Machine description
4.1.1 Feeding frame
Feeding frame with fabric guiding, centering and spreading device. The fabric is guided
through a spreading and centering device suitable for open width knits, consisting of
• two spreading rollers driven by a gear box motor
• a centering device using non-contact optical scanning of the knitted fabric in open width.
4.1.2 Double squeezing, hydro-extrating and impregnating pad
One of the pads is a high performance hydro-extractor while the other is used for chemical
impregnation.
Each pad consists of a strong welded frame, two squeezing rollers and an impregnating
trough of 65 liters content with level control.
One driven spreading roller is assembled in front of the trough. Two other spreading rollers
ensure optimal distension of the selvedges before the fabric enters the squeezing section.
The impregnating trough can be lowered for easy cleaning and a displacer is installed to
minimize the liquor content. The squeezing/impregnating compartments are entirely made
of stainless steel.
Each squeezing unit consists of an uncurling device and two 292 mm in diameter rollers
with special rubber covering. One of these is mounted rigidly in the machine frame and
born in strong roller bearings. The other is movable and can be swiveled into the working
position by means of pneumatic cylinders.
The units, especially for knitted fabric in open width, are designed in such a way that the
linear pressure of the squeezing rollers remains constant over the entire width.
An idle roller equipped with load cell is assembled at the exit of the double pad in order to
synchronize the drives with those of the dryer.
Pneumatic piping, service unit and operating devices are comprised in the scope of deliv-
ery.
4.1.3 Chemical tank
Chemical tank with stirrer and pneumatic valve for squeezing, hydro-extracting and im-
pregnating pad
4.1.4 Operating platform
An operating platform is located between the pad and the pin frame taking-up structure.
The platform is swivelled during machine start-up in order to direct the fabric onto the de-
flecting rollers mounted in a frame positioned below the platform.
4.1.5 Entry frame to pin frame
It supports both a spreading and a feeding roller. The latter is equipped with its own drive
in order to guarantee a tensionless fabric transport to the pinning device.
46 04 / 2017
Machine description
4.1.6 Pin levelling frame
It consists of a 5.345 m long stenter frame equipped with both a low maintenance pin
chain and a vertical chain return.
The fabric, taken up by the entry frame rollers, is transported over the uncurler to the pin-
ning device. The former is furnished with an optical selvedge guide. While the pinning op-
eration can be run with overfeeding, a pair of round-brushes presses the fabric against
the needle bed to avoid the material being thrown off the needle board. Should the fabric
be unsuitably pinned, then the machine is stopped by way of the pinning control.
The front end of the pin frame is composed of angle adjustable feeding cheeks, 4.50 m in
length, and includes a front end chain return, a tensioning device and a drip feed lubricator
on each machine side.
A center support prevents fabric sagging between chains. A width adjustable spindle, lo-
cated at the rear end of the frame, allow the fabric final width to be set up at the desired
value.
At the rear end, 0.845 m in length, is also located the back end chain return with a pin-off
device on each side. The latter releases the fabric from the pins.
The pin frame is mounted on a robust, torsion free welded machine frame made of struc-
tural steel.
The pin frame is equipped with its own drive which is synchronized with the dryer's drives.
4.1.7 Belt entry for tubular knits
The entry consists of a robust welded frame, which supports the feeding rollers and the
transport belt. The tubular knits are laid on the belt which transports the fabric to the feed-
ing unit of the dryer.
4.1.8 Feeding unit
The feeding facility is in fact the installation’s pre-shrinking zone. The overfeed can step-
less be adjusted to the fabric speed in the range 0 to 50% by means of a push button.
The well designed feeding unit is made of welded structural steel and all the rollers are
driven on ball-bearings. Both the automatic conveyor belt aligning units and the tension-
ing device are integrated in the feed frame, thus ensuring that the conveyor belts are al-
ways under the same tension. The feed frame is bolted onto the 1st drying chamber
frame.
After feeding onto the apron, the fabric is led into the upper drying level.
04 / 2017 47
Machine description
4.1.9 Drying section 1 -
From the feeding unit the fabric is conveyed into drying section 1 in the dryer’s upper level.
This section is designed as a tensionless nozzle type float dryer. The gap between the up-
per and lower nozzle row is stepless adjustable in height up to a maximum of 90 mm. The
gap adjustment is automatically activated by means of selection on touch screen of San-
tavision. To this end the entire upper nozzle row is designed to move vertically and its ad-
justment mechanism is totally integrated in the machine. In this way an optimum drying
capacity can be attained when taking into account the different qualities of fabrics to be
treated.
The nozzle lateral lay-out and the large quantity of air allows the fabric to be shifted back
and forth in a tumbler motion that greatly assists the actual shrinking process. Each cham-
ber is provided with its own circulating air turbine, driven by an inverter, and especially de-
signed for this type of dryer and operates with optimum efficiency.
The heating system is housed in the lower part of the chamber. The air nozzles can also
be readily removed and cleaned.
All chambers are equipped with an automatic lint filter system. A special conveyor belt op-
erates as a sieve transporting the fluff outside the dryer.The fluff is sucked off and collected
in a big bag. The collecting system works as a cyclone separator.
The chambers are made of strong and robust welded structural steel and their outside
walls are built of special insulation plates 100 mm thick. On the operating side, the latter
are shaped as doors and provide easy access to the nozzles.
4.1.10 Drying section 2 - Middle level
The fabric coming from the upper level is automatically led into drying section 2, where it
is guided to the next section between conveyor belts.
This section is equipped with a full set of non adjustable nozzles.
4.1.11 Drying section 3 - Lower level
The fabric is then guided onto the conveyor belt of the lower level. It integrates the steam-
ing and vibrating section and its design is identical to that of the upper level, except for the
nozzles which are not adjustable.
4.1.12 Thermal oil heating system
In this heating system the thermic energy is conveyed by heated thermal oil.
While circulating through the system, the thermal oil gives part of its energy to the cham-
bers: as a consequence, while the inlet temperature reaches 250 °C, the outlet tempera-
ture will be around 230 °C.
Inlet and outlet pipings should be properly insulated to avoid thermic dispersion and waste
of energy. These pipes are not part of the supply.
4.1.13 Exit unit with plaiter
The exit unit which follows the last drying chamber is made of welded structural steel and
fully integrates both the plaiter and the needed components for the conveyor belts. While
cooling down, the fabric is folded carefully and tension-free onto the already positioned
trolley by means of the plaiter

Machine description
4.1.19 Smart save button
The SMART SAVE BUTTON is pressed by the operator whenever the dryer doesn’t run
with fabric for a longer period of time.
It is placed below the Santavision panel.
The main reason for an empty running dryer is the gap in the organization of fabric lots.
The fabric does not arrive on time from the wet processing department and the dryer runs
idle, thus blowing away huge amounts of energy in the meantime.
Just with a single push of the button the dryer immediately reduces the energy consump-
tion to a minimal level by closing heating valves and reducing the electrical consump-
tion.The settings for each component involved can be programmed at the Santavision
touch screen.
The normal running parameters of the dryer are restored automatically by pressing the
button again.
4.1.20 Energy saving device
A sensor measures the actual circulating air humidity. The pre-set residual moisture con-
tents of the circulating air are compared by means of a logic unit that controls the exhaust
air ventilator frequency converter, a method which permits to operate the dryer economi-
cally and at its optimum.
The advantages of this system are:
• no service costs
• no cleaning costs
• total energy consumption reduction by approx. 20%
• additional ventilators are unnecessary.
4.1.21 Fabric residual moisture control
An infrared temperature/moisture control system may be furnished for optimal economical

speed regulation and independent control of fabric temperature/residual moisture at the
machine outlet.
A laterally moving infrared temperature indicator continuously measures the temperature
of the tensionless fabric exiting the dryer.
The data collected by the measuring head is compared with that of the controller set point,
thus automatically keeping the throughput speed in accordance with the pre-set values.
With this controlling and regulating system, significant energy saving, quality improve-
ment and marked throughput increase are achieved.

