TEXTILE DRYING

Fabrics - Spools - Ribbons

Almost all types of natural, man-made, and artificial fibers, whether in loose or combed and spun form or as continuous filaments, whether pure or blended, in any gauge or configuration, can be thoroughly dried to the desired residual moisture level with exceptional efficiency and superior outcomes. These exceptional results cannot be attained through any conventional hot air drying system.

  • Common Materials:* Cotton - Wool - Acrylic - Viscose - Linen - Silk - Nylon - Non woven
  • Common Products:* Fabrics - Yarn - Bump - Bobbin - Loose Fiber - Hosiery - Carpet - Moquette

Our main finishing “Full Electrics” radiofrequency applications:

1. Drying of Fabrics

This approach encompasses a wide range of fibers—cotton, wool, acrylic, viscose, linen, silk, polyester (PES), and nylon—and serves fabrics of various kinds, including woven and non-woven textiles, hosiery, and carpets (moquette).

In terms of applications, the technology supports:

  • Fabric pre-drying before stenter finishing: which helps to avoid a second pass through the stenter for both drying and finishing. This yields meaningful benefits: energy savings of about 50% compared with conventional technology and a shorter overall processing time, since you can complete drying in one pass rather than two.
  • Fabric free-drying after a continuous washing line: after a continuous washing line, the fabric can undergo free-drying to reach a controlled residual moisture level, preparing it for the next steps while maintaining higher quality standards and saving time.
  • Stand-alone configuration: with unwinding inlet and winding/folding outlet.

2. Drying of Yarns

This approach covers a broad range of fibers—cotton, wool, acrylic, viscose, linen, silk, polyester (PES), and nylon—and is applied to a variety of yarn-related products, including bobbins, bumps, and loose fiber.

In terms of applications, the technology supports:

  • Bobbin – Bumps: to ensure the desired residual moisture level with exceptional efficiency and superior outcomes, delivering results that are not achievable with conventional hot-air drying technologies.
  • Loose fiber: the radio frequency (RF) drying method, used after carbonization, bleaching, or dyeing, as well as after batch or continuous centrifugal hydro extraction, offers several advantages: reduced product losses, more uniform and thorough drying, and improved physical-mechanical properties of the fibers. These improvements translate into more efficient downstream processes for carding, combing, and spinning, ultimately yielding a higher yarn metric—potentially up to a 2% increase.

The FLUX Advantage

Low consumption

Low consumption and 100% fully electric technology. The overall efficiency of the process. With an evaporation rate of 1.5 Lt/hour of water for every kW of RF power, FLUX technology is the most efficient and money-saving method for the drying of textile products.

Low thermal stress

No changes in colors and low thermal stress. The water extraction process involves a very mild and insignificant thermal transfer to the product and external environment; the transfer of the energy is provided with surgical precision to the water molecules only.

No emissions or polluting products

The technology is 100% electric and carbon-free; it does not require any filtering systems, environmental control, or use of disposable sources of power.

Thermal efficiency and preparation time

High thermal efficiency, low environmental heating, and elimination of preparation time. The drying of textile products is processed instantly with RF, with negligible thermal losses and without any preparation or preheating time.
