Spain-based lining fabric producer Textil A. Ortiz recently commissioned a fourth Monforts Montex tenter from Germany-based A. Monforts Textilmaschinen GmbH & Co. KG. The nine-chamber Montex 8500-9F installation at Textil A. Ortiz’s Santa Perpètua de Mogoda facility features direct gas heating, a Hercules needle chain, Matex finishing padder and two heat exchangers. The equipment is used to finish fabrics with softeners, water repellents and flame retardants.
Altoteks, a specialist in dyeing and finishing fabrics for workwear and uniforms, has installed its third Monforts Thermex continuous dyeing range at its Çorlu, Turkey facility. The company already operates two Thermex units and a Montex finishing range as part of its annual 18-million-meter dyeing and printing operation. The new two-meter-wide line includes three linked Thermex units, gas-powered infrared predryers, and cold pad batch winding. It also features the Econtrol® process for reactive dyes, designed to support faster, simplified continuous dyeing.