Principles of the process
5 Principles of the process
5.1 Introduction
As is clearly shown by comparison in the practice, reproducible quality standards that sur-
pass all the hitherto known results attained with the installations employed to date for sim-
ilar finishing task, are realized for the first time ever with the newly developed shrinkage
dryer Santashrink.
The knitted fabrics dried, shrunk and relaxed completely without tension, whether in tubu-
lar or open-width, are characterized in particular by the following:
Excellent residual shrinkage values after repeated domestic washing and drying on
clothes line, or even in the tumbler.
Pleasant, lofty and soft fabric handle with increased market value of the individual market
qualities, both in piece goods and finished garments.
Market improvement and development of the fabric volume per surface unit, whereby the
application of yarn or finished goods is reduced depending on the selected finishing limits.
Over-average shape stability of ready-made garments both in measurement and structure
by means of uniform relaxing fabric shrinkage.
Silk-like flowing fabric drape with excellent wear and tear properties for the most varied
types of fabric.
Increased value by appearance and the attainment of optimum finishing quality with a
comparatively exceptional quality standard.
Results, which can be achieved in every finishing plant for fabrics with the most stringent
quality requirements, through the intensive development of the Santashrink process in
practice, and jointly with finishing experts and experienced machine technologists.
The future-orientated technical and economical design of the Santashrink offers a spec-
trum of operational advantages for applications, which are ultimately reflected in the attain-
able finishing results. Easy operation of the Santashrink reveals quality standards that
have only been obtained so far through partly complicated production sequences an pro-
cesses.

5.2 Features
Santashrink is a suspension jet nozzle dryer with extensive evaporative power and high
production capacity, as well as a very impressive shrinkage effect and, simultaneously,
with a highly intensive relaxing process in a single machine. It thus constitutes a compre-
hensive treatment system, the most important technical features of which are:
Extensive drying capacity and, at the same time, a small space requirement through in-
tensive hot-air circulation with a high air flow rate of 18 m3/sec and more, depending on
the machine layout.
Extremely uniform temperature distribution in the drying zone thanks to effective stream-
lining an the arrangement of the hot-air nozzles. Economical energy housekeeping by mi-
croprocessor controlled air humidity outlet and regulated fresh-air inlet, as well as lowest
possible radiation of heat due to highly effective insulation of the dryer floor with walls up
100 mm thick, lined with corrosion-resistant sheet steel and filled with special insulating
material.
Finely adjustable drive system for individual functional ranges, for instance fabric feed
with forward slip, independently controlled through the application of ultra modern, but
maintenance-free and reliable drive technique.
Alternating arrangement of the hot-air nozzles for undulated fabric movement between
the net-shaped conveyor belts, which do not interfere with the air flow rate, and thus the
provision of a proper tumbler motion to assist the shrinkage and relaxation process.
Highly intensive steam and vibration field to support and develop the advantageous resid-
ual shrinkage and fabric volume attainable in the finished goods.
Tensionless outlet and constructive measures to avoid static electricity with delicate qual-
ities.
Clearly defined machine layout and arrangement of the individual functional elements.
Furthermore, a strong and robust design with external accessibility to all moving compo-
nents set in motion when the machine is in operation.
Easy and fatigue-proof operation of the machine, virtually service and maintenance-free,
and where necessary only at absolutely minimum intervals to ensure the shortest possible
machine downtimes; special precautionary measures for cleaning and check-ups on all
sides by means of easy-to-open and well-insulated doors.

5.3 Santashrink treatment system

The Santashrink treatment system has been develop for the drying, shrinking and relaxing
of tubular and open-width knitted fabrics. However, the applications considered so far
show quite distinctively that woven fabrics and non-wovens, in short all textiles for which
there is a demand for relaxation, drying and shrinking, or where special quality parameters
are required, can be treated advantageously in the Santashrink. These fabrics may be of
natural fibers such as cotton, wool and bast fibers, or blends with synthetic or pure man-
made fibers.
The Santashrink is designed for the individual requirements of the respective finishing
plant. thanks to its modular design, it can be supplemented easily with simple means at
any time.
Santashrink variants, the solution for individual requirements of a technical and technolog-
ical nature, as well as for the flexible adaptation to local production conditions.
54 04 / 2017
5.4 Santashrink Standard, the basic machine

Santashrink Standard, the basic version for the shrinkage, tensionless drying and relax-
ation of tubular or open-width knitted fabrics. The fabric guidance, whether single, double
or multiple track, is effected at one treatment level.
The feeding end is locate on one side and the delivery end on the opposite side of the
treatment zone. Depending on the required drying capacity and the shrinkability of the
fabric to be treated, the machine consists of two or more treatment chambers, as well as
a steam and vibration chamber.
The machine is designated for working widths of 60 to 420 cm in stages of 20 cm, which
facilitates a very flexible adaptation to the existing local capacity and, at the same time, a
minimum consumption of energy.
During the operation of the machine, the fabric to be treated is led from a transport frame
over pick-up roller in the fabric overfeed device. Due to the adjustable peripheral speed
of the feeding roller and the special nose of the guidance apron, the fabric to be treated
is laid in uniform waves on the lower transportation belt. The second upper transportation
belt, which forms an adjustable intermediate space with the lower belt, intersects directly
before the inlet to the first treatment chamber of the machine. An infinitely variable drive
powers the transportation belts synchronously which, in turn, convey the fabric through
the treatment zone.
Pipe-jet nozzles with large volumes of air, arranged on both sides of the transportation
belts in the first part of the treatment zone, enable the water to be heated very quickly to
the evaporation point. Since these jets are positioned in an offset manner to their coun-
terparts on the opposite side,, it results in a pulsating movement of the fabric in both the
length and width and thus promotes the width shrinkage.
Further slot-jet nozzles with a high air velocity follow for the shrinkage of the fabric. They
are also arranged in an offset manner to their counterpart on the opposite side and lead
to intensive movement of the fabric, i.e. an actual tumbling of the fabric. The resultant high
kinetic energy relaxes the knitwear completely.
Prior to the last treatment chamber, the fabric passes through a steam and vibration sec-
tion, which helps to enhance the fabric volume and soft fleecy handle and, depending on
the fabric quality, also supports the shrinkage process.
On leaving the final treatment chamber, the fabric is routed to an inclined slatted belt so
that it can cool down before it is folded into a transport wagon by means of a folder.
As a classical shrinkage and relaxation dryer, the Santashrink Standard is part and parcel
of the basic equipment outfit for the treatment of knitwear, for which quality, reliability and
high efficiency are required.

