Monforts Showing Energy Efficient Technologies At ITMA Asia
Textiles stenter manufacturer Monforts will demonstrate the advantages of its Montex stenter, especially in energy efficiency and resource savings at ITMA Asia in Hall 5, Stall C-07.
“The Monforts Universal Energy Tower fitted in the stenter is a free-standing air/air heat exchanger that achieves energy savings of up to 25 percent,” the German company said in a press release.
The ECO Booster heat recovery system with integrated automatic cleaning is also directly integrated into the chamber design of the Montex stenter and enables energy savings of up to 35 percent, depending on the application.
According to Monforts, one ECO Booster module is sufficient for stenter ranges with up to eight chambers.
Both the ECO Booster and the Energy Tower can also be retrofitted to existing ranges, in order to make production more resource-efficient and economical, yet without having to invest in a new machine.
In the segment of denim, the company said over 900 Monforts Thermex hotflue dyeing systems are now operational, with 150 of them already reaping the benefits of the Econtrol and Econtrol T-CA processes.
Econtrol is a continuous process for the dyeing of woven cotton and cellulosic fabrics in which reactive dyestuffs are fixed into the fabric in a one-step dyeing and drying process with a controlled combination of steam and air.
The entire pad-dry process takes just two-to-three minutes at a temperature of between 120-130°C and a relative humidity volume of 25-30 percent.
The latest innovation for denim manufacturers is the CYD yarn dyeing system which integrates new functions and processes into the weaving preparatory processes.
These include spinning, direct beaming, warping and assembly beaming, followed by sizing and dyeing in order to increase quality, flexibility, economic viability and productivity.
For the technical textiles segment, the Montex Coat coater serves a very diverse number of markets and enables full PVC coatings, pigment dyeing or minimal application surface and low penetration treatments.
Key applications include tents, tarpaulins and awnings, black-out roller blinds and sail cloth, automotive interior fabrics and medical disposables.
