Bonding & Dryer Line (Carpet, Artificial)
One-pass fiber bonding and drying for carpet and artificial textiles.
The bonding and dryer line bonds fibers and dries the web in a single coordinated pass, built for carpets and artificial textiles. It takes a loose fiber web and turns it into a stable, durable material with the strength, elasticity, and softness the product calls for. Carpets, artificial turf, bedding, and upholstery all come off lines like this one.
Hot air does both jobs. Multiple chambers, usually 4 to 10, each act as an independent heating zone, so the temperature and airflow can be tuned along the line to suit different thicknesses and material compositions. Strong circulation and high-volume heating keep the result uniform across the full product width, and closed-loop air circulation holds down running cost and environmental impact.
The line covers working widths from 1,800mm (70 in) up to 5,000mm (200 in). Chamber count runs 4, 6, 8, or 10 for staged bonding and drying, heating capacity reaches 3,000,000 Kcal/h for high-volume output, and air volume goes up to 21,000 m3/h for even heat penetration. The modular build lets it tie into upstream forming equipment and downstream finishing or packing. It is also called a thermal bonding line, hot air bonding line, or carpet backing line.
How this stage contributes to the line
Heat distribution is as important as the temperature setting. KSG's dryer designs circulate heat through the chamber, with separate equipment for drying, resin padding and bonding duties. Chamber layout, residence time and the cooling section need to follow the fabric and heating process.

Key Features
Bonding and drying in one pass
A single continuous process combines thermal bonding and drying for better efficiency and consistency.
Multi-zone control
Each chamber sets its own temperature and airflow to tailor the bonding and drying profile.
Modular width range
Working widths from 1,800mm to 5,000mm to match different production needs.
High-volume heating and air
Heating up to 3,000,000 Kcal/h and air volume up to 21,000 m3/h for uniform results across the width.
Closed-loop efficiency
Recirculated air lowers operating cost and environmental impact.
Line integration
Connects to upstream forming and downstream finishing or packing systems.