Transportation
6.11 Lifting instruction (SpanSet)
Before the lifting process can started, the weight, the centre of
gravity of the load and the distances must be determined
between the suspension point and the crane hook
Determine the working load limit of the sling with the help of the
mode of assembly and angle of inclination with observance
resultant reductions. Never exceed the angle of inclination of
60 ° and the given working load limit.
With asymmetrical loads and in the case of doubt is valid: If 2

ropes used must 1 rope and if 3 or 4 ropes used must be 2
ropes able to carry the gross load weight.
The suspension points must be able to lift up the strength initi-

ated about the angles of inclination. Only used CE-certificated
and correctly dimensioned suspension points.
Caution: If the crane hook is too small, the slings can break.
Webbing sling with loops is valid: crane hook width x 4 = loop
length. Oval rings must be able to move in the crane hook
freely.
Use only correctly marked and intact webbing slings. The

slings must be checked before every assignment.
Never pull the suspension points over the unprotected sharp

edges. With a sharp edge means when the edge radius "r" is
immediately or smaller than the thickness "d" of the slings.
Sharp edges at the loads can cut the slings.Used edge schoo-
ners or cable hoses to protect the webbing slings
Interloop never webbing slings and round loops each other!

This reduces the load-carrying capacity extremely. For the
interloops must be uses shackle or joker hooks from SpanSet
For applications by extreme temperatures and by the chemical
area the fatigue life of the webbing slings and chains must be
clarified with the manufacturer in matters of temperature, the
chemical, concentration and the resistance.
Unequivocal signal to the crane operator by one single person.
Make sure that nobody ever stands under a suspended load.
According to EKAS directives all webbing slings and chains
must be annually inspected by means of a expert and docu-
mented

Operating controls
8 Operating controls
The following chapters describe all operating or displaying controls at the machine.
8.1 Main switch

This illustration shows the main switch at the control cabinet. All power supply are fed
through this switch. If this switch is in position OFF (as shown in the picture), the whole
machine is without power. In order to run the machine, this switch must be turned on.
If works have to be done at the machine, that are not intended during normal operating
mode, this switch must be turned OFF.
Additionally this switch must be secured with a padlock, so that nobody can switch on the
machine from mistakes.
For all special operating modes this switch must be turned off and secured (if applicable).
The main switch should be turned off if the machine is not used for more than 4 hours.
This reduces the power consumption and increases the life span of many electrical com-
ponents.
8.1.1 Secure main switch against restarting
The main switch can be secured by means of a padlock.

8.7.5 Start Stop heating
This button switches the heater of the machine ON or OFF. A

particular course, which leads at the end to the ignition of the
burners, is started when switching on the heater. So that the
heater can actually start, the corresponding preselections must
have been made before. These are:
• Preselection of the circulating air fans
• Preselection of the exhaust air fans
• Preselection of the gas burners
After pressing of this button the heating chambers first get
flushed with fresh air in order to prevent a possible gas explo-
sion. The ignition takes place only after thorough flushing.
8.7.6 Feeding stenter frame manual / auto
The width of the stenter at the infeed section can be controlled

in two different ways:
• The edge detection guides the infeed section of stenter frame
along the edge of the fabric
• The infeed section of the stenter frame gets positioned by
hand.
While this switch is set to "Automatic" the edge detection is

activated. The regulation takes place fully automatically.
When the switch is set to "Manual" the edge detection gets

deactivated. Instead the two rotary switches get activated and
can be used to move and position the infeed section of the
stenter frame.
8.7.7 Manual mode left, outside / inside
This rotary knob can be used to position the left hand part of
the stenter frame. The edge guiding must be disabled (set to
manual mode).

there is a fault which has been recognized by the control, a
fault message is always outputted on the TP. An acoustic warn-
ing is also given. This button is used to acknowledge the mes-
sage, meaning that the machine operator has received the
warning message. The necessary actions must then be taken
to make the machine ready to operate again.
Different fault levels are programmed into this machine.
Depending on the level, automatically specified actions are ini-
tiated by the control, such as switching the machine off, switch-
ing the burners off, etc.
8.7.11 Smart Save (energy save button)
As soon as this button was pressed, the temperature, the

speed of web track and the fans of circulation -and exhaust air
are throttled. This lighting in this button remains that the energy
save operation is activ. The Set-values can be regulated by the
Santasvision.
8.7.12 Emergency stop impact switch
The emergency stop impact switch is used to switch the

machine immediately in an emergency into a safe state.
The emergency stop impact switch should only be used
in an emergency, and not simply to stop the machine.
Once the emergency situation has ceased to exist, the
emergency stop impact switch must first be released
again by turning the knob.

8.9 Pleva humidity measuring device FS 91 B

The shown unit contains the controller of the humidity measuring device and is located in-
side the control cabinet. The FS91 measures the humidity (water vapor) and the amount
of pollution vapor in the process air. In pure drying processes where no pollution vapors
arise, the absolute humidity is measured directly. The FS91 allows the quality of the treat-
ed products, the energy used and the environmental damage to be optimized in thermal
processes. The amount of outgoing air can be optimally adjusted with the measured value
of the FS91. This occurs either by manually adjusting or automatically controlling exhaust
ventilator
speeds or exhaust air valve settings. Due to different process sequences, no generally val-
id, optimum humidity value can be stated. A maximum humidity value (= minimum exhaust
air quantity) can be determined through tests. The production speed should not be influ-
enced in this case.

Operation
9.5 Starting the machine

After all the safety-relevant components of the machine have been checked, it can be
started. The next sections describe the starting sequence. The aim of starting up is to
make the machine ready to operate, which means that the drying chambers will have
reached operating temperature.
9.5.1 Main switch ON
Operate the main switch on the electrical cabinet.
9.5.2 Press fault receipt
After switching on of the main switch, only the control circuit are first provided with power.
Therefore, the button "Fault receipt" must get pressed now in order to start up the power
supply for the power circuit. The illuminated button will be flashing during the following 20
seconds. During this period, the other components become started up and supplied with
power. Once the 20 seconds are past, the machine is ready for the next steps.
9.5.3 Preselection of circulating air fans
The circulating air fans, which are used for the manufacture of the current product, must
be preselected on the Santavision.
9.5.4 Preselection of exhaust fans
The exhaust fans, which are used for the manufacture of the current product, must be pre-
selected on the Santavision.
80 04 / 2017
Operation
9.5.5 Switch ON the heaters
Switch on the heaters and select the required temperature.
9.5.6 Make adjustments
Once the temperature is reached, the feed capacity of the circulating- and exhaust air
must be adjusted to the material to be processed.
9.5.7 Space between nozzles
The nozzles spacing must be adjusted exactly to the material to be processed.This must
be set according to the desired thickness, weight, density and compactness.These pa-
rameters should not be changed for every article.
Following spacings can be chosen as standard settings:
Weight per m3 200 g 400 g 600 g

Chamber 1 35 mm 45 mm 55 mm
9.5.8 Press start regulating drives
When this button gets pressed, all preselected components get turned on.
04 / 2017 81
Operation
9.6 Running the machine

Once the machine is at operating temperature, it can be run with material. Please note the
following sections for this purpose.
9.6.1 Dues for the operator
During production the operator should watch the following items

