Product catalog summary
Overview: The document discusses STALAM's Radio Frequency (RF) drying technology for glass fibres, highlighting its efficiency and quality benefits over conventional drying methods.
Specifications: The RF dryers are designed for various forms of glass fibres, including direct rovings, assembled rovings, yarns, and chopped strands. They can handle precision-wound direct rovings up to 40 kg, achieving a residual moisture content below 0.1% in 2 to 4 hours, compared to 20-30 hours with traditional methods.
Production Capacity: The dryers offer a production capacity ranging from 2 to 40 tons per day. The largest installations include 6 drying modules in-line, with a total length exceeding 30 meters.
Efficiency and Cost-Effectiveness: The technology reduces drying time by 70-90% and energy consumption compared to conventional systems. It supports continuous, in-line operation with full automation for loading and unloading, reducing labor costs.
Quality Assurance: The RF drying process ensures consistent drying without wet spots, overheating, yellowing, or migration of finishing chemicals. It minimizes dust formation during the drying of chopped strands.
Global Reach: STALAM, established in 1978, is a leader in RF equipment for drying and thermal processing, with over 2300 machines in operation across more than 60 countries. The company exports over 95% of its products and offers comprehensive commercial and technical support worldwide.

Dryers for glass fibres-3

Chopped strands can be dried quickly and efficiently without any air movement, thus reducing almost completely the dust formation in the production department. Other glass fibre products, mainly in the form of bobbins and packages after various kinds of wet treatments, can be perfectly dried down to the desired final moisture content, efficiently and consistently, without any adverse effect on the finishing chemicals. All major glass fibres producers worldwide are already enjoying the benefits of the STALAM Radio Frequency drying technology. High production capacity Production capacity from 2...
