Expansion coating platform

Second Thermo-dryer to expand coating and finishing platform

Centexbel has equipped its textile coating & finishing platform with a second thermo-dryer. Our research activities in the field of novel and innovative coatings demand a constant investment in excellent equipment.

The application, drying and curing of these coatings under controlled conditions is of the utmost importance. The coatings are dried and cured in an oven, aka a thermo-dryer. A good oven allows controlling and modifying the temperature during the drying and curing processes. Samples are covered with a coating and then inserted into the oven.

Centexbel uses this type of thermo-dryer for more than 30 years. Two years ago, one of the ovens has been replaced by a better performing model for a better control of the temperature, air speed and air distribution and also allowing a superior application of the coating paste.

We recently decided to add a second thermo-dryer to expand our capacity even further.
