only have been the result of close
contact with customers. An exam-
ple of this is the patent deposited
at the beginning of the 1960s for
an “extractable hank magazine”
which completely revolutionised
the use of dyeing cabinets. The
company was also in the fore-
front in Italy when, at the dawn
of automation, the use of auto-
matic valves and the first electro-
mechanical programmers were
introduced in dyeing machinery.
Recently the company pio-
neered the use of air-cushion
pressurization in Italy. Amongst
Bellini’s many achievements is
the launch of the innovative pack-
age dyeing RBNO equipment at
ITMA 83 in Milan. This famous
apparatus, air-cushion pressurized
and with horizontal autoclave,
needs no introduction.
RBNV-I represents the innova-
tive evolution of the conventional
vertical dyeing machine, where
the most advanced technologies
applied offer the possibility of
very short dyeing cycles, with
the lowest water and energy
consumption, obviously with a
perfect material preservation and
fastnesses at top level. RBNO-I
shows the same performances
of the vertical version, adding a
series of fantastic logistics ad-
vantages: no crane is required for
material loading and unloading,
and all the material carriers are
modular and interchangeable in
all the machines. Both the dyeing
systems operate in variable load-
ing conditions, and are completed
by dedicated energy recovery
rapid pressure dryers.
All Loris Bellini machines are
totally manufactured in Italy, with
the best materials and compo-
nents. Research and development
are crucial to maintain market
leadership. A considerable part
of development activities in the
electronic, computer, pneumatic,
mechanic and hydraulic fields is
carried out directly in the compa-
ny laboratories. Should particular-
ly advanced or specialised studies
be necessary, they are entrusted
to universities or highly qualified
companies.
The liquor circulating pumps
and air blowers, which make up
the heart of Bellini machinery,
are entirely designed, developed
and produced within the company
premises with specific criteria for
the dyeing industry. They are de-
veloped with the help of modern
computerised systems and special
devices to simulate operating con-
ditions in order to obtain pumps
of greater efficiency to ensure
reduced energy consumption.
A dedicated department is de-
puted for designing and creation
of hardware/software applications
for the full automation of dyeing
process and supervision. The lat-
est developments are: Flexibeam,
