Physical Modeling of a Through-Air Mat Oven, 1995 Nonwovens Conference Proceedings

Paul A. Klett

Owens-Coming

Physical modeling techniques were used to investigate operating problems of a four-meter wide, through-air oven, which makes fiberglass roofing mats. For the exhaust chamber, equipment modifications which were made before modeling proved to be the cause of cure and wrinkling problems. For the supply chamber, basic design deficiencies were the long-standing cause of a cross-machine cure profile. The results of quarter-scale modeling solved both problems and improved throughput.
