Open width knits processing

Singeing

The preliminary decision for quality fabric.

Singeing is a very popular process to upgrade the fabric in the first step. Additionally, it keeps dirt out of the following processes. When choosing Kusters Calico singeing technology, the foundation for uniform quality is laid. Kusters Calico provides the highest possible singeing effects, automated process control, low energy-consumption with versatile range of application.

Singeing Position

Flame meets at right-angle onto dense woven fabric freely guided between 2 rollers, recommended for natural fibres and blends.

Onto water cooled roller

Flame meets at right-angle onto the fabric passing over a water cooled roller, recommended for fabrics made of temperature sensitive fibers

Tangential singeing

Flame passes tangentially over the fabric guided over a water cooled roller recommendable for fabrics which cannot tolerate direct exposure to flame and for repair of filamentation.

Execution for knitted fabrics

Bleaching

Long dwelling time for smooth and safe steaming in the bleaching process. In continuous bleaching the heating-up phase, dwelling of the fabric before the plaiting and reaction time in the steamer must be taken into consideration.

The softknit bleach elements ensure:

An even steam distribution for the entire process.
Heating-up and dwelling zone for fabric without stains with careful fabric transfer by driven drums.
Safe plaiting and turning onto belt by means of proven and tested plaiting device.
Smooth take-up, spreading and tension control in outlet section at handling over to following washing aggregate.
Steam saturator and automatic steam control cloud control for evenly saturated steam.

Cold Pad Batch

Transfer to winding without curled edges.
Electrically driven center winder with mobile platform, control of winding tension and winding hardness over the entire length.

Controlled nip pressures of S-Roll

Nip pressure uniform over the full width

Washing

Softknit with Single or Double Washing Compartment

Intensive washing effect through washing with water steam mixture

Innovative liquor application for working with water-stem mixtures
Acceleration of diffusion processes due to increased temperature (temperature increase of 100 C accelerates diffusion by about 50%)
Direct steam injection into liquor circulation with continuous temperature control
Even application by support - free wide jet nozzles
Fields of application: Size/diffusion colour fastness washing reaction time processes

Finishing Padder

Uniform linear pressure over the entire roller width, also in the case of varying nip pressures by means of a "Swimming Roll" with continuous deflection control
Service-free pressure application unit
Liquor trough, lifted and lowered pneumatically, heating and cooling possible, minimum liquor content
Several trough designs available
