Portugal-based Tintex Textiles has reportedly opted for stenter line of the leading system supplier and stenter producer Brückner to develop unique solution for achieving completely new effects on knitted fabrics. Powered by split-flow technology, this line will help Tintex keep up with future market developments and get all available information about modern line design and new line know-how.
Explaining the split-flow technology, Tintex reports that the technology includes the corresponding entry and exit components (incorporates 2 special features) which are particularly designed for a low tension fabric transport and an extremely sensitive fabric surface.

Furthermore, the entry stand of the stenter integrates a newly developed special coating unit which allows to apply stable and instable foams as well as pastes by means of a screen application unit. Whereas, the exit integrates a laminating/embossing calendar offering the possibility to provide with an electrical shortwave infra-red radiator a directly coated highly elastic knitted fabric with a shagreen by means of an embossing paper.
According to Tintex, the textile industry in the Iberian Peninsula (associated with the countries of Spain and Portugal) has become rather small over the years. Therefore, cooperative efforts of Tintex and Brückner will certainly attract the attention of the textile producers in both countries.
