Three Italian textile producers saw significant energy savings and reduced gas consumption after installing Monforts' heat recovery system on their Montex 6500 stenters. Records show one company reduced gas use by 56 cubic meters per hour. A second company saved 20% on gas for an identical batch processed with heat recovery. The compact system recovers up to 60% of exhaust heat to preheat incoming air, saving 10-35% in energy and typically paying for itself in 12 months.
