V-Steamer

Steaming device (option).
Fabric centre supporting rope (option).

Pinning Device

Synchronised drive systems for efficient pinning and reliable after-pinning even with large overfeeds and highly elastic fabrics. Pneumatic operation for lifting and lowering in process-optimised sequence.

The drive is synchronised with the drive of the stenter chain, thus preventing any shifting of the mesh structure. Long service life of the brush belt as it is not subjected to friction. Suitable for knitted fabric ranges.

Padder

Operator-friendly, widely proven design principle. Material and hardness of the roll covers can be chosen to suit the desired finishing processes and fabrics. Version with uniform pressure roller also available. A wide range of variants are available, from liquor trough with minimum capacity through to a trough with long dwell section.

Stenter Machine

The universal and modular Monforts stenter principle offers an individual adaptation to all the demanded finishing effects - and at the same time versatile applications for the range.



Whether for woven and/or knitted fabrics - with the proven “Qualitex” PLC system, the unrivalled TwinAir system and maintenance-free chain technology, Monforts is synonymous with a stenter technology that is as diverse as the latest fashions.

Dyeing With Reactive Dyestuff

Econtrol®

With the trend towards smaller lot sizes per colour in continuous dyeing and the requirement for simple processes, the Econtrol process for reactive dyestuffs was developed in the mid-nineties. It has now established itself with DyStar technology worldwide.
The Econtrol® process is a simple, quick and economical one-pass pad - dry - wash off continuous dyeing process with drying in a hot flue at 120-130° C and controlled humidity (25-30% by volume) to obtain fixation in 2 - 3 minutes.

Benefits
Ideal choice for short or long lot dyeing
Full colour range
Excellent reproducibility of colours
No risk of browning of cellulose fibres thanks to low fixation temperature - bright colours possible
No urea - no fumes - no machine contamination
No salt (easy wash-off of unfixed dyestuff)
Instant colour viewing
Accurate, easy and rapid laboratory check method
No unproductive batching sequences, no moiré effects
Migration minimised by rapid fixation and humidity control
No crushing of pile fabrics (e.g. corduroy)
Improved penetration of difficult fabrics due to presence of humidity during fixation
Energy-efficient thanks to optimum humidity control
Ideal process for fast change technology
