Complex and unusual specifications had to be met by Monforts for a recent installation of a new Montex 8500 stenter line at Curt Bauer GmbH, Aue/Germany.
Curt Bauer has been in continuous operation for 150 years, and today has an annual production of 2.2 million m of fabric and specializes in 3 key fields – home textiles, special damask fabrics for West African garments and technical textiles.
Singeing, bleaching, mercerizing, piece dyeing, finishing and calendering – all possible in widths of up to 3.2 m – are all central to the success of these special wovens. In addition, the company can dye polyester (PET) and fix it before carrying out any further high-level finishing required.
A new Montex 8500 line from A. Monforts Textilmaschinen GmbH & Co. KG, Mönchengladbach/Germany, with a working width of 3.2 m equipped with the MonforClean heat recovery and exhaust air purification system was installed at Curt Bauer. It has a long service life and with MonforClean technology, the waste heat from the drying process is used to pre-heat the drying air. This results in a radical reduction in the conventional heat supply required, compared to full gas and thermal oil heating. Overall energy savings of up to 40% can now be achieved compared to conventional stenters.
