MCS
(Booth: W4 B22)
STARWASH is the groundbreaking washing box
by MCS. Modular and compact in size, it allows both knitted and woven fabrics
to be processed, thanks to the OVERFLOW & BUBBLE patented system.

As introduced, the fabric is conveyed
through two internal motorized large sized drums, three return rollers on which
load cells and a squeezer are mounted. The internal recirculation of the liquor
in forced counterflow and the absence of spray nozzles provide a powerful
washing impact as well as a gentle action on the most sensitive fibres.
It is the ideal washing cycle for synthetic
and natural fibres, suitable for washing both after traditional and ink-jet
printing, after wool fixing and bleaching and/or mercerizing.
- Liquor flow in
forced counterflow
- High
efficiency washing “star” drums
- Minimum liquor
volume to fill the trough (only 350 l)
- Specific
consumption from 10 l/kg depending the color and type of textile processing
- Best washing
effect thanks to various recirculation devices and clean-water inlets (up to 3
times per minute)
- Pressurised
chamber containing the drum, for a perfect penetration into the fibre
- Shaped profile
of the pressurised chamber for an more efficient washing effect
- Motors
controlled by inverters
- Optimised
control of fabric draw, thanks to load-cells installed on each fabric
transmission
- Optimised
filtering system after overflow, controlled by continuous reading probe
- Compact and
modular structure (components)
- Reduced
dimensions
- Full
management of the line via PLC
- Reduced
specific consumptions

Monforts
(Booth: W5 A11)
Monforts will be placing special emphasis
on its latest Denim finishing technologies at ShanghaiTex 2017, including the
innovative ThermoStretch skewing unit avoiding the expensive need for
steam-operated cylinder dryers.
The new ThermoStretch skewing unit from
Monforts offers new and improved features for Eco friendly denim finishing
avoiding the excessive use of ‘expensive to generate’ steam that was previously
necessary for the cylinder dryers; thereby replacing the need for
steam-operated cylinder dryers.

It also provides a much gentler treatment
of the denim fabric during stretching than was previously achievable together
with an optimized fabric hand.
The ThermoStretch unit also continues to be
available as a ‘long stretch’ unit but without heating properties for the
fabric.
Monforts has in depth ‘knowhow’ in high
speed processing ranges for denim finishing with the ‘double rubber’ twin
compressive shrinking unit working in tandem for working speeds even above 80
metres / minute.
The larger fabric content of the
ThermoStretch unit in combination with the ‘double rubber’ twin compressive
shrinking unit ensures minimum residual shrinkage values and highest production
speeds which could not be achieved before.
In the denim industry, this concept is
making a significant contribution to higher productivity and lower energy
consumption and the company has references in Vietnam and Mexico.
Monforts will also highlight its texCoat
coating processes and finishing of technical textiles, especially airbag
materials at the show.
Monforts can offer completely integrated
coating lines from a single source with the coating machine tailored to the
subsequent Monforts drying technology.
The Monforts system has the shortest fabric
path from the coating unit into the stenter and offers all variations of
coating application systems, such as knife over air, knife over roller,
magnetic knife or printing head. All of these options are also available in
wider widths, with the engineering from a single source.
Special equipment for heat recovery and
innovative exhaust air cleaning will also be on display.
Premium Textile Components
(Booth: E1 D30)
Premium Textile Components provides
technology components and service facilities both for spinning mills and
machinery manufacturers. The business group is represented on the market
through five brands: Bräcker, Graf, Novibra, Suessen, and SSM.

Bräcker will exhibit the well-known, high
quality key components for ring spinning machines. ONYX was successfully
launched in April 2017, the ground-breaking surface treatment of the ONYX
travellers facilitates a higher efficiency in the spinning mills. The improved
gliding characteristics allow for an increase of the spindle rpms by up to
+1000 rpm and prolong the life of the traveller by up to +50%.
Graf will present the wide range of
products and service solutions for carding and combing, strengthening the
leading position as a complete system provider.
Spindles with modern ring spinning machines
can reach speeds up to 25,000 rpm. In these high-speed applications energy
consumption is an important issue. Novibra is proud to introduce the new LENA
(Low Energy consumption and Noise Absorption) high-speed spindles. LENA design
has been developed from well-proven Novibra Noise Absorbing System Assembly
(NASA) which ensures minimum neck bearing load, minimum vibration and significantly
lower noise level at high speed.
For Suessen, it will demonstrate the
leadership in Compact Ring Spinning and Open-End Rotor Spinning Technology. One
of the exhibit highlights is the EliTe CompactSet which is one of the world’s
most in demand compact spinning systems. The EliTe CompactSet Advanced
impresses customers with the innovative components and devices as the new
EliTop Advanced with EliSpring, EliTube Advanced, Micramics insert and S+
lattice apron making the system even more attractive and more competitive in
the market.
