Fong’s To Show Sustainable Dyeing Machine At ITMA
Fong’s Europe will be outlining high quality dyeing results with use of minimal water, energy and chemicals resulting from advanced features of the THEN Smartflow TSF at ITMA 2023 in Hall 18, Stall B106
The Smartflow TSF operates with a low liquor ratio of down to 1:2.5 with full loading of synthetic fabrics, which means that it requires less water to dye a given amount of fabric compared to traditional dyeing machines.
This not only reduces the consumption of water and steam, but also the amount of wastewater generated.
The machine is also equipped with a heat exchanger enabling it to heat the dyeing liquor quickly and efficiently, to reduce energy consumption.
Its bath preparation unit and chemical dosing system ensure accurate and precise dosing of chemicals, dyestuff and salt, reducing chemical waste and optimising results while reducing process times.
Other features include the machine’s smart fabric transport system which ensures extremely even dyeing of the fabric through accurate control of the nozzle pressure and pump power, with movement through the machine via a PLC-controlled plaiting system and variable chamber adjustment depending on fabric characteristics.
The machine’s control panel is easy to use, allowing operators to program and monitor processes with ease.
The THEN Smartflow TSF is the only reel-less round shape machine on the market and its closed loop regulation and digitalised system manages the fabric transport without a winch.
It reduces the power consumption and the tension of sensitive elastic fabrics and its design results in a low lifting height for the highest relaxation of stretch and elastane fabrics.
