The drying device (2) includes a drying chamber (22) with an aeration (ventilating) device (29) and an inlet (18), an outlet (19) and a fluid-permeable conveying device (23) for the running material web (4). The material web (4) is transported within the drying chamber (22) by the conveying device (23) and is dried using a heated gas, in particular air. The drying device (2) additionally has a suction device (5) which locally suctions and discharges liquid, in particular water, which is contained in the material web (4) by a suction flow (6) at one or more suction locations (53) at the material web (4).

Abstract: Recombinant cells expressing membrane transport proteins are provided, along with methods for their use in various applications.

Abstract: An aerodynamic nonwoven forming device (2) for a fibrous nonwoven (10), the nonwoven forming device (2) having a discharge region (6) for fibers, in which the fibrous nonwoven (10) is aerodynamically formed. The nonwoven forming device (2) is incorporated in the discharge region (6) in a furnace (4). The nonwoven forming device (2) has a fiber support (5) which emits a fiber stream (12) in the discharge region (6) into a free area (31) within the furnace (4). The fiber support (5) spins off the fiber stream (12) on a detachment area (22) into the free area (31) in free flight.

Abstract: A method and a fiber-treatment system dry wet or damp fibers. A fiber mat (13) including wet or damp fibers is formed on a treatment band (31) which is moved in a conveying direction (x). An air flow (36, 36a) composed of heated drying air is generated in the fiber dryer (30). The heated drying air is guided in an upward direction through the treatment band and the fibers contained in the fibre mat (13, 14) are loosened and dried. Linters (16) possibly produced by any moving fibers are captured by a filter band (32) arranged above the treatment band, which is also moved in the conveying direction (x). At the outlet of the fiber dryer, the fibers are detached from a support (17) formed on the filter band, in particular when guiding the detached fibers back towards the dried fibers guided to the treatment band (31, 31c).

Abstract: A treatment device (1) and a treatment method for a web (2) of endless material, in particular of a textile fiber material, preferably a non-woven fabric are provided. The treatment device (1) includes a treatment chamber (14) in which the moving web (2) is treated with a flowing gas, in particular air, an inlet (10) and an outlet (11) for the web (2), and a plurality of chamber regions (20-24). The plurality of chamber regions (20-24) are stationarily arranged on top and next to each other. The web (2) runs through the plurality of chamber regions (20-24). In the chamber regions (20-24), the gas, in particular the air, flows against and through the web (2) from one side.

Abstract: A fluid processing system (2) for a fiber treatment system (1), which fluid processing system (2) has a moistening device (6), in particular a water-jet consolidating device, for a textile material web (3) and a preferably thermal drying device (7) for the moist material web (3). The moistening device (6) introduces process water (19) into the material web (3), which process water is removed from the material web (3) in the drying process. The fluid processing system (2) has fluid circuits (9, 10) and a regenerating device (16) for the process water (19) that is introduced into the material web (3) and thereafter removed and for the wastewater (32) arising in the process of moistening the material web (3).

Abstract: A device (1) for uninterrupted winding of a continuously-fed textile material web (3) is provided, which includes four transport mechanisms (11, 21, 25, 27), which form a cage at a beginning of the winding process. The third and fourth transport mechanisms (25, 27) are moved radially away from the winding center as the diameter of the roll (17) increases, and the second transport mechanism (21) is removed.

Abstract: A circulating air oven (1) is provided having nozzle chambers (27), which may be connected to either a pressurized chamber (5), or a suction chamber (39). The flow direction onto the material web (25) can be selected by opening or closing the diversion flaps (79). As each nozzle chamber (27) may be individually connected to the pressure chamber (5) or the suction chamber (49), any desired flow onto the material web can be achieved.

Abstract: At the outlet end (B) of a tentering frame (1), on the side of the tentering frame chains with needle plates (3) there are transport means (11) in the shape of conveyor belts (19) and clamping bands (23), whose runs (19?, 23?) intersect the plane (E) formed by the tentering frame chains (3) at an acute angle (alpha) at a point (X). The needles are removed from the fabric web (39) which is guided in a clamped way during the needle removal by the conveyor belts (19) and clamping bands (23).
