“…The textile industry consumes a significant amount of energy, most of which is used for textile treatments, particularly during the drying processes [1,2]. The aim of high‐frequency (drying) applications is to obtain the same quality of goods as in conventional methods, but with less energy and time consumption.…”

“…High‐frequency dryers can be classified as either dielectric or microwave heating according to the working frequency and the method of the alternative current obtained at that frequency. While the industrial frequencies in the radio frequency region are 13.56, 27.12 and 40.68 MHz, the region spans 910–2850 MHz for the microwaves [1,4]. Because of its wider wavelength, radio frequency can penetrate bulky materials more effectively when compared with microwaves.…”

“…Parallel plates, stray‐field rods and staggered stray‐field rods are the common electrode configurations. Parallel plate applicators are the most widely used configurations in the textile industry [1,4,10]. The stray‐field electrode system is used for woven and non‐woven fabrics that do not have a thickness of more than 1–2 inches (2.54 – 5.08 cm).…”

The aim of this study was the development of a prototype machine for the processing of fabrics, which can be used as a reactor for the continuous finishing processes. The optimum applicator design for fabrics was developed in accordance with laboratory‐scale experimental studies. Reactive printed samples were treated with the combination of radio frequency and steam in order to take advantage of the steam energy and to improve energy absorption. The colour yields of the samples fixated with the combination of radio frequency and steam energy were compared with conventional steaming (10 min) and thermofixation (5 min) processes. It was observed that steam‐assisted radio frequency fixation ensured similar colour yields in a shorter setting time (3 min) compared with conventional methods. It was concluded that the new system could be an alternative method of setting, with the advantages of time savings and lower energy consumption.

“…The implementation of the ERP Database to the PLC of the RF STALAM enables the faster calculation of the automatic tape speed and electrode level based on the raw weight of the wet coil [6]. The Radio Frequency (RF) drying has an ability to remove nearly 50% to 60% of the moisture [7]. The bending and twisting of the textile play a vital role in analyzing the impact of the RF on the fabric [8].…”

Radio Frequency is one of the most commonly used technologies in the processing industries like textile, rubber, paper and many other sectors for drying purposes. The RF STALAM 85kW is a machine used to dry the yarn obtained after the dyeing and hydro extraction process. This machine uses radio frequency to remove the moisture content from the dyed yarn. In this research paper, I would like to share the findings of an experiment conducted on the RF STALAM 85kW yarn dryer machine. In this experiment, I have three trials each with and without the steam at variable conveyor belt speeds. The trials have been conducted at conveyor belt speeds of 5m/hr,5.5m/hr and 6m/hr in the presence and absence of steam. The primary objective of the research is to improve the productivity of the STALAM RF machine. The secondary objective of the research is to find out the impact of steam on the yarn drying ability of the machine. The tertiary objective of the research is to find the optimum speed. At the end of the experiment, I calculated the per day production to conclude the optimum speed to run the STALAM RF 85kW yarn drier machine to obtain maximum production with and without steam. From the above research, I have concluded that the conveyor belt speed and steam increase the productivity of the machine.