• Fabric tension between the different machine part
• Spreading effect of the spreading devices
• When the spreading of the fabric is inadequate, one should readjust the wrap angle of
the spreader rolls
• Proper edge decurling of the fabric
• When the decurling is insufficient, readjust the distance between the plates of the de-
curling units
• Fabric tension at the outlet
The PLC in the cabinet oversees and regulates the selected temperature. The tempera-
ture regulation of the hot air, which streams out through the drying nozzles, can be adjust-
ed stepless.
According to preselected operating mode, "Automatic speed controlled" or "Automatic
temperature controlled", the temperature remains constant, or is regulated. Normally the
operating mode "Automatic speed controlled", is selected since this regulation is much
more efficient. In this operating mode, the speed of the fabric track is varied to get the right
material temperature on the outflow side of the machine. When the operating mode "Au-
tomatic temperature controlled" was chosen, the speed of the fabric track remains con-
stant, but the temperature in the drying chambers is being regulated, so that the material
has the right temperature at the outflow side.
9.6.3 Belt speed
The belt speed must be selected according to material to be processed. It is related to the
temperature, thermo fixing level and thermo fixing depth parameters.
9.6.4 Adjustment of web speed
Via the controller the speed of the fabric track can now be adjusted.
9.6.5 Speed of the transportation belt
The speed of the transportation belt should be adjusted to its optimum value. This value
gets derived from the distance between the nozzles and the kind of material to be dried.
When the space between the upper and lower nozzles gets changed, the speed of the
transportation belt also needs adjustment.
9.6.6 Potentiometer at the exit side
According to the achieved shrinkage of the material, the speed of the lath conveyor / folder
needs adjustment. It should never happen that the material gets pulled out of the dryer by
the lath conveyor.
82 04 / 2017
Operation
9.6.7 Optimize quality of material output.
The speed of the transportation belt must be set so that there is still sufficiently material
inside the machine after the shrinking process to avoid a stretching of the fabric track.
However, the fabric track may not overturn. If the temperature must be changed in the
heating chambers, input a new set value on the touch panel. If the speed of the transpor-
tation belt is changed, also the jet-spacing must be changed accordingly in order to reach
an even quality.
9.6.8 Optimum humidity of the material (IR-Camera)
1 Heating up all component of the machine to the working temperature.

2 Operate the machine by the hand mode
3 Select the web track speed (Specifically for material).
4 Check the humidity of material with the hand.
If the desired quality was not reached yet, the temperature and or the speed of the
web track must be corrected.
5 If the desired quality is reached, the actual value of temperature must be transferred
into the set value of temperature by the correction function "Material temperature"
(Santavision).
6 Activate the function "automatic speed control" (Santavision).
NOTE
If the speed of the web track is too slow, the material cools down too fast. In this case
the material will not reach the set temperature. The IR camera can regulate only when
the set temperature was reached.
9.6.9 General
This variety of functions makes it clear that the machine relies on a great deal of experi-
ence on the part of the user. Accordingly, the machine operator must always work with his
specific experience-based values.
04 / 2017 83
Operation
9.7 During operations

During operations the result must continuously be inspected and, if needed, corrections
have to be made.
9.7.1 Feeding speed
The speed of the infeed is controlled by the computer. However, it is better to make a pre-
liminary adjustment by hand according to the quality to be dried. This way, the controller
has something to start with.
More information can be found in the manual of the touch screen panel.
9.7.2 Overfeed of the transportation belt 0 to -50%
According to the quality to be driven and the put in jet-spacing, the lag of the transporta-
tion-belt is to be chosen. For attaining a good shrinkage, the jet-spacing should be set at
35-40 mm with a lag of -25 to -35%. If the jet-spacing is increased, also the lag must be
increased in order to achieve the same shrinkage. It should always be so much material
in the dryer that it doesn't get stretched and cannot skip.
The PLC in the cabinet oversees and regulates the selected temperature. The tempera-
ture regulation of the hot air, which streams out through the drying nozzles, can be adjust-
ed stepless.
According to preselected operating mode, "Automatic speed controlled" or "Automatic
temperature controlled", the temperature remains constant, or is regulated. Normally the
operating mode "Automatic speed controlled", is selected since this regulation is much
more efficient. In this operating mode, the speed of the fabric track is varied to get the right
material temperature on the outflow side of the machine. When the operating mode "Au-
tomatic temperature controlled" was chosen, the speed of the fabric track remains con-
stant, but the temperature in the drying chambers is being regulated, so that the material
has the right temperature at the outflow side.
9.7.4 Humidity measurement
The humidity is controlled by the Santavision. More exact action is described in the manual
of the Santavision
9.7.5 Spreader roll
If open material is driven, the spreader rolls can be switched on, so that the material is fed
fold-freely into the drying chambers.
Other adjustable values are required according to material. These values result from the
experience with the respective material and the before executed treatments.
84 04 / 2017
Operation
9.8 Shrinkage of material

The following explanations and data are intended to use by the technician, that will en-
sure, that the production will be right from the beginning. These instructions are intended
as a supplement to the record titled "Low-Shrinkage Finishing of Knitwear".
9.8.1 Fabric shrinkage
Fabric shrinkage is the attempt of a fabric to reverse the stretch occurred during the man-
ufacture, processing or use, and to assume a condition as far relaxed as possible.
The shrinking force, which is very low especially in the lower section of the residual fabric
shrink-age, is countered by the roughness of the fabric of the yarn as well as the knitted
structure and density of the material. The frictional forces are primarily overcome by the
elastic pull or elasticity of the material itself.
Where they are not sufficient, the frictional forces can be overcome mostly by adding ki-
netic energy or compression of the stitches.
9.8.2 Final width
By determining the final width of the fabric, the finisher can influence the width shrinkage
of a final product during washing and drying.
Normally the final width is several per cent over the relaxed width after the machine. It can
be obtained easily by overstretching at the final process. On account of the width stretch
of the stitches, the width shrinking potential of a material is decreased to practically zero
per cent after one to two or a maximum of three washings and tumbler drying as a rule.
In practice the width shrinking potential of final fabrics is as follows:
2/2 rib fabric.....................approx. 8 to 15 per cent
1/1 rib fabric.....................approx. 7 to 14 per cent
Interlock fabric..................approx. 5 to 10 per cent
Single jersey....................approx. 4 to 6 per cent
In practice the final width, or the standard required by the customer can be determined
very easily or the final width rendered by the customer can be controlled very easily as
well.
Immediately after the dyeing or bleaching process, a piece of wet fabric is cut away (ap-
prox. 1 m in length across the whole width). Subsequently this piece is subjected to a
washing / tumble-drier test: colored laundry program at 60° Celsius, subsequently spin
drying and tumble drying.
The width measured now has a width shrinking potential of almost 0 per cent, which
means given a second washing test of the material tested, the width would not change
decisively any more (the length shrinking potential is reduced after several washing pro-
cesses).
04 / 2017 85
Operation
9.8.3 Determination of the ideal final width
We proceed on the assumption that the tested piece has a width of 60 cm, and the fabric
is single jersey. We choose the final width in such a way that the finished fabric has a width
shrinking potential of 5 per cent.
95 % = 60 cm
100 %= X
Therefore:
X = (60 x 100) / 95 = 63.15 cm
As the final fabric always loses width somewhat during transport et cetera, we choose a
final width of 63.5 cm.
This measurement would be an ideal final width. In the following chapters, reference is al-
ways made to the ideal final width, which means a final width with a width shrinking poten-
tial in keeping with the explanations in the chapter titled "Final widths".
9.8.4 Stopping the machine
To stop the machine without losing the operating data at the end of a shift, or for mainte-
nance work, proceed as follows:
1 switch off the regulating drives
2 switch off the heating
3 switch off the circulating air fans
4 switch off the outgoing air fans
5 switch off the control voltage
6 switch the main switch off
There is no need to wait until this machine has cooled down, since the air that is still warm
can leave the machine through the outgoing air pipes. For longer shutdowns, the manual
switch-off valves on the gas supply pipes are closed.
9.8.5 Before turning off
Before stopping the machine, a forerunner is either to be sewn on and fed into the machine
or the machine is driven empty.
9.8.6 Long stop
During longer periods of interruption or after completion of the work, the machine should
be turned off.
• Stop the machine
• Main switch OFF

