New GOLLER DYEPADDER ECONOMICA Nipin- Trough with Double Impregnation Mechanism

The 2018 New GOLLER DYEPADDER ECONOMICA Nip-in- Trough with Double Impregnation Mechanism provides even dyeing for knitted fabric without crease mark and distortion incurred. The newly-designed double impregnation mechanism provides further improvement on the impregnation effectiveness in combination of a lower running tension. As the ECONOMICA guarantees reproducibility and handling in the highest standard, a smooth and clear fabric surface can be expected after dyeing.

The deflection-controlled rollers of ECONOMICA are working according to the principle of the swimming rollers, irrespective of the overall pressure of the padder, the deflection of the squeezing rollers is always consistent with the set values to ensure an even dyeing over the fabric width. On top of the deflection-controlled rollers, the large diameter guide rollers ensure a smooth knitted fabric transport with minimal tension incurred, which is beneficial to the dyeing process as a whole. The double impregnation mechanism consists of a trough with a padder inside and with the minimum level of working liquor required. This mechanism provides sufficient impregnation and low-tension running condition for knitted fabric during the dyeing process. Furthermore, Thermplates keep the temperature of the dyebath as per the set value throughout the dyeing process, no matter it’s cool or hot.

With the precise dosing of dyestuff-alkali mixed, the application of precise and homogeneous pick-up and the linear nip of the deflection-controlled rollers, the GOLLER DYEPADDER ECONOMICA Nip-in-Trough with Double Impregnation Mechanism will always be the most ideal openwidth dyeing range for knitted fabrics dyeing in small to medium batches used.

Biancalani’s new tensionless dryer for knit fabric

From one ITMA to another through four years of improvements, tests and updates, this is the story of Biancalani’s new BRIO 24 line, a tensionless dryer able to give dimensional stability to knitted fabric, both tubular and open. Now the time is ripe for this machine, which represents the evolution of a previous single tank version that was drying the knit fabric in discontinuous and that is working now for many years.

The current configuration of BRIO 24 foresees the passage of the material between the consecutive double-tank modules for the continuous treatment of the natural or blended knit fabric, mixed with viscose or other synthetic and artificial fibres. The article enters from one side of the machine and leaves the other side dry, soft and dense. The process consists the passage of knitted fabric through the tanks subjected to an intense high frequency vibration, inside which the knit dries, shrinks, obtains the maximum possible contraction for each type of texture and composition.

Several large knitwear producers, of global importance, have already shown a great deal of interest in BRIO 24, and some of them have already purchased it. This new machine, which offers great performances. Meanwhile Biancalani technologists and commercial staff will be now more than happy to offer assistance to all customers interested in obtaining information about the finishing machine BRIO 24 for knitted fabric and AIRO 24 continuous tumbler for every kind of woven fabric.

Automation and quality assurance from Erhardt+Leimer

Erhardt+Leimer presented several products from its broad portfolio for automation and quality assurance in the textile industry. One of them was the digital segmented roller guider system ELSMART SWS 97, allowing most efficient web guiding in enclosed machines in which extreme requirements placed on the system at temperatures of up to 100 °C along with steam and chemicals. Perforated high grade steel guiding profiles were developed for extremely damp and, in the majority of cases, very slippery web surfaces, providing sufficient friction for precise web guiding even in these difficult conditions, and even at high web speeds of up to 100 mtr/min (for standard applications); under special conditions a speed of up to 150 m/min is possible. A frequencycontrolled additional drive can be mounted to overcome friction forces and to guarantee minimal web tension. The SWS97 can be combined with the motor-driven spreading system ELSPREADER LGA 052, which is essential for reliable operation with knitted or loose-fed webs.

Automatic recognition of the front and back side of textiles

The ELSIDE camera system detects the structure of the material even at high production speeds and irrespective of the material distortion; in this way it is able to differentiate between the front and back side. ELSIDE is suitable for use in all textile manufacturing processes in which incorrectly sewn sections can have a negative influence on the downstream process. Before starting production, only a short teaching procedure is required during which the matrix CCD camera captures the structure of the textile web. Afterwards, an alarm signal is issued in the event of incorrectly sewn sections.

Cutting technology, proven a thousand times

Apart from this E+L presented two ELCUT cutting systems: The highly successful BTA80 edge cutter, sold more than 2000 times (in pairs) since it was launched in 2013, and the BT 2535 tube slitter with its FE 5204 matrix drop stitch sensor, which reliably detects a very wide range of different drop stitch forms.
