Bisher wurde ein Großteil der Einlagen in Weinheim, Deutschland, beschichtet und veredelt. Der dortige Standort konzentriert sich nun als weiteres Kompetenzzentrum auf die Herstellung von Basismaterialien für Bekleidungseinlagen.

Parallel zum Aufbau des Kompetenzzentrums hat Freudenberg seine Logistik verbessert gestaltet. Ein zusätzliches Zentrallager in Italien beliefert nun die Kunden in Südeuropa. Es ergänzt das Zentrallager in Deutschland, das Ware an Kunden in Nordeuropa ausliefert. Damit verkürzt Freudenberg die Lieferwege und Lieferzeiten.

BEZAKTIV ONE: New Reactive dyes range by CHT

  • Reactive dyes for water and energy saving dye processes with significantly shortened process time

BEZAKTIV ONE covers a broad color spectrum with tinctorial very strong dyes. This enables a cost-efficient dye process with significantly less dye and salt. The excellent wash-off behavior allows short rinse cycles at lower temperatures and therefore offers further ecological and economic advantages. The dyes are particularly suitable for durable textiles due to their good multiple wash fastness.

Cellulosic fibers are often dyed with reactive dyes, as these are commercially available in a wide range of colors that result in dyeings with high wash fastness. However, reactive dyeings require a lot of water due to the necessary rinsing processes. Due to increased ecological requirements, the development of energy and water saving processes is not just a trend, but rather a core prerequisite for new dyes.

A minimal number of rinsing baths and generally lower temperatures for dye exhaust, rinsing and soaping contribute to an overall efficient water and energy saving dyeing processes.

A minimal number of rinsing baths and generally lower temperatures for dye exhaust, rinsing and soaping contribute to an overall efficient water and energy saving dyeing processes.

BEZAKTIV ONE dyes can be dyed, rinsed and soaped between 40 and 60 °C. Therefore, the BEZAKTIV ONE exhaust dyeing process is significantly shorter compared to conventional reactive dyeing processes, where temperatures between 60 and 98 °C are required. This advantage means savings in process time and higher productivity for the textile dyer.

The advantages become particularly clear when dyeing medium to dark shades with the BEZAKTIV ONE process. Due to the high fixation level in combination with good color build-up dark shades can be matched with lower dye concentrations of BEZAKTIV ONE than with conventional bifunctional reactive dyes. The addition of the auxiliary COTOBLANC SEL in the second soap bath has an additional positive effect, so that a washing process with low water and energy consumption generates excellent wet fastness properties on the textile.

Baldwin’s TexCoat G4 non-contact precision-spray technology helps textile finishers up their game by enabling consistent, high-quality finishing, with zero chemistry waste and drastically minimized water and energy consumption. With Baldwin’s innovative system, the chemistry is precisely distributed across the textile surface and is applied only where it is required, on one or both sides of the fabric. The non-contact technology eliminates chemistry dilution in wet-on-wet processes, allowing full control of maintaining consistent chemistry coverage rates. Plus, pad bath contamination is eliminated, and changeovers are only required when there is a change of finish chemistry.

Monforts at Techtextil showcasing its finishing and coating technologies

The Techtextil and Heimtextil Summer Special exhibitions, taking place together in Frankfurt from June 21-24, represent an opportunity for Monforts to showcase its finishing and coating technologies for two of its major markets – especially at a time when energy prices continue to soar for textile manufacturers in Europe.

Existing customers of Monforts include many manufacturers in the field of home textiles, as well as those making geotextiles, automotive fabrics and other functional materials – all of whom will be well represented in Frankfurt this June. Dedicated Montex lines have also been supplied to producers of airbags, flame retardant barrier fabrics and spacer fabrics, as well as high-temperature filter materials.

Dedicated Montex lines have also been supplied to producers of airbags, flame retardant barrier fabrics and spacer fabrics, as well as high-temperature filter materials.

Energy prices are rising steeply everywhere and a particular emphasis for Monforts in Frankfurt will be on the energy and heat recovery that can be achieved with Montex stenters, through features such as better insulation of the treatment chambers or the MonforClean system, in which waste heat from the drying process is used to pre-heat the drying air resulting in a radical reduction in the conventional heat supply required compared to gas and thermal oil heating. The modular system for heat recovery can also be extended for exhaust air cleaning and odour elimination. Monforts can provide a range of further resource-saving and energy recovery options tailored to each individual line installation including modification of the heating source.

With the Qualitex 800 visualization software, all article-specific settings can be stored and the formulations for thousands of treatment processes called up again at any time. Individual operators can also personalise their dashboards with the most important machine functions and process parameters.

The Qualitex 800 system is available for the automatic and continuous operation of the company’s Montex stenters, as well as its Thermex continuous dyeing ranges, Monfortex shrinking systems and Montex®Coat coating units.

Monforts Montex®Coat coating units serve an equally diverse number of markets, including tents, tarpaulins and awnings, black-out roller blinds and sail cloth, automotive interior fabrics and medical disposables. Full PVC coatings, pigment dyeing or minimal application surface and low penetration treatments and solvent coatings (in explosion-proof conditions) with knife coating, roller coating or screen printing can all be accommodated with this system.

All of these very different materials require coating and finishing for maximum efficiency, using Monforts technologies which provide the ultimate in flexibility and the ability to switch quickly from one fabric run to the next, without compromising on the economical use of energy or raw materials.

The Monforts EcoApplicator offers further potential for sustainably achieving perfect finishes via a precise direct application system, as an alternative to conventional padding – where fabrics are immersed in a bath of the required finishing chemicals. It can significantly further reduce the energy and water required and finishes can be applied on just one side of the fabric, or both, and even separately on each side, to be sealed in place via different heating zones in the stenter.

