Lint is one of the biggest maintenance headaches for any dryer. It clogs vents, coats internal parts, and builds up outside the building. A lintless dryer solves this by spinning the air inside the machine and pulling about 99% of the lint into a collection drawer, with no screen to clean. This technology is still new and just starting to gain a foothold.
How a Lintless Dryer Uses ProCapture Technology
ProCapture is a recently developed feature that changes how a dryer handles lint. The system relies on airflow to separate lint from the air, so the machine needs no physical screen to trap it.
Air That Spins Like a Dyson Vacuum
Think of how a Dyson vacuum works. The ProCapture air system spins the air, and the center of that spinning air collects the lint. The dryer then deposits the lint in one spot inside the machine.
This method captures about 99% of the lint. That performance matches a very tight micron external lint filter.
Why Physical Screens Let Lint Escape
A traditional dryer depends on a screen rated down to a certain micron size. No matter how fine the mesh is, some lint always slips through. That escaped lint ends up inside the dryer, in the venting, or outside the building.
Where the Lint Goes
The ProCapture system keeps nearly all of that lint in one easy place to reach.
A Simple Lint Drawer Inside the Machine
With ProCapture, the lint lands in a drawer on the machine itself. When you open it, you find a pile of lint. There are no screens to clean.
No Hidden External Filter to Forget
Many setups use an external lint filter or collector, often located behind the equipment. People tend to skip cleaning it because it sits out of sight. Keeping lint capture on the machine removes that problem.
Pro Tip: If your current setup relies on an external lint collector behind the machine, check it now. That hidden filter is the one most often skipped.
Fewer Service Calls and Cleaner Components
Lint capture at the source has a direct effect on how often your equipment needs attention.
Less Lint In Control Panels and Burner Tubes
Our preventive maintenance work on standard dryers includes cleaning lint out of control panels and burner tubes. On machines with ProCapture, we’re not seeing lint reach those places. The airflow captures it and sends it straight to the lint drawer.
Why Lintless Dryers Need Less Service
Cleaner components mean less lint removal during preventive maintenance. This technology helps reduce the need for service, and it removes the need for an external lint collector.

Cleaner Venting Outside the Building
The benefits extend past the machine itself and into your venting system.
Less Buildup Inside Your Vents
A standard dryer sends escaped lint down the venting to the outside. Over time, that lint builds up inside the vents. ProCapture keeps the lint inside the dryer, so far less of it enters the vent line.
Protecting AC Units and Sidewalks
Lint that exits the vent has to land somewhere. It can collect on an air conditioning unit, a sidewalk, or the exterior of the building. Capturing lint at the source keeps those areas cleaner.
Key Takeaway: ProCapture spins the air to pull about 99% of lint into an internal drawer. That keeps nearly all lint out of the dryer’s components, the venting, and the area around your building.
Ready to Explore Lint Capture Technology?
ProCapture is an exciting technology that is just starting to catch on. It spins the air to capture about 99% of lint, deposits it in an internal drawer, and keeps most of it out of control panels, burner tubes, and vents. The result is less cleaning and fewer service needs.
