with its agent Bakubhai Ambalal for the last 15
years. The company has so far sold over 50 ma-
chines in India, to some of the biggest names in
the textile industry. One of Biancalani’s strong
commitments is to raise awareness of the superb
performance of its AIRO 24 machines to the
manufacturers in the terry towel sector, he said.
Grown to be a benchmark for the fnishing of
any kind of fabric, Airo 24 is installed in many
textile industries, thanks to its excellent perform-
ance in terms of shrinkage, appearance, volume
and guaranteed productivity. The machine is used
in all application felds: from apparel fabrics to
upholstery ones, from technical fabrics to terry
towel, from synthetic leather to knits.
In India, Biancalani offers the AIRO which
is used in softening, drying and washing of wo-
ven fabrics, knitted and nonwoven, using air to
transport the fabric rope; AIRO 24 continuous
tumbler for treatment of fabrics in open width,
with high production capacity; BRIO discontinu-
ous tumbler for treatment of knit fabric, with a
revolutionary shrinking system able to grant the
ultimate dimensional stability; and other high
performance well-known machinery for milling
and washing of woollen fabrics.
As the Indian market is very important for Bi-
ancalani, it will continue taking particular care of
the market jointly with Bakubhai Ambalal.
