What Dryer Fabric CFM Do I Need?

FAQ

Recommended Dryer Fabric CFM by Paper Grade:

• Packaging: 500-800 CFM
• Culture / Fine Paper: 400-650 CFM
• Kraft: 450-700 CFM
• Tissue (spiral): 300-500 CFM
• Recycled Board: 600-1000 CFM

Important: Higher CFM = better ventilation and moisture removal, but lower sheet contact area. Seam CFM must be within ±10% of the body CFM — mismatched seam CFM causes visible moisture streaks at seam spacing frequency.
