A. Monforts Textilmaschinen has recently developed the Eco Applicator with its controlled kiss roll (tangential application) technology in an attempt to move forward in energy-saving machine concepts and systems while focusing more on efficient water and thermal energy usage.
The Eco Line system reduces energy losses and usage, increases thermal transfer and keeps the drying energy on the textile material longer, so that it can be used very efficiently, and thereby saving up to 50 per cent energy. It’s an innovative combination of three processes –skewing/weft straightening, stretching and drying, while ensuring no crease marks during the stretching and skewing process, which will ultimately reduce rejection rate of the final products.

The main advantages of the technology developed is its potential to optimize the liquor applied, which is the result of using an individual use of two tangential application units in one. The sound use of chemicals is a major decisive factor when opting to use this technology while the quality of the tangential process can be optimized by applying a specific moistening film – softener or product to increase dye fastness of the dyed denim. Since the exhaust air energy can also be reduced to minimum, it will have a positive effect on the emission load into the atmosphere.
The Monfortex Eco Line with its tangential Eco Applicator technology offers a real potential for reducing processing time and costs, thereby recouping the investment outlay of the innovative system very quickly.
