Continuous de-oiling and scouring machines for textile finishing

Process

Scouring: the highly efficient combined action of several baths in counter-flow with adjustable high pressure spraying nozzles ensures excellent degreasing results and extremely effective dirty removal.

Drying: the two dry systems, drum and conveyor belt, assure the complete textile fabric drying even if it has particular structure or with severe selvedge curling. In the drier, the air is recycled in a closed loop comprising a condensing device which assures the adequate solvent/air saturation conditions for a complete fabric drying.

Deodorizing: the unit, at the machine exit, in which the residual solvent smell on fabric is removed by clean air, properly recycled in a closed loop circuit with a device to filter in continuous the air recycled.

Solvent recovery: all the dirty solvent, coming from scouring unit is recovered by distilling.

The oils/sludge accumulation is kept under control by a totally automatic discharge loop, which starts whenever the accumulation level overcome limit set.

Distilled solvent is stored in solvent clean tank from where is again taken to be used in the scouring unit.

Contact water treatment: the water which got in contact with solvent is treated by a specific/device to remove any solvent residues allowing a discharge of unpolluted water.

The described process and recovery-filtering systems assure the closed loop of NOVA operating process. This means that there is not exchanges of air with external environment.

The process is in compliance with the strict and stringent environmental regulations as the European and USA.

Solvent consumption ( as pct. of scoured fabric weight) < 2%

• No environment impact
• Solvent scouring a huge water saving
• Energy required for drying reduced nearly 10 times the energy comsumption
• No use of auxiliary chemicals or detergents
• Minimal solvent consumption (<2% of the weight of the fabric scoured)
• Reduced both operating costs and pollution from the stenter
• Best preparation for heat-setting
• The solvent is recycled continuously
• The system is safely sealed
• Full compliance with the strict environmental regulations of Japan, Germany, Europe, USA and Switzerland
