ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for removing moisture from a porous textile web. The web is passed sequentially through a plurality of drying regions, dividing each of the drying regions into an upper drying zone and a lower drying zone. Air is drawn through the traveling web by variable speed fans disposed in the drying regions, the air forced by each of the fans into an air passageway having fluid communication with all of the upper drying zones and separated into air channels by divider panels. The fans are operable to maintain differential fluid pressure across the web in each of the drying zones, with the differential fluid pressure being greatest in the drying region last traversed by the web and decreasing at each of the drying regions upstream thereof so that the lowest differential fluid pressure is maintained in the first drying region, a portion of the air from each fan being caused to be recirculated to the upper drying zone above the respective fan and a portion of the air being passed to the upper drying zone of the respective adjacent upstream drying zone.
