BRÜCKNER presents solutions for efficient energy saving in finishing processes

In dyeing processes the dyeing padder, the radiation dryer and the Hotflue considerably influence the dyeing result. In the field of pre-dryers, the systems supplier BRÜCKNER offers the particularly efficient infrared gas pre-dryer POWER-INFRATHERM. The innovative technology concept of the infrared predryer ensures reproducible and homogeneous dyeing results. POWER-INFRATHERM can be used in addition flexibly in thermosol processes and for the finishing of technical textiles.

Immediate readiness for production and high reliability

BRÜCKNER uses in this infrared gas radiator special metal fibre burners. Within a few seconds after the start they reach the preselected process temperature with absolute uniformity across the complete fabric width. This guarantees constant and migration-free drying conditions for the complete batch. In case of an unplanned fabric stop, the radiators cool just as rapidly so that the fabric web cannot burn. The special gas/air mixture preparation concept used by BRÜCKNER allows - depending on the requirements - a continuous adjustment in the infrared temperature range between 500 °C and 900 °C.

POWER-INFRATHERM - innovative infrared pre-dryer.

Crease-free fabric passage and uniform migration-free drying

The compact modular construction with a short vertical fabric passage ensures a crinkle-free cloth run. The large-volume exhaust air lock ensures in addition the uniform, migration-free drying. Several radiator modules can be arranged above each other, which allows to plan the dyeing range specifically for the different articles.

No risk of stripes formation

The individual segments used for BRÜCKNER's POWER-INFRATHERM radiators row have the form of a parallelogram. The metal studs between the segments are turned by 45° to the direction of the fabric run. On the opposite radiator row the turn is to the other side providing for a complete cover of the radiation. The drying intensity is absolutely homogeneous and constant across the width of fabric and the risk of stripes can be excluded.

No undefined fresh air leakage

The POWER-INFRATHERM radiation dryer is provided with a closed housing. Fresh air only enters through the lower fabric slot, but not in the area of radiators or doors. Undesired entry of fresh air with detriment to the colouring can thus be excluded.

Low maintenance and long service life

These radiators stand out for their backfire-proves and their resistance against mechanical shock and spray water. Another important feature is their long service life and low maintenance.

New generation of high-capacity POWER-SHRINK sanforizing lines.

POWER-SHRINK: High-capacity generation of sanforizing lines

Sanforizing is the last process in the textile finishing chain. The finishing specialist BRÜCKNER reworked completely this process and developed a new generation of high-capacity sanforizing lines which are officially certified under the SANFOR label. The aim of the sanforizing process are the minimization of residual shrinkage, the stabilization of the fabric structure, the final surface treatment of the fabric or the improvement of the fabric hand. Typical end products are fabrics for shirts or trousers, home textiles, working clothes, tent canvas or protective sheathing.

Performance data of POWER-SHRINK sanforizing line:

v     Best residual shrinkage of 1 - 0 % due to the high-tech drive concept and rollers with load cells.

v     A production output increased by 20 to 40 percent due to optimized geometric proportions at the rubber belt line.

v     Uniform and constant shrinkage thanks to technically sophisticated shrinkage control.

v     The line meets the highest requirements regarding fabric quality and is registered under the sanforized label.

v     Reproducible fabric quality (all machine parameters are automated / PLC controlled, a styles management is standard).

v     Extended service life of rubber belt.

v     User-friendly utilization of the machine via touch-screen monitor.
