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 fitted
as standard on all new Montex stenters.
Monforts ‘stand alone’ Energy
Tower has been introduced for retrofitting
to existing stenters or hotflues
with restricted access above
the units. Designed to be positioned
alongside the stenter or
hotflue it features five
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

more economic dyeing process is

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 solution
provides significant energy saving
with reduced drying time. Additionally
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/coating
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.
Reaffirming its commitment to
providing the textile industry with
the lowest energy consumption, together
with improved levels of efficiency
and production, Monforts
has introduced its hi-E Efficiency
Lifecycle Management package of
energy saving benefits, including
Monformatic Plus Control, Top-
S padder roller, TwinAir airflow,
CADstream nozzle system, automatic
fluff cleaning, fan motors
with high-efficiency classification,
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 shrinkage
Sanforisor has been introduced
offering increased automation, belt
life and efficiency. w
