duty vertical chain is available for
heavier weight knitted, non-woven
and technical textile applications.
As part of the company’s ongoing
effort to reduce energy consumption
in the textile industry, its integrated
heat recovery system is today ftted
as standard on all new Montex stent-
ers.
Monforts ‘stand alone’ Energy
Tower has been introduced for ret-
roftting to existing stenters or hot-
fues with restricted access above
the units. Designed to be positioned
alongside the stenter or
hotfue it features fve
integrated heat recovery
modules. Capitalising on the
high temperature of the exhaust
air, fresh air passing through the
heat recovery system is heated to
ensure savings of up to 30 per cent
in energy costs.
New dyeing process
A considerably shortened and
more economic dyeing process is
available for single pad continu-
ous dyeing of polyester and cotton
blends following the introduction of
the Econtrol T-CA process jointly
developed with Dystar Colours.
A new improved soft coating solu-
tion provides signifcant energy sav-
ing with reduced drying time. Ad-
ditionally it can also eliminate the
need for a conventional wet-on-wet
padder.
The new process uses trough and
roller techniques and applies just
the required amount of liquid/coat-
ing to the fabric via contact with the
roller. It has been designed for three
options – to apply a liquid/coating
to one side of the fabric; to apply a
liquid to both sides of the fabric; or
to apply a liquid to one side of the
fabric and a different liquid to the
other side.
Reaffrming its commitment to
providing the textile industry with
the lowest energy consumption, to-
gether with improved levels of ef-
fciency and production, Monforts
has introduced its hi-E Effciency
Lifecycle Management package of
energy saving benefts, including
Monformatic Plus Control, Top-
S padder roller, TwinAir airfow,
CADstream nozzle system, auto-
matic fuff cleaning, fan motors
with high-effciency classifcation,
and the energy saving Lift-O-Matic
doors.
An improved grinding system for
the rubber belt on both the Toptex
(knitted fabrics) and Monfortex
(woven fabric) compressive shrink-
age Sanforisor has been introduced
offering increased automation, belt
life and effciency.
