Porta-Wash series

The Porta-Wash is a modular roll-to-roll washing system consisting of four
selectable washing modules to be combined into a washing line for various
cloth- and fibre types.
In the Porta-Wash series the separate washing modules use recycled and
fresh soft water. Spraying nozzles, which are pressurised by circulation
pumps, supply the mechanical energy to increase the washing effect.
To obtain a high energy efficiency each Porta-Wash module is equipped with
a counter-flow heat exchanger between cold fresh and hot waste water, air
recirculation at the vacuum system and thermally isolated walls.
The newly developed vacuum system in each module is ideal for the removal
of polluted water containing the excess of dyestuff and coatings from the
cloth and it largely prevents polluted water being dragged by the cloth into
the next bath. To further enhance the washing effect the cloth is sprayed
with clean soft water prior to the vacuum slit.
The vacuum system can achieve moisture contents as low as 30% for
synthetics and 60% for natural fibres.