Explanations of the settings
10 Explanations of the settings

10.1 Placement of basket of goods
The basket is to be put so that the material can be withdrawn without any resistance.
10.2 Adjusting the straining beam

The straining beam can be adjusted to the respective material by means of a worm gear.
However, as long as not necessary, the straining beam should not be used in order to feed
as tension free as possible material in the machine.
10.3 Setting the spreader- and centering device

When the spreading of the fabric is inadequate, one should readjust the wrap angle of the
spreader rolls
The documentation contains more information about this device from Erhardt+Leimer.
10.4 Setting at the Foulard

The next chapters explain the features at the Foulard.
10.4.1 Lifting mechanism of the tub

10.4.2 Emptying-valve
This illustration shows the emptying-valve of the tub. The valve can be opened or closed
by means of the pneumatic switch at the operating panel at the Foulard.
10.4.3 Filling valve with by-pass
This illustration shows the filling valve of the tub. This filling valve is controlled by means
of a level-probe. If needed one can open the by-pass valve to top up the filling level inside
the tub.
88 04 / 2017
10.5 Adjusting the spreader rolls

Important notes about the settings of the spreader rolls can be found in the manual of the
manufacturer.
When the spreading of the fabric is inadequate, one should readjust the wrap angle of the
spreader rolls
10.6 Control of infeed rolls

This roll is the master drive of the machine. When the speed of this drive gets changed,
all other drives will change their speed as well.
10.7 Selvedge spreader

The selvedge spreader at the pin frame infeed helps to unroll the edges of the fabric track,
and grants a perfect pinning onto the needles of the transportation chain.
The edge sensor (optical or mechanical) can be adjusted sideways, in order to determine
the width of the fabric edges to be pinned on.
The documentation contains more information about this device from Erhardt+Leimer.
04 / 2017 89
10.8 Overfeed infeed roll / pinning wheel

These overfeeds can be adjusted by means of the touch panel. The adjustment can be
done in regards to the speed of the needle chain. Each pinning device (left or right) can be
adjusted independently. This overfeed is parallel to the overfeed of the pinning wheels and
is identical in the best case. However, In practice, because of the originating slip, this value
is amounts to 5% less approximately.
If a certain quality is processed for the first time on this machine, it is recommended to set
a 10% overfeed right away. Theoretically, the overfeed value of the infeed roll and the pin-
ning device should be same. In practice, the overfeed of the pinning device is approxi-
mately 5–10% higher than that of the infeed roll. The reason for this is the slippage of the
material which appears quality specific. Therefore, the overfeed of the pinning wheels
should be much higher, so that the edges of the fabric between infeed roll and pinning
wheel are slightly stretched (hand-test).
10.9 Pinning device

The shrink device moves the fabric to the pinning position and presses it with a brush belt
into the needles of the transportation chain. The pinning is monitored by a sensor.
Each shrink device has its own drive, which runs synchronized with the speed of the ma-
chine.
However, it is possible that each of these two drives can receive an overfeed, adjusted on
the touch panel.
To setting up the pinning device can be pneumatically raised.
90 04 / 2017
10.10 Pinning monitoring

The sensor shown in this picture checks fabric on the needle chain. If there should be any
holes in the material or if the pinning didn't work correctly, the sensor generate an electri-
cal signal. The controller evaluates this signal: Short term interruptions will be tolerated.
Only if longer holes are detected, the will get stopped.

10.11 Re-needle brush

The re-needle brush presses the material onto the needle chain in order to guarantee a
good pinning. The adjustment screw should be set so that the brush barely touches the
bottom of the needles.
10.12 Drive chain

Both chain rails are driven directly at the outlet head-piece.
10.13 Chain guide

The stenter frame chain glides in guides which are manufactured from material with high
lifespan. The lower slide of the chain serves to support the weight of the chain and the
fabric, while the tension of the fabric is absorbed by the lateral slides.
The deflection of the chain at the front end of the frame is done by a vertical device, that
can be shifted forth or back according to the applied chain tension.
10.14 Design of the pin chain

The needles of the chain are part of the gliding pieces.

10.15Chain monitoring
This limit switch monitor the length of the chain. If the chain is jams at a position or is torn,
the outer limit switch gets pressed and stops the machine immediately.
It is therefore extremely important that this limit switches neither get misadjusted, nor re-
moved. It is recommended to check the settings of the switches periodically.
10.16Tensioning of the chain

The tensioning device shown in this picture is used to tension the pin chain adequately.
The optimal tensioning length is 110 mm.

10.18 Chain lubrication 3-section

The chain lubrication can be preselected via the operating panel. The following options
are available:
• Chain lubrication by hand:
The chain is lubricated permanently
• Chain lubrication automatic mode:
The chain lubrication is controlled by the numbers of revolutions of the chain
• Note: The lubrication pump cannot be turned off. However, the amount of lubricant
can be adjusted by modifying the intervals and the duration of lubricating.

10.19Unpinning
Two free running rubber rolls make sure, that the fabric gets depinned from the needle
chain. After the depinning, the material is fed through a chain dancer, keeping the synchro-
nization between stenter frame and dryer.
10.20Setting up the E+L tenter guider

Stenter guider infeeds are designed to set the infeed rails to the actual position of the web,
thus assuring that the web edges are taken up on the chain pins or clips correctly.
Selvedge openers uncurl the rolled edges of webs to assure that these may be detected
and taken up by the pins optimally. The sensors are mounted on the infeed rails and scan
the web edges. If the infeed rail actual position value deviates from the set position value
(sensor center), the appropriate sensor sends the magnitude and direction of the deviation
to the digital controller for evaluation. The latter sends an appropriate correction signal to
the actuator. The actuator corrects the position of the infeed rail and thus assures correct
web take-up. The actuator and digital controller are equipped with a temperature monitor.
This prevents the components overheating via a temperature-dependent reduction of
power (max. motor current/max. actuating speed). The safety device is only activated in
the event of an overload. The mispinning guard monitors pinning or clipping at the stenter
infeed.

10.21 Pin frame adjustments

The following chapters describe the possibilities of the width adjustment at the pin frame.
It is to be heeded, that certain borders cannot be overstepped, since machine parts can
be damaged otherwise.
10.21.1 Pin frame
The purpose of the material transport chain is to take up the fabric web at the entry area,
overstretch it in a controlled manner and feed it to the intake of the dryer. At the infeed of
the chain the width of the frame gets controlled by optical eyes which detect the edges of
the fabric. The material transport chain slides in guides of wear-resistant composite ma-
terial. The bottom sliding surface of the chain serves to take up the chain and fabric
weights whereas fabric tension is taken up by the lateral sliding surface. A pin strip for ac-
commodating the fabric web is bolted onto the chain links.
10.21.2 Overstretching in general
The overstretching is used to compensate the previous elongations of the fabric. This
elongation occurs during the bleaching or dyeing process, but also during the removal of
the water.
It is decisive that the points of intersection of the stitches are loosened in order to permit
an ideal shrink drying process.
Marks produced by the squeezing unit and the problem of migration will not occur on con-
sistently / open textiles with the water removed.
10.21.3 Maximum overstretching
Caution: Due to the high force of the chain the fabric can be overtorn without any prob-
lems instead of overstretched, which causes a damage, which means the materials will
not return sufficiently any more in width, which in turn will lead to problems in the finishing
process.
10.21.4 Width adjustment
The width adjustment takes place over the Santavision control. The set value entered on
the touch panel gets handed over to the PLC, which then sets the width at the rear end
via a driven threaded spindle. The width of the front part (near the infeed of the frame) can
be set manually via hardware buttons. During automatic mode, the setting of the width
takes place on the basis of the edge detection of the fabric track.
04 / 2017 95
10.21.5 Positive bend of the joints
This figure shows the bend of the stenter frame in a positive sense. The infeed section of
the frame is wider than the back end of the frame. (This is a very rarely setting).
Setting dimension
Infeed: 200 cm
Outlet: 140 - 150 cm
10.21.6 Negative bending
This figure shows the bend of the stenter frame in a negative sense. The infeed section of
the frame is narrower than the back end of the frame. (This is the usual setting).
Setting dimension
Infeed: 200 cm
Outlet: 210 - 220 cm
10.21.7 Limit switch at the joint
The portrayed limit switch monitors the bend of the stenter frame and stops the machine,
if the maximum bend should be overstepped. However, this needs an exact setting of the
limit switches. Move the infeed section on the at most admitted bend and then set the limit
switch such that it would stop the machine.

