Growing overseas demand for Spanish Machinery

Italian-TextileMachineryThe Spanish Textile Machinery manufacturing companies presented their latest technologies in areas like spinning, braiding, technical fabric, dyeing, finishing and printing.

Electro-Jet’s ADR Rovematic is a roving frame with flyers format to choose between 16×6” or 16×7”. With its fast doffing (90 seconds) it starts automatically after doffing, without the need for any intervention of the operator. This allows a notable reduction of the machine stop time, increasing significantly this way the production of each roving frame.

Galan Textile Machinery presented its heavy duty ring doubling & twisting machines. With ring diameters from 100 up to 400 mm (4” up to 16”), two-for-one twisters with capacity for 300 x 300 mm (12×12), and heavy duty precision cross winders for production of cylindrical or conical bobbins, with or without tube from 4×4”, 6×6”, 8×8”, 10×10” up to 12×12”.

Gali International displayed its flat screen printing machine for long table to obtain printed fabrics of great accuracy, an unlimited amount of colours, high quality and versatility. LM, LXP and LMU carriages are the best option for screen printing upon long table in electronic version (LM and LMU) and pneumatic (LXP).

Gomplast is known for its mercerising and bleaching technologies. Its Hypalon polymer helps resist the worst chemical conditions, that is to say, high temperature with oxidizing and alkaline products such as caustic soda and hydrogen peroxide. In dyeing, the Flexopad swimming rolls are based on the popular hydraulic pressure control ssystem, inside the metal core, Flexopad rollers help you achieve a regular contact zone all through the width of the cylinders that guarantees a homogeneous distribution of the dye or the maximum squeeze in case of high pressure padders.

The Biflex high squeeze system is a combination of polymers that results in a high hardness material with outstanding elastic recuperation under high working pressures that makes it ideal for high squeeze positions, yielding a highly efficient transmission of the compression power at the NIP.

Icomatex is known for its IC 10 stenter for knits and IC 8 stenter for wovens. The stenter ranges from Icomatex come in many various models. Those can also be equipped with the unique Dual-Heat (gas and oil) system.

The Icomatex stenter gives you a wide range of options to let you process the fabric the way you like. Produced in Europe, it features the latest in technology. The highly efficient chambers are 3 mts long with individual control of the airflow, to ensure even temperature in the processing chamber.

Icowash is probably the best washing box ever made. It is designed to upgrade existing washing and bleaching ranges. If you have a line which is not washing enough or is running too slow, the company can upgrade the performance of the system.

Jaume Anglada Viñas marks the new generation of Turbang tumblers that offer you better quality, lower processing cost and environmentally friendly system. Turbang-TSE-Plus is a new continuous tumbler dyer for open-width fabrics that offers all the advantages of the previous Turbang models. It also incorporates improvements brought about by new technologies. Much lower maintenance costs, much higher drying performance, specially in towels, implementation of every safety measure for workers during machine operation, and much improved performance, quality and competitive pricing make the product attractive.
