Monforts Exhibiting Montex Stenter Chamber At ITM 2024

Monforts, which is celebrating its 140th anniversary this year, will exhibit a Montex stenter chamber with an integrated overhead heat recovery unit at ITM 2024 exhibition at its partner Stall 1116B, Hall 11.

The heat recovery unit on display is just one of a range of energy saving options the company is now providing, for both new and existing line installations.

Monforts Montex stenters and Thermex dyeing ranges are industry standard for the fabric finishing industry, providing many advantages in terms of production and energy efficiency and savings.

At ITM, Monforts will also introduce its very latest Coattex coating unit exclusively dedicated to air knife and knife-over-roller coating.

A wide range of coatings can be applied to fabrics for providing functions such as waterproofing, liquid and gas protection and breathability, in addition to foam lamination and coating, including black-out coating.

For single-sided application with paste or foam, the versatile Coattex is suitable for both incorporation into existing finishing ranges as well as installation with new Monforts lines, especially Montex stenter.

“Investment in new technology and expansions are very important for our Turkish customers, in order to stay ahead in terms of sustainable & high quality production,” Monforts ASM Thomas Paeffgen said.

“We find that they carefully assess the benefits of each advanced new technology in order to thrive in a sector that is constantly changing and so have adopted strategies of continuous investment,” he added.

Recent Monforts installations in Turkey have included an eight-chamber Montex stenter at the Bursa plant of Ilay Textile, a leader in new printing techniques and technologies.

“The Montex installation is providing us improved control options for all process parameters and we are impressed with the energy savings we are making,” said the company’s Production Director Fikri Savaş.

Istanbul Boyahanesi’s plant in Çerkezköy meanwhile now benefits from a Monforts Thermex Econtrol continuous dyeing line.

“The Thermex has allowed us to get down to fabric weights of 80gsm while shortening processing times for heavier fabrics, thereby expanding our product offering,” Founder Kemal Taşkin also said.

“It’s an extremely versatile range, allowing us to instantly see the results and to easily move between reactive and disperse dyeing,” he added.

Arta in Çorlu, an accredited supplier to leading European retail brands such as Marks & Spencer, H&M, Inditex and Top Shop has also adopted the Thermex system.

“It provides us with a far wider range of fabric finishes and surface effects than we can achieve compared to our competitors,” said Arta Plant Manager Mehmet Kaan Kalipçioĝlu.

Another Bursa-based operation, Altun Tekstil, a leader in home textiles and furnishing fabrics, has just commissioned the first Montex Coat coating system in Turkey.

“With the Montex Coat unit we are able to achieve an even foam application at high speed which results in a very economic process,” said company owner Murat Altun.

“We have worked with Neotek from the start and both service and the product quality with Monforts technology have been extremely satisfying,” Altun stated.
