Use of industrial pumps, blowers, valves and heat exchangers in the textile industry
Textile sector; It covers a very wide production chain from yarn production to weaving and knitting, from dyeing-finches to apparel stages. The chemical durability, energy efficiency, longevity and precise control capability of the equipment used in these processes should be at the forefront.
Kenfle Industry contributes to the uninterrupted, safe and high-quality operation of production lines by offering special pumps, blowers, valves and heat exchanges solutions to the textile industry.
Major processes in the textile industry
1. Painting and finishing lines
– Dyeing and chemical finishing of cotton, polyester, viscose and blended yarn/fabrics.
Dosing pumps and dyestuffs and auxiliary chemicals are fed in a controlled manner.
Solvent and sensitive chemicals are transported sealed with magnetic coupling pumps.
Large volume dyed solutions are recirculated with centrifugal pumps.
2. Washing and rinsing processes
– Washing of fabrics and threads after dyeing.
Air diaphragm pumps are preferred because of their chemical resistance.
Hose pumps are used in the transfer of foamed and particle-containing liquids.
3. Steam and Hot Water Systems
– Temperature control in dryers, calenders and ramoz.
Plate heat exchangers are common for energy efficiency.
Tubular heat exchangers are used in high pressure steam lines.
4. Air conditioning and air control
– Humidity and temperature balance in textile production areas is the key to quality.
Centrifugal blowers provide air circulation in air handling units.
Roots blowers take part in vacuum systems and waste air evacuation.
High pressure blowers are used in dryers and special blowing applications.
5. Wastewater and Environmental Management
– Intense amounts of colored and chemical wastewater are formed in dyehouses.
Chemical resistant dosing pumps are used in treatment plants.
Air diaphragm pumps take part in mud transfer.
PVDF and stainless valves provide safe flow control.
Air diaphragm pump use in textile paint
The safe transport of dyestuffs, acids, bases and auxiliary chemicals to the production lines in textile dyehouses is of critical importance.
Air diaphragm pumps are the most preferred type of pump at this point, thanks to their chemical resistance and sealed structure.
– Aggressive chemicals: safe transfer of acid and base solutions.
– Solvents: Transport of solvents used in paint mixtures in ATEX safe environment.
– Viscose paints: transfer of high viscosity pigments and pastes.
– Low cutting power: Provides low cutting effect to prevent damage to color particles on fabric or yarn.
Advantages:
– Explosive ambient safety (ATEX).
– Resistance to dry work.
– Chemically compatible body options (PP, PVDF, PTFE, stainless steel).
– Easy maintenance and long life.
Pumps used in textile industry
– Dosing pumps: in the dyestuff and chemical feeding.
– Centrifugal pumps: in the recirculation of large volumes of water and solution.
– Magnetic coupling pumps: in precision chemical transfer.
– Hose pumps: in the transfer of foamed and particulate liquids.
– Air diaphragm pumps: in washing and paint processes requiring chemical resistance.
Blower Systems
Blowers in the textile industry play a critical role in the many processes used by machinists:
– Centrifugal blowers: In vacuum applications in textile machines.
Industrial Valves
– Globe control valves: for corrosive liquids in paint and chemical lines.
– Stainless steel valves: in steam and hot water lines.
– Butterfly valves: for quick control in large diameter water circuits.
– Actuator Valves: For precise control in automated dyeing machines.
heat exchangers
– Plate exchangers: for temperature control in painting and washing processes.
– Tube heat exchangers: in steam and high pressure lines.
– Stainless steel and titanium exchangers: at points where chemical resistance is required.
