Model: SD-3500 · 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.

Spiral yarn construction delivers ≥70 kN/m MD tensile strength for high-tension dryer sections.
Open weave structure maximizes air circulation and moisture removal.
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.
