Radiant Heaters For Textile Heat Setting And Drying Problem: Papermaker's felts are large woven textile conveyor belts manufactured to transport pulp mash through the various stages of paper making. Uniform temperature is a key requirement in heating an area 4-feet (1.2 m) long by 40- foot (12.2 m) wide on the moving felt. Heat causes the synthetic fabric to heat set and shrink. Shrinkage across the entire 40-foot (12.2 m) width must be kept uniform. Solution: Watlow radiant panel heaters have met the stringent temperature profile requirements for processing this textile. The radiant panel heaters are claimed by the felt manufacturers to increase product quality by supplying a more uniform and controllable heat. Watlow radiant panel heaters have replaced tubular-reflector assemblies, quart
