Abstract
A method and a fiber-treatment system dry wet or damp fibers. A fiber mat () including wet or damp fibers is formed on a treatment band () which is moved in a conveying direction (x). An air flow () composed of heated drying air is generated in the fiber dryer (). The heated drying air is guided in an upward direction through the treatment band and the fibers contained in the fibre mat () are loosened and dried. Linters () possibly produced by any moving fibers are captured by a filter band () arranged above the treatment band, which is also moved in the conveying direction (x). At the outlet of the fiber dryer, the fibers are detached from a support () formed on the filter band, in particular when guiding the detached fibers back towards the dried fibers guided to the treatment band ().
