For a better introduction of the knitted fabric and its shrinkage adjustment, Dollfus & Muller is supplying different kinds of PTFE-coated sheets (100% modified PTFE, or with Kevlar® and fibreglass fabrics) of all thicknesses which can be used on the compactors or tensionless dryers.
Inside the Santex dryers, the PTFE-coated sheet is also called Jumping device, it is used to give the overfeed at the entrance of the dryer.
The Teflon® TAMIP T00/140 has the particularity to have a much longer life than the other products available, but has a different maintenance : you cannot cut it when its end is damaged.
