The Art of Perfect Drying: Why Vertical Suspension Drying Makes a Difference?

Our company dries racing awnings and hospitality structures using timed, temperature-controlled forced air. During this phase, thanks to a sophisticated 3D lifting system, the awnings are hung in vertical suspension, mid-air, in their natural configuration.

Why Does Drying Have to Be Perfect? Discover Our Method

Effective Drying is Uniform and Deep

The main benefit of vertical suspension drying lies in its ability to promote an extraordinarily uniform drying. Gravity facilitates water drainage downwards, while the simultaneous exposure of all surfaces to the forced air flow ensures complete and deep ventilation.

Maximum Air Circulation

Every section of the fabric is completely exposed to the airflow, eliminating the formation of moisture pockets that commonly occur when the material is folded over itself or in contact with horizontal surfaces.

Perfectly Intact and High-Performing Fabrics

Prevention of Mold and Microbial Proliferation

Persistent moisture creates an ideal environment for the growth of mold, fungi, and bacteria. Vertical drying significantly accelerates evaporation, eliminating the risk of microbial proliferation and fabric damage.

Elimination of Stagnant Water Points

Folds and overlaps, which are inherent to horizontal or folded drying, can trap water for prolonged periods. This not only slows down drying but can also compromise the effectiveness of the workmanship (welds, glues, seams) as well as the colors of fabrics, brands, and logos.

Preservation of Fabric Treatments

Racing awnings are built with advanced technical fabrics, often equipped with specialized coatings for waterproofing and UV protection. Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatments are formulations applied to the fabric surface. A uniform, wrinkle-free vertical suspension drying process without stagnant water allows these treatments to maintain their integrity for a long time and guarantees optimal performance over time.

Ease of Inspection

With the awning hung in suspension and fully extended, it becomes immediate and easy to visually inspect for any anomalies, loose seams, holes, or tears, and to facilitate their repair.
