

In nonwoven production, single-belt ovens are primarily used for drying and thermofusing lightweight nonwoven layers – such as in the manufacturing of hygiene products like ADL nonwovens. The demands on the process belts used are high: they must run stably at high speeds, operate without leaving marks, and ensure uniform drying.

Benefits

GKD process belts for single-belt ovens offer excellent flatness. They ensure safe guidance of delicate nonwovens at production speeds of up to 300 m/min. The mark-free hook seam prevents imprints on the product, while the robust construction guarantees long service life and minimal downtime.

Solution

Metallic process belts with optimized hook seam technology are used for mark-free processing. The belts are specifically designed for through-air drying in single-belt ovens and offer high mechanical strength and temperature resistance.

Typical Features

Excellent flatness for stable guidance at high speed
Mark-free hook seam for delicate nonwoven products
High temperature resistance for thermofusion processes
Long service life due to robust construction
