Mahlo präsentiert neue Lösungen auf der ITMA Asia 2023

Mahlo GmbH + Co. KG präsentiert zusammen mit Shanghai Kuantex auf der ITMA Asia (19. und 23. November) ihre Systeme und Lösungen für eine effiziente und qualitativ hochwertige Textilproduktion und -veredlung. Im Fokus steht dabei das neue Richtkonzept, Orthopac RXVMC, des Maschinenbauers.

„Beim neuen Richtkonzept wurde besonderes Augenmerk auf die Richtmechanik und deren Zusammenspiel mit der Analyseelektronik des Tastkopfsystems gelegt“, erklärt Vertriebsleiter Thomas Höpfl. Neu ist auch das Ansteuerungskonzept. Eine Tastkopfgruppe am Einlauf der Richtmaschine erkennt Verzüge, noch bevor Sie die Korrekturwalzen erreichen. So werden die Walzen direkt in Position gebracht und die Ware bereits ab dem ersten Zentimeter korrigiert. Eine Tastkopfgruppe am Auslauf erkennt zusätzlich möglichen Restverzug, der den am zweiten Richtmodul korrigiert wird. Das ermöglicht eine noch präzisere und schnellere Reaktion, wenn es gilt auf schnell wechselnde Verzügen zu reagieren. Seine volle Stärke zeigt das Orthopac RXVMC daher beim Richten von Maschenwaren und verzugsempfindlichen Geweben.

Zur hochwertigen Textilherstellung und Veredlung trägt auch das Famacont PMC zur Regelung von Schussfaden- und Maschenreihendichte bei, das auf der ITMA Asia ebenfalls zu sehen ist. Das Famacont PMC-15 misst mittels Sensor die Faden- bzw Maschendichte und vergleicht sie mit dem in der Rezeptdatenverwaltung hinterlegtem Sollwert. Die erkannte Abweichung der Fadendichte vom Sollwert wird genutzt, um die Voreilung beim Aufnadelprozess am Spannrahmen vollautomatisch zu regeln. Interessierte können sich die Funktionsweise am Mahlo-Stand mit Hilfe eines Demo-Towers und eigener oder zur Verfügung gestellter Stoffproben erklären lassen.

Weiter großes Thema bleibt die Industry 4.0. Denn die besten gemessen Daten nützen nichts, wenn sie nicht verwertet werden können. Mahlo hat seine digitale Umgebung mSmart kontinuierlich weiterentwickelt. „Unsere Systeme generieren Daten, die der Kunde sofort nutzen kann, um Ware on-line zu regeln. Gleichzeitig werden alle Messwerte in unserem Datenmanagementsystem mLog enhanced gesichert und sind jederzeit abrufbar. Mit diesen historischen Daten können Prozesse optimiert und Schwachstellen im Ablauf zu minimiert werden“, erklärt Vertriebsleiter Thomas Höpfl.

Monforts at Igatex 2022

Monforts will be presenting its finishing technologies at the forthcoming Igatex textile machinery exhibition, which takes place from December 1-4 at the Lahore Expo Centre in Pakistan.

The importance of the textile industry to Pakistan’s economy cannot be overstated – it accounts for 60% of the country’s overall exports and some of its industry’s players are very major employers. In the year to June 2022, Pakistan’s textile exports climbed by 25% to a record value of $19.3 billion according to the country’s Bureau of Statistics, as security of deliveries – especially to Europe and the USA – worked in the country’s favour, in the light of the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent supply chain issues. It has a key role to play in quickly getting the country back on its feet after the devastation.

It has a key role to play in quickly getting the country back on its feet after the devastation.

Monforts customers in the regions around the country’s three biggest cities of Karachi, Lahore and Faisalbad include all of the main players in the fields of home textiles and denim production, including Afroze, , Al Karam Artistic Milliners, Azgard-9, Crestex, , Gul Ahmed, Interloop, Liberty Mills, Lucky Textile Mills, Mustaqim, Naveena (NDL), Rajby Industries, Sapphire Finishing, Soorty, Style Textile and US Denim.

