Whilst retaining its 'sinowave' fabric flow through the DynAir's chambers, a tumble action is introduced by vibrating the chambers upper and lower transport belt.

These are both synchronised to ensure the optimum tumbling effect.

The tumbling effect loosens the crossing points of the knitted fabric generating further improved shrinkage and handling.
Soft coating solution

A new soft coating solution provides energy savings with reduced drying times and can in some cases eliminate the need for a conventional padder.

The new process using trough and roller techniques, applies just the required amount of liquid/coating to the fabric via contact with the roller.

It has been designed for three options – to apply a liquid/coating to one side of the fabric; to apply a liquid to both sides of the fabric; and to apply a liquid to one side and a different liquid to the other side.

Applications include nano coating, water repellence, softeners and pigment dyeing. Used primarily for clothing applications, the soft coating process can, for example, apply soil-or water-repellency to one side of the fabric and softener or water absorption, respectively, to the second side.

Compared with a padder operation, the initial moisture content of 60% is reduced to 40% using the Monforts soft coating process; ensuring a reduction in drying times and reduced energy costs.

'Golden' stentering chains
The new 'Golden' Hercules stentering chain offer even further improved long term lubrication extending re-greasing intervals to more than 12,000 hours, depending on the treating processes.

Fully encapsulated bearings ensure that the roller chain runs dry through the stenter and requires minimum lubrication thanks to Monforts patented direct lubrication system; with lubricant injected directly into the bearing.

The interval for re-greasing has been extended from 6,000 hours to more than 12,000 hours under average performance conditions of 160°C and 70 m/min.

The new 'Golden' Hercules chain features further improved sealing for the bearings. This ensures a reduction of grease loss due to heat dissipation by more than 60%.

New sanforisor
A completely new redesigned compressive shrinkage sanforisor for both woven (Monfortex) and knitted (Toptex) fabrics has been introduced offering increased residual shrinkage, higher production speeds, automatic grinding of the rubber blanket, reduced water consumption for cooling and substantial time savings for blanket changes.

The new redesign also allows faster rubber belt changes taking just a single shift compared with two days for industry standard. The simplified belt removal is accomplished by an optional integral lifting device to lift the rollers instead of their complete removal.

With the necessity of grinding the belt at least 5-6 times throughout its life, a new fully automatic grinder ensures only a minimum of rubber is ground thereby increasing the efficiency and life of the belt.

It also eliminates the need for a skilled craftsman/operator in manual grinding techniques.
