The Dollfus & Muller open mesh conveyor belts are used to dry, to shrink and to stabilize the fabric in tensionless & relax dryers.
The fabric, which has been stressed during earlier processes (knitting, dyeing & squeezing), needs to be relaxed. This is usually achieved by agitating the fabric between two belts, either by hot air (between 150 & 180°C/ 300 & 350°F) or other mechanical means.
Aramid belts, PTFE-coated fibreglass belts, PTFE belts, Kevlar belts are available for relax dryers ; Dollfus & Muller has the widest range of dryer conveyors worldwide.
Dollfus & Muller open mesh textile conveyor belts allow an optimal drying and are of high dimensional stability specially for the wider width. Specific dryer belt constructions have been developed to avoid any marking for very sensitive fabrics such as low-weighted knitted fabrics or silk. As well, Dollfus & Muller has the strongest dryer belts available in order to be long lasting even with very old machines.
