Swiss textile machinery manufacturer Benninger is to show its legendary Küsters Dyepad at the forthcoming Techtextil in Frankfurt and says it has the perfect solution for technical fabric.

The company says that economic success in technical fabrics is determined above all by quality and reproducibility and up to date finishing, especially in nanotechnology finishing becomes more and more cost-intensive and at the same time process engineering has to be secured within stricter quality and production limits. It claims that the answer to the various demands in the application of auxiliary chemicals and dyes remains as it did 50 years ago, the Küsters’ swimming roll. The pioneering invention patented by Eduard Küsters in 1956, is being used widely today and has been manufactured exclusively by Benninger for the textile industry since 2007.

With the deflection controlled S-Roll the pressure is infinitely variable and still capable of maintaining a constant uniform nip pressure. Further developments by Benninger have put the main emphasis on the infrastructure, such as fabric guidance, dosing and recipe management, and thus adapt the processes to the requirements of modern textiles. Benninger says it is therefore well positioned to meet the demands and challenges in the field of sophisticated technical textiles.

Benninger is a worldwide leading partner to the textile industry for 150 years with a global network of subsidiaries and service stations. It develops and manufactures textile finishing and cord production machines as well as providing complete system solutions. Benninger says it is looking forward to receiving an international audience at a shared booth of Elmatex Ltd. in hall 3.0, booth D05.
