Witnessing CHTC FONGS progress in science and technology

The fashion trend is changing very rapidly with the concept of fast fashion and now consumers are accepting synthetic garment for both fashion and many functional aspects. Manufacturers are also changing their process and developing technologies to meet the consumers demand for synthetic garments area. With this succession， CHTC FONGS INTERNATIONAL COMPANY LIMITED brought DYECOWIN， the revolutionary hightemperature dyeing machine with cutting-edge patented technology for modern synthetic fabrics. Fongs and Pacific Associates Ltd. jointly organized an open house event on 21 April for newly launched DYECOWIN machine at Fakhruddin Textile Mills Ltd.， a sister concern of URMI group. A DYECOWIN was installed at Fakhruddin Textile Mills on 4 January， 2018 as the testimony of their advancement in modern technology.

The event was inaugurated by the welcome speech of Mr. Shahabuddin， Managing Director of Pacific Associates Ltd. The technical session described by Kenneth Chu， Fongs sales manager of Bangladesh and Philippine. Md. Hafizur Rahman， Head of the Strategic Business Unit （Textile）， Fakhruddin Textile Mills Ltd. received the crest from Fongs as the first valuable customer of DYECOWIN in Bangladesh. Many textile experts of different factories actively participated in the event. （Figure 2）

Win-win in both dyeing and economy

DYECOWIN has come with a big concept and that is DYE + ECO + WIN mean dyeing， economic and winwin. It is a major breakthrough in the long tube machine with lower liquor ratio （1：5）. The roller less design of the m/c overcome the tangling problem against traditional machines， avoiding fabric surface defects such as scratch marks and shining marks caused by unsynchronized motion between nozzles and lifting rollers. Again the rectangular fabric transportation tube allows the fabric to have free expansion and a smoother run along the channel thus reducing crease marks. （Figure 3）

Effective unloading design： The surface of the stainless steel roller is wrapped with polymer to increase lifting force and achieving an effective unloading operation.

High fabric speed： Fabric speed can reach up to 600m/min for light fabrics. This design also favors open width dyeing as no additional process is required. The patented stainless steel storage chamber is capable of increasing the loading capacity with the use of ‘CONJET nozzle.

This m/c is recommended for synthetic and synthetic blended fabrics. This m/c has three available models with different tubes and capacity.

Generally， during synthetic fabric dyeing some certain problems have arisen and Fongs brought DYECOWIN as the solution of these problems. Mr. Ruhul Quddus， General Manager of FTML， shared his four months experience of DYECOWIN. He said， “Before we faced mainly four problems during synthetic fabric dyeing and these are yarn pull out， crease mark， shade matching problem and some mechanical problems. By this machine， we have overcome the problems goodly.”

Philippines Saffron： Turn “impossibilities” into“possibilities”

As the largest printing and clothing manufacturer in the Philippines， Saffron owns 428 employees and 18-year dyeing and finishing and processing experience with its customers covering world-famous brands like Abercrombie， Ralph Lauren， Walmart， Jockey and Hanes. Saffron produces 40 - 45 tonnes of dyed cloths， 10，000 clothes and 10，000 yards of printing fabrics every day， but they are still expanding their production capacity and businesses and become dedicated to green production.

“Turning impossibilities into possibilities is our concept. We hope to become a valuable and capable leader in dyeing and finishing， printing and garment production”， said by Saffron President Tomas de los Santos.

TEC liquor ratio is approximate to airflow dyeing machine

“Before CHTC FONGS promoted TEC series dyeing machines in 2011 ITMA in Barcelona， our company had been using JUMBOFLOW dyeing machines and quite satisfied with their effects for many years. As the new series has many new functions compared with old JUMBOFLOW equipment， we have decided to order JUMBOTEC2-1T （300kg）， MIDITEC23T （750kg） and MINITEC2-2T （400kg） equip- ment in TEC series within a short time. Liquor ratio of TEC series has been significantly reduced and been quite approximate to that of airflow dyeing machine. This machine provides different loading capacities and can give more flexibility to reach a higher loading efficiency. In addition， CHTC FONGS has been providing important technologies for us and the assistance provided by their after-sales service team is convenient and reliable”， praised by Saffron President Tomas de los Santos.

Trial dyeing shows more advantages of TEC

Philippines customer Saffron Philippines Inc. （Saffron） has installed 8 FONGS TEC equipment within 8 months， and goods are delivered according to the subsequent orders in the next months.

“After the first TEC new machine was installed， we tested different cloth types. Test reports show that TEC series equipment has many advantages including lower liquor ratio， rapid salt injection， simple controller， effective and orderly rinsing procedures， energy conservation and emission reduction and more convenient operation. This is why we have additionally ordered TEC series dyeing machined and arranged for the 2nd， 3rd and 4th freight transportation within a short time”. expressed by Saffron Factory Director Mensen Chu.

“Global textile industry will not witness a significant growth within a short-term unless there is more positive information in American and European markets. Textiles have been transferred to emerging markets like India， Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in succession. The Philippines market is experiencing a gradual increase. In addition， water resources are not supplied in an infinite way， we need to undertake our own social responsibilities and promises， so we have selected CHTC FONGS TEC series dyeing machines to keep our promises for more environmentally friendly production without any doubt”， expressed by Saffron General Manager Kennan Lao.

Columbia Fabricato： Goller equipment saves production cost by a large margin

Columbia Fabricato Textile Inc.， located in Latin America， has an over 90-year history and mainly produces products like jeans， knits and nonwoven fabrics， etc.， and its annual output exceeds 120，000，000 meters.

Targeting at producing textile products of international top-level standards， the company has relatively higher requirements for innovative technologies and top quality of the equipment in order to satisfy requirements of different customers for product quality. For this reason， Fabricato gives priority to Goller as the supplier of its continuous product line.

As a top-level supplier within the industry， its production line should be continuously operated even during workshop upgrading and replacement period， so Fabricato has firstly installed Goller COLORA continuous dyeing equipment to cooperate with the usage of Monforts Thermosol dyeing devices. “Newly installed equipment is superior to the old machine in quality and performance”， stressed by the project leader Carlos Alberto Rueda， which is recognized by the whole team including the machine supervisor.

Fabricato decides to use this top-level equipment to replace its own machine so as to further reduce production cost， and upgrading and replacement of this project needs a long time （including upgrading and replacement of loom， weaving preparation and finishing equipment， etc.）. In an aspect of wet-processing equipment， Fabricato has purchased a set of Goller COMPLEXA continuous bleaching and a set of Goller reductive soaping COLORA continuous dyeing equipment. The costeffectiveness and innovative solutions brought by Goller equipment have left deep impressions on customers. “We have never imagined that a Goller Sintensa can be more excellent than our former double washing compartment”， said the company equipment supervisor. Besides inter-modular concentration difference brought by the countercurrent feature and the intermediate compressor， the water washing effect enhanced by the large-diameter guiding roller and mighty spray rinsing is also very prominent and extremely highly efficient. All in all， Goller equipment can save the production cost to a great degree.

As a member of CHTC FONGS， Goller is dedicated to continuously promoting development and reform of continuous wet-processing equipment and bringing the most competitive investment cost to customers with the top-level German technologies. Now CHTC FONGS， which is the largest wet-processing equipment manufacturer in the globe， owns a batch of high-quality technical service personnel and engineers who can provide stable and reliable technical support for customers. Besides， CHTC FONGS has established an independent service center in Latin America， ensuring that it can provide the most comprehensive technical support for customers in aspects of timeliness， language， etc.
