Flat Yarn Dryer Fabric
PAPTEX Flat Yarn Dryer Fabric is our best-selling dryer section solution, trusted by mills worldwide for its reliable heat transfer and consistent moisture removal. The flat yarn profile creates a smooth, uniform surface that maximizes sheet contact and heat conduction while maintaining engineered air permeability for effective ventilation. Available in two models — SJ22708 (lower permeability for tissue and lightweight grades) and SJ22808 (higher permeability for packaging and board grades) — both feature 100% hydrolysis-resistant polyester monofilament construction rated for continuous operation up to 180°C. The flat profile also minimizes sheet marking, making it suitable for quality-critical grades. Field results from Sun Paper (Shandong) demonstrate a 28% improvement in drying efficiency and a 21% reduction in steam consumption after switching to PAPTEX flat yarn dryer fabrics.

Dryer Fabric
Spiral Dryer Fabric
PAPTEX Spiral Dryer Fabric is engineered for the most demanding dryer section positions — high-temperature, high-tension applications where conventional flat yarn fabrics fall short. The spiral yarn construction delivers ≥70 kN/m MD tensile strength, the highest in our dryer fabric portfolio, combined with an open weave structure providing 400–1,000 CFM air permeability for maximum moisture evacuation. Constructed with hydrolysis-resistant PET spiral yarns (with optional stainless steel reinforcement), this fabric maintains dimensional stability at continuous operating temperatures up to 180°C. The spiral structure also provides natural flexibility that resists edge curl and tracking issues common in high-tension positions. A Thailand customer documented 167% longer service life (8 months vs. 3 months) with deformation reduced from 15% to just 3% after switching to PAPTEX spiral dryer fabric in their kraft machine's hottest dryer group.

Round Yarn Dryer Fabric
PAPTEX Round Yarn Dryer Fabric is purpose-designed for quality-critical paper grades where surface marking must be eliminated. The round monofilament profile creates a smooth, mark-free contact surface while maintaining uniform air flow channels through the fabric structure — ideal for tissue, printing/writing, and specialty paper grades. With 300–700 CFM air permeability and ≥45 kN/m MD tensile strength, this fabric performs reliably at speeds of 400–1,000 m/min with continuous heat resistance up to 170°C. The round yarn geometry also provides natural resistance to contaminant buildup, reducing cleaning frequency. A preferred choice for cultural paper mills and tissue producers where sheet surface quality directly impacts customer satisfaction and product grade classification.

Dryer Fabric
Anti-static Dryer Fabric
PAPTEX Anti-static Dryer Fabric solves a persistent operational challenge in high-speed paper machines: static electricity buildup. Our proprietary carbon-filled conductive yarns are strategically integrated into the fabric structure, creating a controlled dissipation path that safely channels static charges away from the sheet — protecting both product quality and operator safety. With surface resistivity ≤10⁶ Ω/sq and 300–650 CFM air permeability, this fabric maintains standard dryer fabric performance characteristics while eliminating static-related issues: sheet sticking, dust attraction, operator shocks, and fire risk in solvent-based coating applications. Continuous heat resistance up to 160°C. Essential for high-speed printing/writing paper machines, tissue machines with creping operations, and any mill experiencing static-related downtime or quality issues in the dryer section.

Dryer Fabric
Plain Weave Dryer Fabric
PAPTEX Plain Weave Dryer Fabric offers a smooth, flat surface optimized for tissue, packaging, culture paper, and specialty grades where sheet contact quality matters. The straightforward plain weave construction using polyester/hydrolysis-resistant PET monofilament delivers reliable, economical performance with air permeability ranging from 3,000–12,000 m³/m²h. With ≥40 kN/m MD tensile strength and heat resistance up to 170°C, this fabric handles standard dryer section conditions competently. The flat weave surface ensures excellent paper surface properties — particularly important for tissue softness, culture paper smoothness, and specialty grade appearance. An economical choice for mills seeking dependable dryer fabric performance without premium features that may not be needed for their specific application. Particularly popular in smaller and mid-size tissue and packaging mills.
