Porta-Pad series

The Porta-Pad is 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 Porta-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 chemical pump is used to fill the padding liquid into the Porta-Pad. During
production the pump is used to circulate the padding liquid and distribute it
over the width. The remaining liquid can be pumped out of the system for
storage or waste handling.
The maintenance-free chains drive all rollers thus a tensionless fabric
