Complex rinsing systems combined with ‘intelligent functions’ for the pre and post treatment of the fabric help to further reduce the total water and energy treatment.

Another feature appreciated by Jairo Correa is a completely new design of rope dyeing for the processing of knit and woven goods.

By installing the transport winch inside the kier, cotton, synthetic fibres and their blends, including articles with a high elastane content are processed with significantly reduced elongation, resulting in fabrics of improved stability and surface appearance, while offering increased flexibility in the processing of a wide range of products.

In concluding, Jairo Correa said that he could not praise the Thies Setex electronic control system enough. “It’s the brain of the iMaster, very specialised, very smart and very fast. The software is excellent and it’s also easy to operate.”

Tintatex provides dyed fabrics for fashion wear in high quality viscose. lycra and cotton blends as circular knits and weights between 120 gm/m² - 300 gm/m².

Since those early days in 2005, Tintatex has continued to supply some 20% of its production to its original four associate companies but has also grown as a commission dyer with a customer base of almost 50 customers; with several growing at the same rate as Tintatex – to match Colombia’s textile boom.
