Overview Stalam's continuous investments in performance and sustainability produced the RF ECO+ series dryers. These high-efficiency RF dryers are engineered for medium and large textile dye-houses to meet high production capacity requirements while optimising productivity per footprint and productivity per cost.

Performance and efficiency RF ECO+ dryers provide rated RF power from 125 kW to 180 kW and yield operating cost savings up to 20% versus previous-generation RF dryers. Designed for continuous operation, they combine high throughput with reduced energy consumption and simplified maintenance.

RF power and electrodes Although capable of delivering high total power, the RF distribution electrodes are sized to maintain low power density on the product, minimising the risk of thermal or fibre damage while ensuring uniform drying.

Air handling and moisture management Innovative air circulation and evacuation systems support evaporation, maximise moisture extraction efficiency and prevent dew or condensation inside the drying tunnel, improving process stability and product quality.

Control and supervision Operation is supervised by CONTROL+, an operator-friendly software suite that monitors key process parameters and provides diagnostic support. CONTROL+ functionality includes:

• RF power delivery management
• Electrode position and voltage control
• Treatment time control or conveyor speed adjustment
• Tunnel temperature monitoring
• Component and circuitry condition monitoring with prompt warnings
• Detailed diagnostics and troubleshooting guidance

Applications Suitable for medium to large dye-houses requiring high-capacity, controlled drying of yarn packages and tops with optimised productivity/footprint and productivity/cost ratios.