Alchemie Technology asks fashion industry to reduce emissions

Alchemie Technology, an innovator of low energy, waterless, textile dyeing and finishing technology, is calling on COP26 leaders to support the global fashion industry in the adoption of new manufacturing technology, which will dramatically reduce carbon emissions and fashion’s impact on climate change.

While the fashion industry is one of the most polluting on the planet, second only to oil and gas, and greenhouse gas emissions from textile dyeing at around 3% of global emissions outweigh that of all international flights and maritime shipping combined, it is an industry that can also reduce CO2 emissions the fastest, just by changing the way it dyes fabrics.

Fabric dyeing is the most polluting part of fashion and activewear manufacturing, involving industrial scale dye baths and huge amounts of dye chemicals, steam, electrical power, and consequent high CO2 emissions.  Repeated washing of the dyed fabric, required to remove dye residue, is responsible for 20% of the world’s wastewater pollution and excess dye is discharged into waterways, affecting the health of some of the world’s poorest communities. In more regulated areas, water pollution is reduced through reliance on energy intensive water treatment plants.

However, an environmental step change can be achieved by adopting new digital technology that can dye fabrics with an 85% reduction in energy consumption and a dramatic 95% reduction of the 1.3 trillion litres of water currently used by the industry each year.

For example, dyeing one polyester shirt using current methods generates 4.5 litres of wastewater and produces 0.17 Kg of CO2, compared to low energy digital technology, which uses less than 0.2 litres of water and reduces carbon emissions to 0.03 Kg.  Multiply these numbers by the billions of garments dyed each year and the scale of the environmental problem, if nothing changes, is clear to see. Equally, the amount by which the textile industry can improve its carbon footprint is dramatic and can be done quickly if action is taken now.

Heute beschäftigt das Familienunternehmen rund 1.500 Mitarbeiter und veredelt täglich ca. 55 Tonnen Strickware. Neben vielen namhaften türkischen Modeherstellern beliefert ARIKAN auch internationale Hersteller in Europa, Russland, den Golfstaaten und anderen führenden internationalen Märkten.

Der deutsche Maschinenbauer BRÜCKNER unterstützte das türkische Unternehmen von Anfang an. Im Jahr 2014 lieferte BRÜCKNER drei Spannrahmen zur Veredlung der Maschenware. Zwei weitere Anlagen folgten in 2016. Seit Jahrzehnten ist BRÜCKNER in der Veredlung und Ausrüstung von Maschenware spezialisiert. Vor allem bei sehr feiner und elastischer Ware sind spezielle Anlagenkonfigurationen und technologisches Know-how notwendig, um ein qualitativ hochwertiges Endprodukt herstellen zu können. Während des Trocknungs- und Fixierprozesses ist z.B. eine äußerst akkurate und gleichmäßige Temperaturverteilung über die gesamte Länge und Breite des Trockners unerlässlich. Im BRÜCKNER Spannrahmen gelingt das unter anderem durch die Konterung der Thermozonen alle 1,5 Meter sowie das bewährte split-flow Belüftungssystem.

Die Maschinenbediener bei ARIKAN schätzen die einfache Bedienung der Anlagen. Die Visualisierung ist intuitiv aufgebaut und bietet verschiedene Hilfssysteme für einen optimierten Produktionsprozess. Durch wenige Änderungen der Maschinenparameter können deutliche Energieeinsparungen erzielt werden.

Das Management bei ARIKAN misst der Energieeinsparung, speziell in der Veredlung, große Bedeutung bei. Der Trocknungsprozess ist einer der energieintensivsten in der gesamten Prozesskette, deshalb können hier die größten Einsparungen erfolgen. Diese wirken sich direkt auf die Herstellungskosten der Textilien und somit auf die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit am Markt aus. Gespräche für eine weitere BRÜCKNER Anlage werden geführt, die als Feature eine kombinierte Beheizung für den Trockner vorsehen. Bei vielen Kunden – und so auch bei ARIKAN in der Türkei – steht z.B. Dampfenergie frei oder sehr günstig zur Verfügung. Mit der von BRÜCKNER entwickelten Kombi-Heizung ist es möglich, diese Dampfenergie zum Aufwärmen des Trockners zu nutzen und somit signifikante Einsparungen zu erzielen. Reicht der vorhandene Dampf für einen laufenden Prozess nicht aus, wird automatisch auf Gasbeheizung umgestellt. Diese Betriebsweise wirkt sich nicht nur auf die Energiekosten aus, sondern leistet auch einen Beitrag zum Umweltschutz.

Devan: Supporting elite sport with ‘cool comfort technology’ Moov&Cool.

Devan Chemicals has been supporting high performance sport in the UK and Belgium with its ‘cool comfort technology’ Moov&Cool.

Worldwide, hot temperatures are a new reality that brings extra challenges for athletes. Thermoregulation technology is becoming more and more important in order for athletes to perform at their best on the pinnacle of sports.

Working alongside the English Institute for Sport (EIS) and Sally Cowan Ltd, the technology is being applied to garments with the aim of improving the thermal comfort of elite athletes.

Moov&Cool consists of a multi-functional polymer technology that proposes to absorb heat during performance and improve the moisture management properties of the fabric. The treatment has been designed to simultaneously react to sweat build up and heat emission.

In Belgium, Devan has been involved in the Gold2Gold project carried out by Sport Vlaanderen. Gold2Gold is a unique collaboration between sports, government and the industry to prepare Belgian athletes to perform better in hot environments during world-level championships. Thermoregulating technology is increasingly becoming a key aspect of endurance performance for elite athletes. At that top level, small differences in body core temperature can make the difference between being on the podium or sometimes not even finishing the race.