These companies rely on established Monforts technologies including Montex stentering equipment, Monfortex sanforizing units and Thermex dyeing ranges. The company’s Matex Eco Applicator minimum application system has also proved a big hit in recent years.

Monforts has also achieved considerable success in Pakistan with its Econtrol®* dyeing system  – an effective and established dyeing process. More than 40 Thermex continuous dyeing ranges have been installed in Pakistan in recent years and operator training on the Econtrol®* process by sophisticated technologists is an additional service.

The Econtrol® pad-dry process has a number of immediate benefits. Compared to the common pad-dry-pad-steam process, no salt is used and no steamer is required for a separate fixation step. Compared to the pad-dry-thermofix process, no urea is used and no smoke or deposits are generated, and unlike with the cold pad batch process, direct feedback of the dyeing results ensures no batching time is necessary and guarantees good reproducibility from the lab to bulk production.

An immediate wash off is also unnecessary, allowing for flexible production planning. The process is suitable for pale to dark shades with very good fastness properties. Also waste water treatment is improved by this technology.

*Econtrol is a registered mark of Dystar Colours Distribution GmbH.

The Hybrid Shear by Sellers Textile Engineers

BTMA member Sellers Textile Engineers is marking its 110th anniversary this year with the introduction of a new concept in carpet shearing, as the essential final step in ensuring tuft uniformity and ‘just new’ freshness in finished carpet rolls.

The company has for many years offered two options in the construction of its shearing cylinders – the first, namely the ‘strap-on’, incorporates spiral blades bolted to the cylinder body and the second, known as the ‘caulked-in’, includes spirals which are fixed very securely in a machined groove within the machine.

The new Sellers’ Hybrid Shearing Cylinder combines the benefits of both, resulting in an improved cut and finer finish, in addition to longer repeatable finishing and increased rigidity.

The new Sellers’ Hybrid Shearing Cylinder combines the benefits of both, resulting in an improved cut and finer finish, in addition to longer repeatable finishing and increased rigidity.

“The Hybrid Shearing Cylinder has all the advantages of the ‘strap-on’ spiral blade to provide a sharper and cleaner cut, along with enhanced rigidity which significantly lengthens the intervals between the necessary regrinding of the blade,” explains Sellers Director Neil Miller. “We currently have six Hybrid Shearing Cylinders operating in the field and the earliest, which has been installed in both No1 Head position, where the majority of the shearing operation and heaviest cut is performed, and also in No3 Head, where the sharper cutting angle has resulted in a much improved surface quality.”

Sellers shearing machines have led the field in carpet finishing for many decades, enabling the leading manufacturers to stay competitive by enabling the highest quality of finish to be achieved economically and efficiently.

The latest advanced features of these machines include a load cell tension control drive system, an automated touchscreen for easy operator control and fault diagnosis, an enhanced cleaning system including cylinder and blade separation and fully controllable pivoting beds. Further options include thickness monitoring, seam detection and metal detection systems.

“The Hybrid Shearing Cylinder will become standard on our latest machines and also be made available for retrofitting, to provide significant benefits to our existing users,” says Miller. “All of our equipment is designed, manufactured, assembled and tested at our plant in the UK, and as one of the few remaining European engineering companies to make all of our components in-house – with now over a century of accumulated know-how – flexibility in design allows our finishing solutions to be targeted to specific customers and their product requirements. Aligned to this is a lead in process control systems which ensure the accurate control, reliability and repeatability of the processing parameters on all of our machines.”

Sellers remains committed to providing complete finishing solutions for all carpet, tile and artificial grass products. Its range includes machines for tufted secondary backing, both conventional, powder and extrusion lamination, Wilton and Axminster products, artificial grass and foam lines, coating lines for bitumen, PVC, PU and other polymers, as well as shearing for all carpet products.

Ongoing developments on the company’s coating and drying lines have resulted in improved guiding and product tension control as well as dryer efficiency, reducing heat loss and optimising energy use. These include a re-design of the fan pressure boxes and impingement nozzles to increase airflow efficiency, modulating gas burners and introducing easy clean, accessible filters.

