Fair report of Domotex Middle East in Dubai

We could greet very interested and high-quality visitors during the whole fair at our booth - we have received completely positive feedback and from it starting very interesting projects.

3rd World Carpet Congress

As we all know the business situation is quite difficult at the moment. But Power-heat-set does not save around their customers to inform and to speed up the newest developments.

That’s why Power-Heat-Set has been glad that the possibility was offered to take part at the 3rd World Carpet Congress. In the two days of the congress we had the great opportunity to talk with our customers about our topical developments and to attach contacts with manufacturers of all different production steps and to optimize the interfaces.

We would like to thank the colleges Unitex and Centexbel for the very good organization and the invitation!

Fair report of ITMA Asia Shanghai

Power-heat-Set was represented from 27th to the 31st of July with a booth at the ITMA Asia which took place the first time in Shanghai.

Power-Heat-Set displayed this time not only our existing heat setting system, the GVA equipment, but  presented to Chinese and the international professional audience the newest product: „-heat-set equipment“. The difference between overheated steam (GVA) and saturated steam (-Heat-Set) was explained to a lot of visitors by the competent Team. Now Power-Heat-Set offers both systems and therefore can serve every customer optimally for his needs!

The visitors could be convinced with the -Heat-Set equipment above all by the immense low energy consumption. Continuous research and development during the last years with regards to our existing equipment, the Power-Heat-Set GVA, resulted in big improvement not only in the run behaviour of the yarn, but also concerning the energy consumption. The new GVA 5000 beltversion cannot be compared any longer with the old “Suessen-equipment”.

Additionally to the ITMA exhibition, our Representative for China, Mr. Zhang Ze of CEO International (Holding) Inc. organized a symposium, which took place under a very pleasant ambience in the Hyatt Hotel Shanghai for more than 100 interested Chinese trade visitors.

Representatives of the Zimmer Austria Mechanical engineering (printing), Schönherr Stäubli Group (weaving) as well as Power-Heat-Set (heatsetting) gave interesting lectures on their field of business.

The ideal BCF process is shown in the following graphic (Please click to enlarge the graphic):

Three parts of the process have been explained during the symposion in Shanghai by the suppliers Power-Heat-Set, Schönherr Stäubli and Zimmer Austria.

We guide you to find the right heat set method for your targets!

For our customers it is of determining meaning to filter out the right heatsetting procedure for their requirements.
 

The following criteria must be exactly checked before making the decision: 

• Material (PA, PP, PES, Wool, etc.)
• Kind of Carpet (Wal to Wal, Rocks, Bath Matts, Woven, Tufted, Printed)
• Optical Look (Pin Point/Tip Definition, Bulk, Frise, Color)
• BCF or Staple Fibre, Cabling or Uptwisting
• Production Quantity
• Energie Consumption, Enviromental, Labor, Ergonomics
• Maintanance, Spare Parts as well as Tare and Ware Parts
   

With the help of these criteria Power-Heat-Set will lead their customers optimally by the complex subject of the heatsetting procedure and guarantee the best solution for every customer. Therefore it is ensured that our customers receive the right quality and the right quantity to optimized costs in the end product!    

Not against each other, but with each other and equally in rights. (Please click to enlarge the graphic)

In summary you have to see that every system brings advantages with itself and has therefore also authorization in the market. For heatsetting of the different yarn types (wool, PA 6, PA 6.6, PP, PES, Acrylic) the desired result is decisive for the choice of the procedure.

Also the different steam conditions have a huge meaning for the different heatsetting procedures:
Wet Steam
steam which contains water held in suspension mechanically; — called also misty steam > e.g. for Acryl Bulking
Saturated Steam
Steam at the temperature of the boiling point which corresponds to its pressure; — sometimes also applied to wet steam.
Superheated Steam (overheated stem)
Steam heated to a temperature higher than the boiling point corresponding to its pressure. It can not exist in contact with water, nor contain water, and resembles a perfect gas; — called also surcharged steam, anhydrous steam and steam gas and sometimes also applied to dry steam.
