Abstract

The introduction of microwave and other electrical drying techniques to improve the efficiency and throughput of a number of energetically key areas within the manufacturing of printed carpets is presented. A brief outline is also given of current methods and techniques in processing backings for tufted carpets. A detailed technical feasibility study introducing electrical techniques for preheating/curing of SBR backings is also presented.
