How to Improve Cross-Machine Drying Profiles, 2005 PLACE Conference
Be it a flotation, roll-support, through-air or infra-red dryer, the ability to produce an even drying profile across the entire width of the web is critical for producing a consistent product and achieving high production efficiency. Existing dryers may have inherent drying deficiencies or may develop uneven drying profiles over time. The cause, effect and resolution of several profile problems are discussed with special emphasis on improvements that can be implemented in existing dryers.
