All China Printers And Dyers Association Recognizes Monforts' Technology

In an effort to help Chinese textile mills reduce energy and water usage, the All China Printers And Dyers Association has published a manual presenting approaches dyers and finishers may take in order to make their processes more efficient, economical and environmentally friendly. Suggestions include adopting Germany-based A. Monforts Textilmaschinen GmbH & Co. KG’s E-Control process for continuous dyeing and Monforts’ latest heat recovery system for its Montex tenters.

E-Control achieves dyeing results with woven and knitted fabrics in minutes rather than the typical 12 to 24 hours required with other processes. Results are immediate when the process is used in discontinuous processes, enabling fabrics to be processed immediately.

According to Monforts, the heat recovery system found on Montex tenters achieves a 30-percent reduction in energy usage by capturing waste heat used in thermal processing and exhaust air and discharging it into the heat exchanger where it is used to preheat fresh air.

In recognition of these technologies, the association presented Monforts representatives with certificates of appreciation at its recent annual meeting in Changzhou, Jiangsu province.
