Bruckner (www.brueckner-tm.de), for decades one of the leading producers of complete finishing lines for woven and knitted fabrics and for technical textiles, will present in ITM 2004 their complete program with their latest product developments and their new after sales services.

Power-line Stenter The new POWER-LINE single-layer stenter combines fresh air/exhaust air concept with automatic air flow control to achieve a minimum energy consumption. This leads to the ideal adjustment of the exhaust and fresh air volumes to the drying and heat-setting processes by exhaust air humidity control and targeted fresh air supply to the individual compartments. Opti-Shrink compressive shrinking ranges OPTI-SHRINK for finishing woven fabrics, denim and even some delicate knitgoods. The advantages include:

OPTI-RELAX, a new relaxation dryer by Brückner

optimum compacting effect and thus minimum residual shrinkage; maximum production speed with consistent fabric quality; optimum and uniform fabric appearance and a maximum operating safety.

OPTI-COMPACT compacting calender
This machine ensures the soft compacting of high-quality and open-width knitted fabrics, with a substantially reduced residual shrinkage potential and an optimum smooth, voluminous fabric handle.

Pad-Dry-/Thermosol Ranges
New Hotflue Dryer COLOR-THERM offer symmetrical, large-volume air circulation system ensuring uniform dyeing results. The large roller diameter and flexible individual drives of all

upper rollers ensures a crease-free, low-tension cloth run. New Infrared Radiant Dryer INFRA-THERM is based on infrared radiant heaters made of a homogeneous and specially sintered metal filament material, so that the dryer is ready for operation almost immediately, which results in maximum productivity and reproducibility.

OPTI-RELAX relaxation dryer
The efficient drying with OPTI-RELAX leads to a shrink-fast finish with optimum tumbling effect, more bulkiness and a soft, voluminous fabric hand and leads to minimum residual shrinkage results.
