Asian debuts for Monforts innovations
Quality, performance and reliability have been the hallmarks of Monforts image as one of the world’s leading suppliers of textile finishing machines for more than a hundred years. New double-sided Softcoating and Sanforisor make their Asian debuts at ITMA ASIA + CITME to ensure significant energy savings with high efficiency finishing.

Under the theme ‘Energy savings with high efficiency finishing’, Monforts will be introducing a new double-sided Softcoating unit and a new Sanforisor at ITMA-ASIA & CITME in Hall W5, Booth D04.

Advanced solutions for finishing technical textiles will also be introduced together with the latest upgrade and modernization kits from Monforts Parts & Components department.

Double-sided softcoating

The new double-sided Softcoating process provides energy savings in drying processes with reduced liquor application, utilizing trough and roller techniques, to apply just the required amount of liquid/coating to the fabric via contact with the roller.

Liquid can be applied to both sides of the fabric or to one side and a different liquid to the other side.

Applications include nano coating, water repellency, softeners and pigment dyeing.  Used primarily for clothing applications, the soft coating process can, for example, apply soil-to-water-repellency to one side of the fabric and softener or water absorption, respectively, to the second side.

The new Monforts process, in some cases, eliminates the need for a conventional padder in wet-in-wet processes, applying the liquid/coating via a twin-roller for double-sided applications.

Compared with a padder operation, the initial moisture content of 60% is reduced to 40% using the Softcoating process; ensuring a reduction in drying times and reduced energy costs.

New Sanforisor

The latest compressive shrinkage Sanforisor, for woven (Monfortex) and knitted (Toptex) fabrics offers increased residual shrinkage and higher production speeds up to 20% faster than other Sanforisors.

Other features include automatic grinding of the rubber blanket, 40% reduced water consumption for cooling and substantial time savings for blanket changes.

New solution for technical textiles

Monforts will present the latest range configurations for coating and high-temperature processes as well as flow through driers for bonding processes of nonwovens.

Monforts Parts Stores

A more proactive service operation offering a wider range of services and products  including modification  and modernization kits for mechanical and electrical components to give older ranges modern, up to date, production performance,  will be highlighted at the exhibition.

Represented by Al Ameen Trading Corporation, Monforts has enjoyed the trust of numerous customers in Pakistan.
