Achievedbythefabriccomingintocontactwiththeliquoratthetwo
differentpointalongitspathassistinginthefabricmovement.
The natural deceleration of the fabric after its exit from the first overflow
is eliminatedas the fabric reaches the second flow.
This is the reason how the higher fabric transport rate can be achieved
through lower water pressure.
This leads to significant reduction in the mechanical abrasion.

10. CONTD…
100% increase in fabric to liquor exchange.
Safer dyeing condition & reduced dyeing time.
Low liquor dyeing without compromise with fabric quality.

13. ELBOW PLAITING SYSTEM
Correct storage of fabric is one of the most important element in reducing
tensionand creasing of the fabric.
Ensuring smooth, tangle free operation throughout the dye cycle.
Unique plaiting system has been developed and patented.
Perfect storage of the fabric utilizing entire width of the box.
Eliminates blind spot.

14. LIQUOR BY-PASS SYSTEM
Automatic surplus liquor by-pass.
Channel the liquid away from the
box.
Prevent affecting the orderly
storage of the fabric.

15. SPEED SYSTEM
The fabric speed in fabric lifting system and fabric plaiting
speed are synchronizedto ensure and orderly fabric plaiting
across the full width of the storage chamber to maximize the
batch capacity while reducing the chance of fabric tangling.

ADVANTAGES

20. THEN-AIRFLOW AFA –the reasonable
alternative
Capacity:
50-1350 Kg.
Applications:
Aerodynamic High
Temperature Piece Dyeing
Machine.

21. GENERAL DESCRIPTION &MAIN
FEATURES
Aerodynamic HT dyeing
machine
The liquor is finely atomised
and sprayed evenly onto the
surface of the textile.
Fabric transport by means of
the air-steam mixture.
The fabric is constantly in
motion from loading to the
batch end, even during the
discharge and filling
processes.

22. CONSTRUCTION FEATURES
Smooth teflon bottom
Frequency controlled winch drive
Special blower for fabric drive
Service temperatur 140°C
Reduction of proces time by 25%.

23. SPECIAL FEATURES
1Safe fabric trans­port, optimum displacement
and little crease formation are ensured by
the aerodynamic drive.
2By means of the active fabric run con­trol a
slip regulation is possible, facilitating the
exact monitoring of fabric speed and the
best possible fabric handling.
3The unique rinsing method by spraying fresh
water allows short processing times with
best rinsing effect.

24. CONTD…
5Optimized fabric smooth plaiter
ensures an excellent displace­ment
of the fabric.
6Combined PTFE slide bottom
consists of foil and sliding rods for
the best careful treatment of fabric
surface and a smooth transport in
the storage chamber.

27. SPECIAL FEATURES
RINSEtronic
It automatically calculates the correct rinsing procedure to
arrive at a bath residual salt content of less than 1g/l
only necessary thingis to enter the salt concentration and
the depth of shade in the dye program
RESULT:
shorter cycle time
lower water consumption
reduced effluent
