We are exicted about our development of our new compact Heatsetting (CHS) and that we are able to offer our customers now both systems:

– The open systems with overheated or superheated steam, the so called GVA-machine!
AND/OR
– The closed system (under pressure) with saturated steam, the compact Heatsetting (CHS)!

Both systems are equal to each other and depending on what quality the carpet market wants to have our customers can now decide about what to buy from Power-Heat-Set.
The main differences (especially for PA) are:

GVA (overheated steam):
In the most recent five years Power-Heat-Set have placed more than eighty GVA machines in the world wide carpet industry. For all BCF, as well as, Staple Fibres like PA6, PA6.6, PP, PET, acryl, or wool blends. Besides others the latest development for the GVA 5000 are focused on three important areas:

• Energy conservation improvements are centered on optimizing the window configuration and special passges or recycle exhaust to utilize the heat in the exhaust before it leaves the machine. Energy savings are increasingly valuable in justifiying expenditure for new machines.
• The combination of the Twin Roll Box (TRB) and coiler bring a new level of flexibility to the GVA 5000. Quick changeover from one system to the other and the ability to process frieze and straight-set yarns on the same machine at the same time are definite advantages. The unique design of the Twin Roll Box allows the production of a wide spectrum of textures  through simple , repeatable touch screens adjustments.
• New yarn path improvements allow efficent processing of as many as eight ends per channel with excellent separation at the winder and smooth process flow.

Compact heatsetting, the completely NEW heat setting system with saturated steam:

• Materials: PA6, PA6.6, PP, acrylic, PET, wool
• Number of ends: 24
• Throughput up to 250 kg/h (550#h)
• Yarn input speed: up to 700m/min
• Saturated steam process up to 140° C
• Integrated yarn cooling
• Vertical material throughput with minimal points of contact (yarn contact points)
• Controlled yarn take-up and take-off
• Possiblility of varying the bulk
• Controlled yarn tension during winding up
• Constant winding up speed
• Quickstop after yarn break
• No heating, no water consumption
• No need for yarn storage (accumulator)
• Steam consumption between 30 and 40 kg/h (66 and 88 #/h)
• Power consumption up to 7 kWh
• Air consumption up to 15 co/h (9 cu. ft/min.)
• Required space (creel, compact heatsetting, winding machine), a total of: 14 x 5 m (46 x 16 ft)

For the new compact Heatsetting (CHS) we even received recently the innovation award at the FloorTek in Dalton!
