Resin Padding Dryer
Even multi-zone heat for curing resin-treated nonwoven webs.
The resin padding dryer handles fabrics that have already been treated with a resin solution. Its job is to spread heat evenly through the chamber so the resin-coated web dries and cures consistently, with no soft spots or over-baked patches. That evenness carries straight into the finished product's mechanical properties, dimensional stability, and surface quality, which matters most for roofing, insulation, and technical textiles.
The chamber is built in multiple zones, each a separate room with its own temperature and airflow control. That lets operators match the drying profile to the material and the resin formulation instead of running one setting across the whole line. Hot air circulates hard from the top and sides, flows across the surface and through the thickness of the web, then recycles back to hold chamber conditions steady and keep energy in.
Closed-loop control keeps the thermal efficiency up and running costs down, and the machine is built for continuous production. It integrates with upstream padding and downstream finishing so the padded web moves through curing and into finishing without a break. The machine is also called a resin curing oven, padding dryer, or heat-setting dryer.
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
Even heat in every direction
Heat is spread uniformly across the chamber, so the drying stays consistent with no under- or over-dried areas.
Built for resin curing
Optimized for resin-treated webs to cure and bond the resin properly within the fiber structure.
Precise temperature and airflow
Controls adapt to different resin types and material thicknesses.
Closed-loop efficiency
Recirculated air raises thermal efficiency and lowers energy use and operating cost.
Line integration
Connects to upstream padding and downstream finishing for a continuous, automated process.