In addition, the proven dual zone system has been enhanced, giving a temperature differential of up to 80°C between top and bottom zones. Dryers can be heated by either gas or steam and operation and access have been simplified with controls via touchscreen and PLC.

An extensive range of ancillary equipment is available to provide maximum flexibility to cover product requirements, for both new processing lines and as upgrades to existing equipment.

“Carpet manufacturing is now based on well-established, tried and trusted processes and it’s rare for new innovations to be introduced into this sector,” says Jason Kent, CEO of the British Textile Machinery Association. “The new Sellers Hybrid Shearing Cylinder can provide a competitive edge for manufacturers which is currently being proven in the field. It’s one of a number of new innovations the company is planning to showcase at next year’s ITMA exhibition in Milan.”

Halley Stevensons: Unique waxed cotton finishing with new Monforts line

Monforts has installed and commissioned a new Montex finishing range at the Baltic Works of Halley Stevensons in Dundee, Scotland, to further boost the weatherproofing specialist’s highly flexible operations.

The range, with a working width of two metres, was built at the Montex assembly plant in Austria and consists of a Montex®Coat coating unit in knife execution for paste and foam coating and a Montex 8500 6F stenter.

Founded in 1864, Halley Stevensons has amassed unique technical know-how and manufacturing experience in the art of waxed cotton for weatherproofed fabrics and is able to provide international orders in custom colours and finishes to very low minimum quantities where required. The company exports worldwide and its premium brand customers include Belstaff, Barbours, Filson and J.Crew.

The range has replaced one of the company’s older stenter/coating lines and has already enabled Halley Stevensons to recreate various products with lower coating applications at higher speeds than was previously possible.

The range has replaced one of the company’s older stenter/coating lines and has already enabled Halley Stevensons to recreate various products with lower coating applications at higher speeds than was previously possible.

Waxed cotton was originally developed by sailors in the early 15th century when Scottish North Sea herring fleets began treating flax sailcloth with fish oils and grease in an attempt to waterproof their sails. Remnants of these sails were used by the sailors as capes to withstand the high winds and sea spray.

By the mid 1850s, sailcloth was being treated with linseed oil, but while initially highly effective, it would yellow and stiffen through weathering over time and eventually lose its waterproofing qualities.

In the years that followed, various treatments were applied to cottons in an attempt to find the most effective weatherproofing solution, and the combination of densely-woven cotton impregnated with a paraffin waxed coating proved most successful. For over 150 years, Halley Stevensons created many different variations of both woven constructions and finishing treatments and now supplies thousands of metres of waxed cotton every year, with each roll produced to custom specifications.

“The beauty of waxed cotton is its durability and longevity,” says Managing Director James Campbell. “The fabrics are breathable, with the wax adjusting to ambient temperatures to be softer and more breathable in warm weather and stiffer and more wind proof in cold conditions.”
While traditional waxes are petroleum or paraffin based, Halley Stevensons has always been comfortable about using a waste product from industry and reusing it to make products that last a lifetime.  

“We are always exploring different finishing techniques and one of our most popular finishes is our hybrid aero – an emulsified blend of waxes,” Campbell says. “This fabric is water repellent but has little wax in the mixture so the handle is much drier to touch than the traditional wet waxes.”

The company has also recently launched a new 100% plant-based wax – Ever Wax Olive – consisting of a blend of olive oil, rape seed and castor bean with comparable water repellence to petroleum and a far better rating than other natural waxes which have come before it.

“The high tradition of skills and fabric innovation imposed by our original guildsmen is still our benchmark standard of honest workmanship today,” Managing Director James Campbell concludes “We use responsibly sourced cotton fabrics and processes that are gentle to the product and low impact to the environment. Our dyeing methods use very low levels of water and our waxes are simply heated up for application and cooled down to store when not in use, meaning no waste discharges. Now, with this new Monforts line, we are also achieving running speeds two-to-three times faster than with the older stenter, combined with less gas usage. It’s proved a great partnership.”

