Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Plain Weave Dryer Fabric
Plain weave uses a simple over-under weave pattern creating a flatter, smoother surface than flat yarn fabrics. This translates to better paper surface properties — especially important for tissue softness and culture paper smoothness. The trade-off is generally lower tensile strength and higher permeability.

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.

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.
