The top four high-performance machines from Santex:
SANTACOMPACT RD
The SANTACOMPACT RD provides the best dimensional stability for the finishing of high-quality open-width knitted fabrics.
- Specially designed chain, lubrication-free, low maintenance. Stainless steel chain rails – high strength and light weight – reduced power requirement
- Completely electronically controlled with the latest automation technology, using load cell, PLC, user-friendly touch screen
- Digitally controlled shoe adjustment in the compacting zones
- V-steam-box: most efficient, automatically adjustable for different widths, 100% coverage and moistening of fabrics, easy to clean
- Inbuilt manual weft straightener for correcting the skew on the fabric
- Integrated control panel at the entry of the machine for efficient space utilization, compact machine design
- Tensionless and distortion-free pinning with short, direct and crease-free feed into the compacting unit
- Condensate-free steam box with compensation for different widths, completely corrosion-resistant version
- Heatable smoothing and shrinking rollers for a softer fabric touch
- Specially designed compacting zones, overfeed (pinning) zones
- Specially designed elastic felt belt in both compacting units
- Easy maintenance, better accessibility of mechanical components
- Left and right chain speeds can be adjusted relative to each other to help when straightening the weft
- 3 felt belt compacting units for higher production speed
- Excellent dimensional stability for structured fabrics without compromising the 3-dimensional knitted structure
- High speed compacting
Santacompact RD Plus
Suitable for fabrics made of natural and man-made fibers, it provides the minimum possible residual shrinkage values through the three compacting zones and delicate handling of fabric through the machine.
- Equalizing frame with individual chain drive and especially new designed chain, lubrication-free, low maintenance. Stainless steel chain rails – high strength and lightweight – reduced power requirement
- Motor-driven middle support
- Tensionless and distortion-free pinning with short, direct and crease-free feed into the compacting unit
- Condensate-free steam box with compensation for different widths, completely corrosion-resistant version
- 3rd compacting zone with large heating roller diameter and specially designed steam box in front of it
- Specially designed elastic felt belt in all three compacting zones
- Heatable smoothing and shrinking rollers for a softer touch
- Completely electronically controlled with the latest automation technology, using load cell, PLC, user-friendly touch screen
- Digitally controlled shoe adjustment in the compacting zones
- V-steam-box: most efficient, automatically adjustable for different widths, 100% coverage and moistening of fabrics, easy to clean
- Inbuilt manual weft straightener for correcting the skew on the fabric
- Integrated control panel at the entry of the machine for efficient space utilization, compact machine design
- Heatable smoothing and shrinking rollers for a softer fabric touch
- Specially designed compacting zones, overfeed (pinning) zones
- Specially designed elastic felt belt in both compacting units
- Easy maintenance, better accessibility of mechanical components
- Left and right chain speeds can be adjusted relative to each other to help when straightening the weft
- 3 felt belt compacting units for higher production speed
- Excellent dimensional stability for structured fabrics without compromising the 3-dimensional knitted structure
- High speed compacting
SANTASHRINK PROGRESS
The Santashrink Standard enables tension-free shrinking and relax drying of both tubular and open-width knitted fabrics. Available in multiple configurations, the dryer’s length and number of chambers can be tailored to meet specific drying capacity requirements.
- Easy operation
- High water evaporation power
- High productivity
- Very economical energy consumption
- Extremely uniform temperature distribution in the drying zone
- Highly effective thermal insulation
- Finely adjustable drive system for individual functional ranges, independently controlled
- Distance between upper and lower nozzles adjustable
- Intensive steam and vibration field to achieve a particularly advantageous residual shrinkage and fabric volume
- Excellent residual shrinkage values
- Bulky and soft fabric
- Tensionless outlet
- Very low maintenance sequences
- Easy addition of chambers and other components like pin frame and padders at a later stage
Santasynpact
Independent left and right chain speeds, manual weft straightener and independently variable central fabric support belt speed provides extra flexibility in fabric handling and, if desired, course angle adjustment. The automatic belt grinding system reduces operator error and extends the efficiency and production life of the belt. Low maintenance stainless steel chain and chain rails require less energy.
