The Monformatic Plus has another feature. When the fabric attains process temperature and the residence process (fixing, condensation) begins, the Monformatic Plus automatically reduces the speed of the stenter fans in the respective compartments.
This is possible because the residence processes need little energy; the fabric is dry and the process temperature only needs holding.
For example, with 8-compartment stenters, the Monformatic Plus can save over 700,000 kWh a year which depending on the electricity tariff accounts to between 50,000 and 60, 000 € every year.
Other key product developments include a new tumble action with the DynAir relaxation dryer, new soft coating solution, doubled lubrication intervals with stentering chains having sealed bearings and a new Sanforisor.