BRÜCKNER: Mit individuellen Ausrüstungskonzepten den Herausforderungen der Textilindustrie begegnen

Der deutsche Maschinenbauer BRÜCKNER hat sich während der Pandemiezeit neu aufgestellt. Seit über 70 Jahren ist das familiengeführte Unternehmen spezialisiert auf individuelle Ausrüstungskonzepte für Textilien, technische Textilien, Vliesstoffe und Bodenbeläge. Die aktuellen Herausforderungen in der Textilindustrie sind gravierend. Die deutliche Erhöhung der Energiekosten und die allgemeine Unsicherheit der Energieversorgung sowie politische Auflagen machen eine rentable Textilproduktion für viele Firmen inzwischen immer anspruchsvoller.

Der deutsche Maschinenbauer BRÜCKNER hat sich während der Pandemiezeit neu aufgestellt. Seit über 70 Jahren ist das familiengeführte Unternehmen spezialisiert auf individuelle Ausrüstungskonzepte für Textilien, technische Textilien, Vliesstoffe und Bodenbeläge. Die aktuellen Herausforderungen in der Textilindustrie sind gravierend. Die deutliche Erhöhung der Energiekosten und die allgemeine Unsicherheit der Energieversorgung sowie politische Auflagen machen eine rentable Textilproduktion für viele Firmen inzwischen immer anspruchsvoller.

BRÜCKNER antwortet darauf mit einem neu entwickelten Spannrahmenkonzept mit Doppelbeheizungssystem. Die Anlagen können mit je nach Verfügbarkeit mit Gas oder Öl betrieben werden, aber auch andere Kombinationen mit Dampf oder erneuerbaren Energien sind möglich. Somit können Produktionsverzögerungen und Maschinenstillstände weitestgehend vermieden werden. Zudem hat das Unternehmen für seine Maschinen intelligente Assistenzsysteme entwickelt, die den Maschinenbediener darin unterstützen, den bestmöglichen Prozess zu nutzen, um die Anlage so energieeffizient wie möglich zu betreiben. Mit neuen energieeffizienten Motoren oder Wärmerückgewinnungs- und Abluftreinigungssystemen sind weitere Energieeinsparungen möglich. Schädliche Emissionen können so vermieden werden.

Auch die Reduzierung von Chemikalien steht im Fokus vieler Textilproduzenten. Hierzu kann das weiterentwickelte Minimalauftragsaggregat ECO-COAT einen entscheidenden Beitrag leisten. Über verschiedene Warenwege können Maschen- und Webwaren, aber auch Vliesstoffe ein- oder beidseitig veredelt werden. Durch die Minimalapplikation über eine Gravurwalze kann ein einseitiger Auftrag von bis zu 100 g/m² erzielt werden. Ein beidseitiger und höherer Auftrag wird z.B. durch Imprägnieren im Nip erreicht. Unabhängig vom gewählten Warenweg fallen durch ein sehr kleines Flottenreservoir nur minimale Abwassermengen beim Partie- bzw. Flottenwechsel an, auch der Chemikalieneinsatz kann somit deutlich reduziert werden. Im anschließenden Trocknungsprozess muss weniger Wasser verdampft werden als z.B. bei der Imprägnierung im Wasserbad, der Energiebedarf sinkt damit deutlich.

BRÜCKNER wird im Juni auf der ITM in Istanbul und der TECHTEXTIL in Frankfurt die Neuentwicklungen präsentieren.

Brückner mit Spannrahmen in der Türkei erfolgreich

Das türkische Unternehmen ARIKAN Mensucat Industry and Trade Inc. wurde 1993 gegründet und hat seinen Sitz in Kahramanmaraş, einer der südlichsten Städte des Landes. 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.

Das türkische Unternehmen ARIKAN Mensucat Industry and Trade Inc. wurde 1993 gegründet und hat seinen Sitz in Kahramanmaraş, einer der südlichsten Städte des Landes. 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.
