Modular process control system TEXTILE NONWOVEN COATING & CONVERTING OPTIPAC® VMC-15 A modular system for measuring, logging and controlling critical process parameters over the entire working width, such as dwell time, thread density, residual moisture, grammage, exhaust air moisture, etc. Area of application Textile manufacturers and finishers fight with rising production and energy costs, declining profit margins, shorter production times as well as higher requirements on quality and flexibility. Cost-efficient and quality-focused textile outfitting thus becomes increasingly important....

The Optipac VMC is a modular process control system for textile refinement. It optimises drying or fixing processes as well as the processes all about the stenter. The system measures, logs and regulates critical process parameters such as dwell time, thread density, residual moisture, grammage or exhaust air moisture over the entire working width. This increases quality and saves resources and energy. The modular design of the system allows its flexible adaptation to all applications. Both, standard requirements and highly customized demands are thus met. The system can also be integrated...

Principle of operation Aqualot AMF / HMF Mahlo straightening and process control system for stenters Orthopac RVMC + Famacont PMC + Optipac VMC The Optipac is a modular process control system for a variety of important parameters in textile finishing. Different intelligent sensors can be connected to the base unit via a bus connection. Different process parameters can be measured, visualized, controlled and documented by means of special software packages, e.g. Printserver. The touchscreen of the system displays the measurements. Indivi­ dually modifiable displays of the measured values...

NONWOVEN COATING & CONVERTING PERMASET VMT Dwell time control Reliable dwell time control is indispensable for maximum economy of production and maximum product quality. Permaset VMT makes a key contribution to this end. Area of application Without knowledge of what’s happening during a fixing, thermo-isolating, condensing or gelling process in the drying chambers, the stenter has to be looked at like a block box. The user had only his own experience to fall back on. Settings for circulation temperature and stenter speed have to be determined empirically. To ensure adequate process...

middle, right). The system uses the trend of the rising temperature curve to determine with point accuracy when the preselected nominal temperature has been reached. Depending on the product properties (material composition, product weight, initial moisture) this temperature is reached at different points in the dryer, so that multiple sensors are required (normally 3 to 8, and up to64), to ensure adequate definition of the temperature trend. If the web speed is known, this can be used to determine and thereby regulate the time period during which the product is subjected to a given...

NONWOVEN COATING & CONVERTING FAMACONT PMC WEFT THREAD AND COURSE DENSITY CONTROL Continuous exact scanning of the weft thread or course density is an important factor for quality optimisation when finishing textile products. Area of application The Famacont PMC is a reliable instrument for non-contacting, inprocess determination of the weft thread / course count. Essential parameters such as weight, stretch / shrinkage are thus monitored and controlled. The Famacont PMC is an important tool for the finisher: Quality requirements of the customers are complied with; costs due to rejects and...

Regelungsstrategie A clever feed forward control algorithm and two scanners ensure outstanding results on the stenter. By optimising the weft thread and course density, homogeneous product appearance and consistent residual shrinkage values are achieved. Even with short-frequency changes in thread density the target value is immediately adjusted to the actual value as soon as the product arrives at the stenter infeed. By automatically checking the result again at the delivery, additional fine-adjustment of the setpoint value is made at the infeed. The sensor at the stenter infeed is in most...

NONWOVEN COATING & CONVERTING GRAVIMAT FMI Grammage measurement The weight monitoring and control system measures the grammage continuously and without contact on the moving product web. Area of application The correct grammage is a decisive quality criterion in many process technologies in the textile industry and coating technology. Monitoring, control and logging of this parameter is therefore a decisive process step. The key is to determine the grammage under the given industrial conditions online and with high repeatability. In addition to ensuring product quality, an appropriate...
