Monforts will exhibit finishing technologies at Igatex, Pakistan.

These include Montex stentering equipment, Monfortex sanforizing units and Thermex dyeing ranges. Monforts will emphasise the robustness and versatility of the Montex stenter for essential processes such as drying, stretching, heatsetting and coating. Monforts has also achieved considerable success in Pakistan with its Econtrol dyeing system – an effective and established dyeing process.

More than 40 Thermex continuous dyeing ranges have been installed in Pakistan in recent years and operator training on the Econtrol process by sophisticated technologists is an additional service. The Econtrol pad-dry process has a number of immediate benefits. Compared to the common pad-dry-pad-steam process, no salt is used and no steamer is required for a separate fixation step. Compared to the pad-dry-thermo fix process, no urea is used and no smoke or deposits are generated, and unlike with the cold pad batch process direct feedback of the dyeing results ensures no batching time is necessary and guarantees good reproducibility from the lab to bulk production. Waste water treatment is also improved by this technology. Monforts provides a range of further resource-saving and energy recovery options tailored to each individual line installation.

Igatex is a textile machinery exhibition which will take place in Pakistan, December 1 to 4, 2022.
