| Boxmeer (Netherlands), 24 August 2007 Finishing equipement for everyone At ITMA Munich 2007, 13 to 20 September, the SETeMa products will been shown at the booth of Aleph (Hall A2, Booth 303/404), as both parties agreed upon the end of July. SETeMa’s focus towards all textile finishing processes around printing applications, has lead to a broad range of finishing equipment. Modularity, highest possible performance and a low energy and water consumption are the key words in the product line formed by pre-coat, fixation, washing, finishing and drying systems. Products can, even afterwards, be combined in each requested configuration, giving each customer the most flexible solution with a minimal investment. The Porta-Pad coating unit, for a broad variety of textiles, comes with a vacuum slit system which allows a simple and reproducible way to apply coating and finishing chemicals. The Porta-Clean washing unit, developed for the flag and banner market, removes coatings and non-fixated dyestuffs with a minimal fresh water consumption of only 1.8-3.4 l/min dependent of the fabric width. The system is developed with a water recycling and counterflow heat ex¬changer to meet the requirements of minimum wastewater and energy consumption for a cost effective production. The Portafix Universal steam/air fixation unit is suitable for the fixation of all textile dyestuffs, with temperatures in the range 100 to 180°C and dwell times between 2 and 30 minutes. It is equipped with a build-in steam generator. A cunning technology guarantees a maximal colour yield with absolute consistency and reproducibility with a low fresh steam consumption. The fixation units can be delivered in 3, 6, 9 and 11 linear meters content and are afterwards upgradeable to 11 meters. All equipment comes with maintenance-free chains which drive all rolls, thus ensuring a stress-free fabric transport in all units. All SETeMa products are available in 3 substrate widths: 1.85, 2.50 and 3.40 m. The newly introduced Portafix Universal, in a width of 3.4 meter, and the Porta-Clean, in a width of 2.5 meter, will be shown at the ITMA 2007   |
Boxmeer (Netherlands), 20 April 2007 SETeMa B.V. introduces at the FESPA 2007 in Berlin (booth no. J155 / hall 25) their new 3400 mm (133.9") wide fixation unit for the fixation of all textile dyes, the Portafix Universal 3400. The Portafix Universal 3400 is designed specifically for the wide format textile printing market and is suitable for all fabrics printed with water based dyes including nylon and polyester, the typically used materials for flag and banner printing. Temperatures in the range 100 - 180°C and dwell-times from 2 to 30 min can both be tuned for steam and hot air fixation. The Portafix Universal 3400 uses the proven technology of the earlier introduced 2500 and 1850 models but is designed from scratch with a modulair infeed and outfeed frame for more flexibility in cloth handling and a higher cloth contents for higher production speeds. The Autostart ensures production readiness on a pre-set time. The stand-by state can be used to keep the device, with minimum energy consumption, at the required production temperature. The new Autostop stops the unit automatically in a programmed manner after cloth-end detection, giving extra unattended fixation time outside working hours. The Portafix Universal is equipped with a build-in steam generator and has fixed connections for water supply, steam/air exhaust and condensate waste water. Huge forced Steam circulation and regeneration, combined with the PID controlled heating and cooling, guarantee that the selected temperature is achieved throughout the entire steam chamber with an accuracy of a few tenths of a degree, resulting in an all-over equal and reproducible colour in combination with a low fresh steam consumption. The maintenance-free chains drive all rolls, thus ensuring a stress-free fabric transport. With the introduction of the Portafix Universal 3400 the 1850 and 2500 series are also updated to the new design. All the fixation units are modular combinable with the successful Porta-Clean and Porta-Pad to form an in-line pre-coat, fixation, washing, finishing and drying line in each possible combination. This giving each customer the most flexible solution with a minimal investment.  |
Boxmeer (Netherlands), 23 March 2006  New rinsing- and padding unit for flag and banner printers SETeMa B.V. introduces at the FESPA Digital 2006 in Amsterdam (booth no. E100 / hall 9) their revolutionary versatile modular finishing line (Porta-Clean, Porta-Pad, Portafix Universal) for dyestuff fixation, washing, padding and steam-drying for the flag and banner market. The Porta-Clean is designed specifically for removing coatings and non-fixated dyestuffs in a high performance rinsing process. With the Porta-Pad, finishing chemicals can be applied to the textile e.g. a fabric protector. In combination with the high capacity model of the Portafix Universal as steam-dryer, a production capacity up to 135 (length) m/h can be achieved in a 2.50 m width. The compact build, in-line, system can also be used for color fixation only, simply by skipping the Porta-Clean washing and the Porta-Pad padding unit, using the Portafix Universal as stand-alone. The Portafix Universal is suitable for hot air and high temperature steam fixation of water based disperse dyes in direct print on polyester. The systems are developed to meet the requirements of the flag and banner market, with a minimum of wastewater and high-efficient energy re-use for a cost effective production.  |
