Aeroglide Corporation provides equipment for through-air drying (TAD), thermal bonding, heat setting, curing and finishing for the nonwovens industry. Applications include spunlace-hydroentangled, airlaid, wetlaid, spunbond (SMS composites), coated and foam impregnated webs. Having a worldwide presence has been critical to successfully supporting customers at its facilities. Permanent sales and service offices in Europe and Asia-Pacific provide a base for this unmatched service and responsiveness supported by its manufacturing, engineering and headquarters in the U.S. Aeroglide joined the Btihler Group in 2008.

With more than 150 drum installations since the 1970s, the products made by the National Drying brand of Aeroglide Corporation have some of the highest evaporation rates in the industry and have set a new standard in efficient thermal bonding, heat setting and drying of all types of nonwovens and fibers. Multiple drum driers are ideal for applications requiring high line speeds, extended dwell time and in-line temperature profiling for drying, thermal bonding and cooling. Single drum drier designs feature high evaporation rates for short dwell times, high speeds, delicate web or single-sided contact applications. Drums are either standard perforation for a wide variety of applications or are reinforced structurally for high vacuum, high speed applications.