The values are listed in the table "Technical data".
WARNING
Following points must be noticed before the pin frame width is adjusted.
• No people may stay below the pin frame
• The testing-measurement for the bend of the pin frame chain must be strictly
adhered
10.22.1 Overstretching without edge drying unit
WARNING
• The testing-measurement for the bend of the pin frame chain must be strictly
adhered
• The values of max. width must not be exceeded
Lateral overstreching = pin frame max. overstretching - working width

The lateral overstreching value is normally 400mm or 600mm
NOTE
With "lateral overstretching" means always both side together (for example 600mm=
300mm on the left side and 300mm on the right side).
Min width feeding station: 800mm

10.23Nozzle distances
These parameters should not be changed for every article. Following spacings can be cho-
sen as standard settings:
Weight per m3 200 g 400 g 600 g

10.24Temperatures
The temperature may always be a compromise between optimal shrinkage and optimal
output. Bleached material tends to the yellowing. Also the type of the optical brightener
and the kind of softener plays a role. There are heatproof aids which can be used to be
able to run the machine at a higher temperature.

10.25 Residual moisture content

This value is determined by means of the surface temperature of the fabric when it leaves
the drier (infrared camera).
In case of light fabric of 200 g/m² this value will be between 65° Celsius and 75° Celsius.
This value will increase for heavier fabrics.
This value is defined by adjusting a set point value (such as 75° Celsius). As soon as the
dried fabric reaches a set point value of 75° Celsius, a piece is cut off, weighed, dried, and
weighed again. The difference is the residual moisture contents of the fabric, which in an
ideal case should range between 4 % and 6 %.
With a bit of experience, the ideal temperature of the fabric can be determined by hand
as well.
The infrared measurement, respectively control, will prevent the overdrying of the material
to be dried, which produces unnecessary energy costs, firstly and which is detrimental to
the fabric per se, secondly.
If the fabric reaches a temperature of over 100° Celsius, we consider this overdrying. After
drying the material will absorb moisture from the ambient air very slowly only, whereby a
material which has reaches 75° Celsius and has a residual moisture of 2 per cent directly
after the drying process, will absorb the moisture from the ambient air in a very short time
up to the natural absorbing power of the fiber (6 per cent in case of cotton).
10.26 Moisture in the drying air

Residual moisture in the drying air: The set value should be set at 75 g/kg H20/air.
10.27 Steam injection

The steam-injection should be used for plush and plush-like articles in order to get a more
voluminous fabric surface. When steam is used for other materials it may reduce the dry-
ing performance.
10.28 Vibrator (beater)

From experience, the vibrator has a positive influence about the shrinkage of the width of
the material. The best performance seams to be at 500 beats per minute.
04 / 2017 99
10.29Overfeed
This parameter is fixed according to knit-type and quality. Following overfeeds should be
chosen:
Material Overfeed in %
Single Jersey 10 - 15
Interlock 15 - 20
Rib 20 - 25
The optimal overfeed should be controlled also by eye (inside the drying chambers).
10.29.1 Oven section (side view)
Material flow with correct speed adjustments:

The material forms a sinusoidal wave-form within the vertical spacing of the transportation
belt.
10.29.2 Too much overfeed
Material flow with too much overfeed:

The material forms a too large of a sinusoidal wave-form within the vertical spacing of the
transportation belt.
10.29.3 Too little overfeed
Material flow with too little overfeed:

The material forms a too small of a sinusoidal wave-form within the vertical spacing of the
transportation belt.

10.30 Tensioning of the transportation belt

The transportation belt gets tensioned by springs on either side of the machine.
10.30.1 Tensioning instructions
The optimal belt-tension is reached, if the tensioning nut compresses the spring from 144
mm in untensioned length to 94 mm in tensioned length. This tensions the belt sufficiently.
The applied tension of 780 N is far under the admitted maximum, by the manufacturer cal-
culated longitudinal tenacity of the belt. It is to be obeyed that the nozzles are at the low-
ermost position during the tensioning of the belt. The nut at the end of the spindle is used
only during the installation of a new transportation belt. This nut can be used to keep back
the roll. Once the installation an tensioning of the belt is completed, this nut should be re-
moved. If the belt is installed ready, this mother of the spindle should be removed.
10.30.2 Monitoring the belt tension
NOTE
The tension of the spring should be checked regularly and if needed, retensioned.
10.30.3 Manufacturers notes about the maximum belt tension
PTFE coated transportation belts with glass– or Kevlar material has a very low elongation.
Therefore, the belt tension is not defined by % of the length but by % of the tenacity of the
belt. 2% of the respective tenacity should not be overstepped. The transportation belt pos-
sesses a longitudinal tenacity of 50 kg per cm across the width. In principle, the belt-ten-
sion should always be kept as low as possibly. Too high belt tension reduces the lifespan
of the belts. One can recognize an overdrawn belt by the generated folds in longitudinal
direction.
04 / 2017 101
10.31Setting up the E+L belt guider

