THEN-AIRFLOW SYNERGY® - the lowest
liquor ratio on the market
|
With ecology and
ethical production methods being the most pressing issues of
the day in textile processing, THEN will focus on presenting
tested green solutions for piece dyeing at ITME India in
Bangalore during 15th-22nd November 2008. |
THEN-AIRFLOW SYNERGY® represents the
combined result of the entire technological possibilities
provided by the latest, patented THEN-AIRFLOW technology. All
technical possibilities and functions, economic and ecological
advantages are resulting in advantages which were unobtainable
with other available dyeing technology.
The advantages are as follows:
v
The lowest liquor ratio on the market: synthetic
fibres approx. 1:2, natural fibres 1:3 to 1:4, depending on the
article and structure.
v
Up to 2/3 reduction in the consumption of water.
v
Maximum efficiency to improve sustainability.
v
Highest flexibility for knits and woven with
regard to all fibres (except pure wool) and fabrics weight
classes between 30-800 g/m, as well as all standard market
dyestuffs.
v
Air as a transport medium, while all other systems
need water.
v
A reduction in the overall process time of around
25%.
v
Lowest water/wastewater levels, which represent an
ecologically sound and ethical solution.
Dyeing process with fully automatic control
results in a considerable shortening of the dyeing process and
excellent reproducibility.

THEN-AIRFLOW SYNERGY®. |
Massive time savings being achieved through
the effective use of the unique THEN-AIRFLOW® “Direct Rinse”
method in combination with the “Power Rinse” process. These time
savings are increased even further by precisely matching
components, the most important of which are:
v
The newly “continuous self cleaning” filter system
ensures highest quality, lint-free surface and greatly reduces
the setting times between batches. The lint is washed away
automatically at the end of the process.
v
THEN-AIRFLOW SYNERGY® is the only dyeing machine
in the world to offer hot drain at temperatures up to 130°C
while the fabric is in motion. This is possible during
pre-bleaching and dyeing and, depending on the process, results
in time savings of 15-30 minutes. In the case of polyester
items, oligomers are removed in a dissolved state by the hot
drain process.
Controlled dyeing with TDS
The THEN range of control products was
developed for an interconnected automation system in dye houses.
The TDS supervisory system integrates THEN products, products of
other manufacturers and PC-control systems or host-computers to
a common dyehouse system.
The TDS offers unique functions exclusive
to THEN. They shorten the dyeing processes, by optimizing the
capacities of the dyeing machines. This system can be linked for
seamless database interactions with order handling systems,
recipe management systems or process optimization systems.
