SETeMas E-Wash gives 4-times higher output

SETeMas has launched the newly developed E-Wash, a professional open width washing machine, at FESPA 2014 in Munich last month. Looking at customers requirements SETeMa has seen a growing market demand for faster washing equipment consistent with the increasing speed of the digital textile printers. The new developed E-Wash achieves almost a four times higher output and washes more efficient than the already very economical Porta-Wash.

Since customers not only require a higher washing speed, but also demand a fastness wash up to 90¦C, the E-Wash is especially developed on effectiveness in the washing process and minor heat loss. All our experiences of the last 5 years with our Porta-Wash range are put into this development.

The new 3-section E-Wash is equipped with an update of SETeMas special features like:

• a 50% increased efficiency of the vacuum extraction from one section to the next and before leaving the washing machine
• a counter-flow heat exchanger for the cold incoming and hot outgoing water
• an optimised airflow recirculation of the vacuum system to regain heat energy a better thermal insulation of walls and hoods

Combined with an optimised building process the E-Wash is a particularly compact and efficient washer with all components integrated. As a result: the E-Wash will be, related to the production capacity, 30% cheaper as a comparable Porta-Wash line (with several modules); installation costs decreased with 30%; a smaller footprint due to the compact design. With two separate driven sections and a wide scale of options like scroll or double scroll rollers, adjustable bow bars, high impact / low flow / high flow spray pipes, several winding and unwinding systems, the E-Wash is suitable for a wide variety of cloth types. Besides this the E-Wash can also be integrated and synchronised with a third party dryer or stenter.

The E-Wash continues the modular setup of the SETeMa machines in which two or more E-Wash modules can be combined for an even higher performance, but also a combination with Porta-Wash and Porta-Pad modules is possible. The philosophy is that customers should be able to define or modify their line-up to fit their needs and budget.
