MACH 5
a tumbler/dryer or a dryer/tumbler? “simply” a mach5
2005 Salvadè launches is first continuous Tumbler/Dryer model Mach5, now a machine optimised in every single detail and ready for all challenges
The Tumbler in typically associated to woven fabrics. Mach5 showed immediately a great affinity for all knits because able to conjugate what was considered impossible:
- Enviable hand feel effects
- Fabric shrinkage and dimensional stability competitive with the famous conveyor belt tensionless dryers.
- Extreme drying efficiency, an expertise the company developed since 1967.
- Very effective fabric cleaning (ideal also for the preparation of the ready for digital printing fabrics).
- Definitely the lowest running costs in the market
Enormous versatility in a very reduced space
- Any fabric of any fibre, woven or knitted one
- Final polymerization of pigment printed fabrics
- Stand alone or inline installation
One machine, 4 effects:
How was it possible to conjugate these four aspects before March5 were incompatible one each other?
- Hand feel effects
- Powerful drying at low running costs
- Shrinkage and dimensional stability
- Fabric cleaning
That’s how!
- A special parallel flow blowing unit, carries the fabric at high speed making it concussing the fixed and the angular adjustable grids and the baskets surfaces
- The unique in the market 40.000 m3/h air flow rate is the only fabric carrier. The airflow speed can reach up to 150 km/h
- 6 beating points per section
- Patented airflow distribution system, through 4 blowers per section
- 6 process adjustable parameters:
- Air speed
- Chamber temperature
-
- Revolution numbers
- Fabric speed
- Grids gap
- Exhaust air amount
- Double panels shell, where the two panels are separated by 70 mm of rock wool and thermal break.
- Close loop working system
- Complete recirculation of the whole air volume, through a 4 m2 self-cleaning filter surface
- Exhauster of only 4 kW
