E-Pad

A MODULAR ROLL-TO-ROLL PADDING UNIT ESPECIALLY DEVELOPED FOR APPLYING PRE- AND AFTER TREATMENT CHEMICALS E.G. AN INK-JET PRE-TREATMENT OR A FABRIC PROTECTOR.

Textile is dipped in the E-Pad containing the impregnating liquid. By means of a vacuum slit the excess padding liquid is removed leaving an even and constant wet-pickup on the fabric. Due to the vacuum technique the evenness over the width is excellent. The level of vacuum is adjustable to accommodate for different fabrics. The wet-pickup is greatly dependent on the type of fabric but can be as low as 30% for synthetics and 60% for natural fibres. The extracted padding liquid is recycled to reduce chemical consumption.

A set of spiral rollers is standard in front and behind the vacuum slot. These rollers enable the processing of single jersey knits by uncurling the edges at the vacuum slot.
