Asia Citra Pratama set to take the lead in Indonesia

“Today” confirmed Hendra, “It is, after 20 years, still providing fantastic service.”

“When we looked at equipment for the new mill, we chose another Montex with confidence and, with a 3.2 m width, it was a real bonus.”

The new eight chambers Montex incorporates a series of energy saving features including the heat recovery system fitted as standard. Integrated into the stenters roof construction, exhaust air heat is converted in the heat exchanger to heat fresh combustion air.

The new Montex is expected to operate at 80-100m/min for a typical 100gm/ m² fabric.

Virtually all the fabric produced by Citra Asia will make two passes through the Montex – the first for setting and the second for finishing following the printing process and steamer.

The new facility at Karawang has a complete wide-width pre-setting, finishing and printing line for pigment printing; Citra Asia Pratama (ACP) aim to introduce reactive printing as the next step.

Determining the production capacity of 1 million m²/ month is the new printing press. Under a planned phase 2 a larger printer or dyeing operation is planned.

“If we are to target the international markets we recognise that we must opt for the dyeing process to open up a whole new area for us within Indonesia.” Land for phase 2 has already been purchased by Asia Citra alongside its new factory.

Hendrik accepts that there is a tough job ahead but with such a highly populated market, demand will be high and increase.