The belt guiding system VG 19 keeps the transportation belt centered. Pivoting point of the
roll is at the fixed bearing. Depending upon the actual position of the transportation belt the
roll can be pivoted to bring the belt back to the center position.
10.31.1 Additional Information
NOTE
Read also the operating manual of the manufacturer of this product!
10.32Regulation of speed
This machine is a high-performance nozzle belt drier, which permits almost ideal shrinkage
of the fabric in length and width.
The fabric entering the machine with the corresponding overfeed is passed through the
machine between two belts. By means of the slit nozzles offset against each other below
and over the belts hot air is blown on to the wet fabric at high speed. Apart from the drying
action, the fabric is put into an undulating kinetic energy. By this energy, the stitch structure
is loosened causing a good shrinkage in length and width.
The problem with nozzle belt driers with a certain length, which guarantees an economic
passage time of the fabric, in actual fact is to apply as much kinetic energy to the fabric as
possible. Santex AG has solved this problem by installing duplex nozzles and a very high
air circulation.
In this respect the Santashrink is superior to all other nozzle belt driers, and produces ideal
shrinkage values.
The dependence of the shrinkage value on the volume of the kinetic energy renders clear
that short driers with only one or two chambers do not produce the same good results as
longer driers.
As from three drying chambers, the differences in fabric shrinkage are negligible, especial-
ly if the driers are operated correctly.
In this respect, the fact has to be noted that the shrinkage of the fabric is not the same in
every moisture range. At the beginning of the drying process, the fabric shrinks immedi-
ately, which is the elasticity shrinkage of the wet material.
Up to a moisture content of approx. 35 per cent, hardly any fabric shrinkage takes place.
With the dynamic drying shrinkage setting in below approx. 35 per cent, which is caused
by the kinetic energy added to the fabric, the decisive phase of the shrinkage sets in.
102 04 / 2017
As the evaporation of the water in the fabric takes place linear at least up to a residual
moisture of 35 per cent, becoming slower subsequently, the kinetic energy is not effective
for the fabric shrinkage up to a residual moisture of 35 per cent, with the exception of the
short initial phase. It is only below this moisture content that the kinetic energy results in
shrinkage.
In a one or two chamber machines with the same drying temperature in the fields, hardly
more than half the kinetic energy added is used for shrinkage, depending on the initial
moisture.
The efficiency can be improved considerably, if the temperature in the first and second
field is set very high in a multi-field drier to achieve a residual moisture of 35 per cent very
fast, and if the temperature is lowered in the other fields to obtain a time as long as pos-
sible for the drying shrinkage.
In order to use the shrinking capacity of the drier in an ideal way, it is useful to set the
speed by means of a moisture measuring device of the type SANTAMATIC. This unit
measures the temperature of the fabric surface at the drier outlet, which is in direct rela-
tionship to the residual moisture of the fabric. By moving the measuring device across the
entire drier width a perfect drying action is safeguarded even in case of several tracks.
The lowest fabric temperature measured, which corresponds to the highest residual mois-
ture, is converted into the corresponding drier speed by the computer.
Apart from the economic performance of this unit, which permits operation at an ideal drier
capacity, excess drying of the fabric is prevented, which could cause problems in the com-
pacting section downstream.
The distance of the belts installed in the drier can be varied between 30 mm and 90 mm.
For light qualities a narrow distance, and for heavy voluminous qualities a rather larger
distance should be chosen. In the area of the wet fabric, the distance should be narrower
increasing with increasing dryness.
The vibration zone installed in the drier causes a better width shrinkage especially with
high width overstretch of the fabric to be dried, however it has only an indirect effect on
the length shrinkage.
The following standard settings are rendered for a three-field standard drier. It is consid-
ered safe that the water in the fabric to be treated has been removed and the fabric has
been overstretched on a Santastretch in an ideal way (cotton).

10.34 Jumping device

The jumping device allows an optimal feeding of the fabric track onto the transportation
belt. The adjustment nut at the outside of the infeed can be used to adjust the length of
the apron. The length of the apron should be set so that the half round profile at the end
of the apron has a distance of 25 mm to the roll. (See also the drawing)

The Pleva measuring unit needs adjustment once in a while. Please follow the instruction
manual of the manufacturer of this device.

10.36Exhaust air flaps

Inside of the exhaust air pipes there is an air flap to regulate the amount of exhaust air.
If the lever is in the position shown in the figure, the air flap is completely opened. If the
lever is in the center left position, the air flap is completely closed.
10.37Folder
Folder and conveyor belt form a unit. Corrections at the speed of the transportation belt
affect therefore also the speed of the folder. At the folder there aren't any mechanical ad-
justments do be done. The speed of the folder, together with the lath conveyor can be cor-
rected versus the main speed of the machine. The speed should be set so that the material
does not get pulled out of the dryer.

10.38 Taperlock bushes

The following chapters describe The assembly and removal procedures of the Taper lock
bushes.
10.38.1 Assembly of Taper lock bushes
• Clean and degrease the bore and taper surfaces of the bush and the tapered bore of
the pulley. Insert the bush in the pulley hub and line up the holes (half thread holes
must line up whit half straight holes)
• Lightly oil the grub screws (bush size 1008 to 3030) or the screws (bush size 3535 to
5050) and screw them in, do not tighten yet.
• Clean and degrease the shaft. Fit pulley with taper, bush on shaft and locate in desired
position.
• When using a key should first be fitted in the shaft keyway. There should be a top
clearance between the key and the keyway in the bore
• Using a hexagon socket wrench (DIN911) gradually tighten the grub/cap screws in ac-
cordance with the torques.
• When the drive has been operating under load for a short period (half to one hour)
check and ensure that the screws remain at the appropriate tightening torque.
• In order to eliminate the ingress of dirt fill all empty holes with grease.
10.38.2 Removal of Taper lock bushes
• Slacken all screws. Depending on the size of the bush remove one or two. After oiling
point and thread of grub screws or under head and thread of cap screws insert them
into the jacking off holie(s) in bush.
• Tighten screw(s) uniformly and alternately until the bush is loose in the hub and pulley
is free on the shaft.
• Remove pulley bush assembly from shaft.

11.1 Fabric after knitting (96 feeds)
11.1.1 Fabric after dyeing (144 feeds)
Fabric structure after the dye process and subsequent washing (household-laundry) and
tumbling. An easy test can be run for every quality determining, how the fabric behaves in
a relaxed condition (rise and twist). Hence, the fabric has to be rendered in this shape after
the finishing process in order to safeguard that the made-up garment does not change af-
ter home laundering. If the fabric is brought into an unnatural shape during the finishing
operation (adjustment of the stitch courses or wales by means of a Mahlo weft straight-
ened or adjustment of the wales by hand), the made-up parts will always return to the orig-
inal shape. For this reason, it is important that the fabric is always overstretched in an ideal
way on the SANTASTRETCH so that the material shrinks to the natural shape in the SAN-
TASHRINK. However, there are "specialists" who bring the fabric into an unnatural shape
(straight stitch courses and straight wales), and set this shape by synthetic resin. For this
reason the garment will return to the original shape after two to three washings instead of
one washing. The problem with the oblique wale course can be improved or solved in the
knitting process only.
•The twist of the yarn (S or Z spun yarn) to be used for knitting, the number of twists, num-
ber of systems, type of knitting machine have an influence on the angle of the needle
wales.
• By knitting alternately with an S spun yarn and a Z spun yarn this problem can be elimi-
nated practically, but a new article is created (optically as well as in feel).

Maintenance
12 Maintenance
The following chapters describe the maintenance to be done at the machine.
12.1 Regular maintenance jobs

To ensure that the machine's performance is constant, the following jobs must be carried
out regularly:
• The machine must be cleaned regularly.
• The machine must be maintained regularly.
• The machine must be lubricated regularly.
12.1.1 Cleaning
The tidiness of the material to be processed is guaranteed by the regular cleaning of the
machine. Furthermore, the lifespan of prefabricated parts and the whole machine is in-
creased by the cleaning. Regular cleaning of the machine improves the safety!
12.1.2 Maintenance
The regular maintenance guarantees the reliability of the machine. Through the regular
maintenance, damages at prefabricated parts can prevent or are delayed.
12.1.3 Lubrication
The regular lubrication of the machine prevents premature wear at moving parts.
12.2 Maintenance on demand

