ZYEX products - both as monofil and multifil yarns - are used in specialist conveyor belt applications, to allow the drying or heat treating of products that are being continuously carried on their surface.
Constructions are often open mesh and can vary from many meters wide and many hundreds of meters long to narrow woven process tapes only a centimetre wide and half a metre in length.
Nonwoven fabric production, the drying of textiles and high loft papers, food processing and the transfer of powders are all active applications.
Joins in conveyors - consisting of interlocking heat set monofil spirals held together by single straight 'pintle wire ' monofils - are used not only for 100% ZYEX fabrics but often to more securely join conventional nylon or polyester conveyors.
Assembling large numbers of interlocking ZYEX spirals into conveyor structures or roll coverings is also a practial approach to a high permeability high tech product.
