NEW Revolution in the textile industry Weber Ultrasonics GmbH Sustainable and efficient ultrasonic solution for industrial textile treatment )) Weber Ultrasonics‘ new ultrasonic solution for textile treatment machines offers numerous impressive advantages for the textile industry: on the one hand it reduces the quantities of chemicals needed for processes such as desizing, bleaching and mercerising by an average of 30 percent, while on the other water consumption is reduced by around a third, with the washing unit impressing with a speed of 70 metres per minute. At the same time, a homogeneous and high­ er-quality result is achieved more quickly in all treatments. This innovative ultrasonic solution not only makes textile treatment significantly more sustainable, but also more efficient. The ultrasonic system, which can easily be integrated into existing processes, also delivers better results in a shorter time frame. In wet chemical processes employed for textile treatment, ultrasonic waves increase the absorption capacity of the fabric, thus strengthening the chemical reaction. Products used for desizing, dyeing, bleaching and impregnating penetrate the textiles faster and more intensively. Moreover, the effect of ultrasound improves the cleaning power of the water for subsequent washing processes. All treatments can be performed at significantly reduced temperatures. Geratex, an Indian manufacturer of textile treatment machines, developed this innovative procedure with ultrasound together with Weber Ultrasonics with the aim of optimising processes in industrial textile treatment. The ultrasonic solution ensures gentle and homogeneous treatment. A key part of the system is the fully digital SONOPOWER DIGITAL 3S ultrasonic generator, which optimally fulfils process requirements with its performance and innovative technology. Geratex has integrated the revolutionary ultrasound solution from Weber Ultrasonics in the SonicPreg modules for desizing, SonicBleach for bleaching, SonicSoft for mercerisation and SonicWash for washing.
