In addition to achieving right first time results, getting the liquor ratio as low as possible is one of the main keys to achieving further cost high materials efficiencies.

For 100% cotton, the Thies iMaster H20 achieves an ultra-low liquor ratio of approximately 1:3.5 with excellent running properties at up to 500 m/min.

In addition, the fabric speed, nozzle pressure and plaiter movement are automatically synchronized and shrinkage is strictly controlled.

The iMaster H20 is also capable of handling both light and heavy fabrics, as well as both full and part loads, as a result of its adjustable J-Box.                                                 

Thies soft-TRD III long kier systems meanwhile – capable of handling either 100kg, 150kg or 200kg per chamber and with between one and four chambers per machine – benefit from an enhanced design and unprecedented flexibility.

Uniformity in terms of the temperature distribution and the heat up of the fabric, liquor and kier itself, is complemented by a fully automatic dosing system and highly adjustable fabric speeds up to 600 m/min. The liquor ratio starts at 1:4,5 up to a maximum of 1:10 at operating temperatures of up to 140°C.

“In addition to being a supplier in respect of engineering and construction, Thies builds long-term partnerships with its dyehouse customers,” concluded Hermann Freericks adding. “We aim to provide single-source solutions and full service support worldwide, with the flexibility to implement the requirements of our customers and ensure they are getting the utmost in terms of repeatable performance and resource efficiency from our machines.”
