Graniteville Specialty Fabrics, a US-based leader in the production of specialty coatings and coated fabrics, has announced the upgrade of one of its solvent processing lines to meet growing customer demand for advanced engineered products. The new equipment will also provide additional capacity and manpower flexibility to the plant process flow.

In addition to the tenter, a Baldwin Texcoat G4 applicator and Mascoe pre-dryers will be installed. The upgraded unit will be commissioned Q1 2022, the company said in a press release.Graniteville Specialty Fabrics, a US-based leader in the production of specialty coatings and coated fabrics, has announced the upgrade of one of its solvent processing lines to meet growing customer demand for advanced engineered products.

“We have hundreds of styles and formulations, and we want to stay on the leading edge of technology. The new Marshall & Williams equipment is critical to ensure continued service for our existing customer base while providing a flexible ‘future-proof’ tool for product development. The menu-driven control system also provides improved process management. The modern M&W tenter requires fewer in-line adjustments allowing production associates to focus on product quality our customers expect,” Doug Johnson, EVP of development and technical services at Graniteville Specialty Fabrics said in a statement.
“This investment lowers fuel and chemical consumption and minimises chemical and energy waste while improving quality effectiveness. The cost savings and quick investment recovery is clear; but also, these same benefits simultaneously lower the environmental impact to our community. We are excited about the possibilities of the investment in today’s competitive marketplace,” Jim Egan, CEO of Graniteville Specialty Fabrics said.
