Germany-based Textilwerke Todtnau Bernauer KG, a manufacturer of technical textiles including BERATEX® fabric used in tire manufacturing, recently moved the heat-setting process in-house after many years of working with commission finishers. The company selected a heat-setting line from Germany-based Brückner Trockentechnik GmbH & Co. KG and now has final fabric finishing integrated into its own process.
Brückner reports the alternating arrangement of thermo zones in the line ensure temperature accuracy across the length and width of the dryer — a feature that was important to Textilwerke Todtnau to ensure the necessary properties in the finished product. Brückner worked with the customer to develop a line that met all its technical requirements.
