The concept grew out of a demand for shorter washing ranges and lower water consumption, says the company. This washing unit has been specially designed as the final wash unit in washing ranges to eliminate residual contamination attached to fibres. Drawing liquor through the fabric achieves high mechanical washing effect and makes it possible to reduce the number of compartments needed in a washing range. Inside the main compartment, the fabric passes two submerged suction tubes for positive interchange of the liquid thro- ugh the fabric.
All water is recycled.
As the fabric emerges from the bath, it passes through a spray section and squeeze rollers. Compensators control the tension and feed. Finally the fabric passes a second SVW which removes remaining contaminants and reduces the moisture content, leading to saving in time and energy in any subsequent drying process.
