The main advantage of the Econtrol process, in addition to the energy savings, for Nishat, was the improved fabric specifications of dyed materials with, for example,  rubbing and light fastness, when compared with other processes, according to Mr Siddiqui.

He went on to explain, “We expect better quality and fabric specifications, and are currently running 100% cotton. An impressive feature of the Thermex continuous dyeing with Econtrol is its energy savings,” he explained elaborating further, “The cost of utilities in Pakistan is very high; almost equal to the total cost of dyes and chemical consumption. The continuous process Econtrol is not only energy efficient but also offers ecological advantages of continuous finishing with a minimum use of chemicals. It is great that we can finish our fabrics with excellent light and washing fastness. Installing the Monforts Thermex 5500 with Econtrol was the right decision for us and will greatly contribute to meeting our target of 1 million metres of fabric per month,” he concluded.

The fully automatic processing unit is ideal for companies such as Nishat, who strive for continuous quality management and low operating costs. The Thermex 5500 range is the modern solution for the continuous dyeing and finishing, which is economical for dyeing both large and small batches. The machine is also operationally reliable incorporating latest air flow technology and innovative process engineering. High-speed batch changing is possible thanks to automatic cleaning and Teflon-coated rollers. Thermex 5500 offers uniform air flow, temperature and fabric finish.

The air circulation fans in each Thermex unit are arranged symmetrically and designed to provide the perfect match for the various heating systems used in the processes of drying, thermosoling and curing.Another important aspect is the fact that the lint filters can be removed from outside the machine for cleaning without interrupting production.
