This document describes finishing lines and equipment for woven and knitted fabrics including drying, heat-setting, curing, sanforizing, and compacting. It discusses the benefits of compact design, adjustable guides, explosion-proof design, high tech drive systems, consistent shrinkage control, extended rubber belt life, minimized vibrations, and bearing protection. Additional benefits outlined include highest drying performance from efficient air circulation, straightening results, robust chains and carriers, and reproducible finishing. Characteristics described include integrated rotary screen printing, fabric centering, short processing paths, tension controlled transport, selective heat-setting, and flexible foam coating. The document promotes unsurpassed shrinking values for woven and knitted fabrics, gentle compacting,

2. Complete finishing lines for woven and
knitted fabric:
Drying
Heat-setting
Curing
Sanforizing
Compacting
Coating

4. Benefits:
Very compact design
Available working widths:1600 mm to
3400 mm
Stable execution
Simple operation
Appropriate for the retrofit of existing lines
Optimum application since the squeezee can
be adjusted horizontally, vertically and
angularly and the rear guide roller can be fixed
in five positions.
Explosion-proof design

6. Benefits:
High tech drive system with load cell control gives better
shrinkage
Automatic shrinkage control - Consistent shrinkage
Improved geometrical design of the rubber belt unit -
Higher Production output
Extended life span of the rubber belt due to larger
diameter ofcompression and tensioning rollers and an
optimized cooling system
Rubber belt resurfacing/grinding unit fully integrated into
the machine (no mounting of external unit necessary) –
grinding process controlled via PLC to avoid operation
errors
Very solid and long lasting machine design with minimized
vibrations to ensure a smooth fabric run
All bearings are located outside the wet to avoid corrosion

8. Benefits:
Highest drying performance and flexible for all types of fabrics due
to the well-engineered and patented SPLIT-FLOW® air circulation
system
Up to 35% energy saving thanks to economical heat recovery and
energy saving concepts
Absolutely homogeneous distribution of air flow and temperature
due to the alternating air flow in the thermo zones (every 1.5 m)
Optimum straightening results due to an innovative, integrated
straightener with shortest possible fabric path to the pin-on point
Extremely robust and low-maintenance chains, chain rails as well
as pin bar carriers and clips
Exactly reproducible finishing

10. Characteristics:
Integration of a rotary printing screen in the entry zone of
the stenter
Centering of the fabric in front of the introduction to the
coating unit
Extremely short fabric path between the coating unit and
the pin-on point at the stenter
Tension-controlled fabric transport of the elastic fabric
through the complete process
Selective width and length heat-setting of the fabric with a
stenter with optionally available fabric support belt
Flexible foam processor by Stork Prints, which can be
used also for paste processing

12. Benefits:
Unsurpassed high shrinking values
Used for woven as well as knitted fabric
Gentle and uniform compacting of high-
quality fabrics made of cotton and its
blends
Extremely smooth and voluminous touch
Light, silky shining effect on the fabric
surface
Highest production speed with uniform
fabric quality

13. Direct coating on textiles
and foils
Reverse coating on
release paper
Impregnations and dip
coating
Dry and wet lamination of
membranes and textile
webs or foils

14. Save hard cash with BRÜCKNER energy saving systems
Bruckner’s heat recovery and exhaust air cleaning lines
allow considerable energy savings (35%)
Energy saving system:- Heat recovery systems (ECO-
HEAT) and exhaust air cleaning systems (ECO-AIR).
