Oven belts made of glass hybrid fabric are setting new benchmarks in the production of nonwovens

After more than three years of practical application, the results have significantly exceeded the high expectations: In exacting thermal bonding processes, the innovative glass hybrid fabric belts from GKD – GEBR. KUFFERATH AG (GKD) offer impressive process performance and product quality. More and more users are now choosing this type of belt ‒ which was initially predominantly used as a magnetic upper belt in double-belt dryers ‒ as well as a lower belt. Its completely PFA-coated construction of glass strands in the running direction and metal wires in the weft prevents adhesions of adhesive products. This minimizes cleaning intervals and downtimes, while the production speed and tool life far exceed conventional benchmarks.
