Modern Concepts for Pad-Steam Bleaching

Continuous bleaching systems for efficient fabric preparation.

SCOUT (OPEN-WIDTH)

The first step to continuous finishing is made at SCOUT pad-steam bleaching ranges, which are suitable for scouring any cellulosic fabric, producing a constant and homogeneous base product for later dyeing or printing.

Pad-steam bleaching achieves a high degree of white with less production costs compared to the traditional discontinuous over-flow technology, amongst many other advantages such as:

  • High reproducibility
  • Product homogeneity (no tailing)
  • Low fiber loss (no enzymatic bio-polishing)
  • Shiny and improved fabric surface (no pilling)
  • Low water, steam and power consumption

SCOUT bleaching ranges are designed in modules and can be specially setup to meet requirements of any dye house or printer from 5 t/day to 25 t/day.

OBA COMPARTMENT (OPEN-WIDTH AND TUBULAR)

The optical brightener compartment (OBA) can be added at the end of any SCOUT or GALAXY pad-steam bleaching range in order to apply high or medium affinity optical brighteners without contaminating the main (bleaching) machine.