If error messages appear on the control screen, it needs to be taken appropriate action
immediately.
12.3 Cleaning
Since the material to be processed is creating a lot of lint and fluff, it is necessary to check
along the fabric track for lint depositions at least once per shift. If there are any lint depo-
sitions, the should be removed by means of a vacuum cleaner.
12.3.1 Clean the nozzles
The air nozzles in the heating chambers must be cleaned to remove dirt on a regular
base. If they are heavily contaminated, they must be cleaned with suitable products. Pro-
ceed as follows in this case:
• open the chamber doors
• remove the baffle plate
• pull out the tip of the nozzle and clean with a vacuum cleaner.
• then (if necessary) blow off with compressed air.
When all the nozzles have been cleaned, the baffle plate must be fixed in place again and
all the chamber doors must be closed.
04 / 2017 111
Maintenance
12.3.2 Cleaning the transportation belts
Check the transportation belts for contamination periodically. If they are dirty clean them
with suitable means. Do not use any liquids such as water or base liquor. The transporta-
tion belt is not moisture proof. It could macerate and could get destroyed.
12.3.3 Clean the heat exchangers
The heat exchangers in the drying chambers must be cleaned from contamination period-
ically. If they are contaminated strongly, they must be cleaned with suitable methods. Pro-
ceed as follows:
• Turn machine off
• Secure the machine (lock main switch)
• Open the service doors
• Use compressed air nozzles to clean out the heat exchangers
• Remove the sealing cover between the heat exchangers
• Use a vacuum cleaner to clean out the gap between the exchangers.
• Reinstall the sealing cover
• Use vacuum cleaner to clean the upper side of the heat exchangers
• After completing the cleaning close all service doors
• Unlock the main switch and start up the machine
Since this job whirl up very much dust, is recommended to carry a face mask
12.3.4 Cleaning the motors
The motors must be checked for dirt accumulation periodically. If they are dirty, they must
be cleaned with the suitable methods.
12.3.5 Motors and gears
To prevent the electrical motors from overheating, the suction openings on the fan wheels
of all the motors must be cleaned to remove dirt, fluff and dust. Further instructions can be
found in the manufacturer's documentation.
12.3.6 Exhaust air fans
The exhaust air fans must be checked every quarter and they should be cleaned at least
every six months.
112 04 / 2017
Maintenance
12.3.7 Outgoing air pipes
The outgoing air pipes must be cleaned at least once a year to remove dirt. If they are
heavily contaminated, they must be cleaned with the appropriate products. To do this, pro-
ceed as follows:
• dismantle the outgoing air pipe assembly
• remove the dust with a strong vacuum cleaner
• re-assemble the outgoing air pipe assembly.
These jobs swirl up a great deal of dust, so you are advised to wear a face mask.
12.3.8 Belt guiding system
A weekly inspection of the belts is advisable in order to detect faults or contamination. The
edge sensors and the belt monitoring limit switches must also be tested to guarantee per-
fect functioning.
12.3.9 Electrical equipment
On the control cabinet, the air filters for the air conditioning system must be cleaned once
a week. The components built onto the machine must also be checked for damage once
a week. When carrying out maintenance work on the machine, always remove the main
fuse and fix a warning sign to the control cabinet.
12.3.10 Cleaning the air conditioner unit
In order to guarantee a continuous, clean air supply of the air conditioning unit, the filter
mat in the unit should be cleaned periodically. More instructions are to be found in the
handbook of the manufacturer of this unit.
12.3.11 Inspections
Provided that the maintenance of the machine is carried out regularly and correctly, the
inspections are carried out on a phased basis:
1 At monthly intervals, the operational mechanic inspects all the important mechanical
components (such as roller bearings) in addition to the work on the normal mainte-
nance plan.
2 After five years, there will be a first inspection when all the maintenance jobs must be
carried out thoroughly. All the bearings are replaced on this occasion. An inspection
of the individual components is also advised for this purpose.
3 A complete general overhaul should take place after ten years at the latest. On this
occasion, the machine is completely checked and cleaned. All faulty components are
replaced or repaired. This work should be carried out by a Santex technician.

12.5 Maintenance
The regular maintenance guarantees the reliability of the machine. Through the regular
maintenance, damages at prefabricated parts can prevent or are delayed.
Once a year, it is advisable to carry out a total inspection of the machine with thorough
cleaning and testing. Faulty or worn parts should be replaced so that another year of trou-
ble free operation may be expected.
For additional information on maintenance, service, cleaning, etc. please read the infor-
mation provided by the component manufacturers. The manufacturer's descriptions are
appended to the documentation. These are binding for maintenance of the relevant com-
ponents unless any other reference is made.
12.5.1 Maintenance / Safety

12.7 Maintaining the pin frame

All possible maintenance- and up keeping operations must be done from technically
trained and properly authorized persons; the applicable safety regulations are to be heed-
ed.
12.7.1 Adjusting the spring tension of the chain
Check the spring tension periodically.

On demand, you must loosen or tighten the chain tension at the tensioning nuts, until the
load of the spring is correct again, respectively until the tension pointer reaches the cor-
rect position.
Important: If the chain tension continues to be insufficiently, despite the correct setting of
the chain tensioning device, the chain must be shortened in the length, that is removing
of a chain link. This must be done on both chains at the same time.
Comment: A different number of chain links on the right and left sides yields warped ma-
terial.
12.7.2 Chain tension
The machine does not check the chain for proper tensioning. Therefore, it is necessary,
that the maintenance people check the tension periodically.
12.7.3 Chain lubrication
The lubrication of the chain takes place automatically by means a lubrication pump. It is
recommended however to keep an eye on the lubrication of the chain. Under circum-
stances, the quantity of lubricant must be adjusted according the materials to be pro-
cessed.
04 / 2017 117
Maintenance
12.7.4 Recommended chain lubricant
It is recommended to use the following type of lubricant for lubricating the stenter frame
chain.
Klüber:
Chain lubricant type Klübersynth CTH 2-260
12.7.5 Chain breakage
Remove the chain. Check the chain and the chain guides for signs of the wear and dam-
age; replace all defective parts.
Comment: If you check the chain, you especially heed all possible hairline crack (material
fatigue). Installing and tension the chain after it again.
Important: Start the chain only with slow speed.
12.7.6 Malfunction of the pinning
The control mechanism of the pinning of the material is only activated with a machine-
speed of more than 8 m/min. This is used for guaranteeing an undisturbed pinning.
Causes of a release: (machine stop)

• A hole in the material
• Material badly sewn together
• Contamination of the optical edge-sensor.
Width adjustment of the chain at the front or back
Causes:
• Release of the motor protection switch
• Problems with the spindle-drive of the width adjustment
Activity:
• Check the spindle drive of the width adjustment
• Check for a possible short
• Reset the motor-protection switch.
12.7.7 Installation of the chain
Move the chain sections into the chain guide by hand. Put the connection stud into the
chain link and install the circlip on the connection stud. Assemble the chain links and ten-
sion the chain.
118 04 / 2017
Maintenance
12.7.8 Checking for wear at the connection studs
Check both chains for wear every 3 to 4 months.

Check the connection studs: In order to get a meaningful result it is necessary check a
minimum of four connection studs: Two of the right chain and two of the left chain. Re-
move the connection studs of different places. The connection studs must be without any
deep wear marks.
Check the connection studs by means of a vernier calipers or a micrometer.
Wear at the connection studs:
Nominal measurement = 10.0mm
wear-limit = 9.5mm
Wear at the stud holes:

Nominal measurement = 10.0mm
wear-limit = 10.2mm

12.9.4 Conditions of sale
Textractor is guaranteed against manufacturing defects.
Remarks:
In case of manufacturing defects, Rollin does not accept liability for costs of transport, dis-
mantling and reassembling and possible production losses.
Squeezing performance given is indicative only. It is strongly recommended, at the time of
each negotiation of a sale contract, to carry out preliminary squeezing tests with the most
representative fabric treated in the usual working conditions.
12.9.5 Storage conditions
It is essential to store Textractor in its original packaging, out of the weather, in a dry, cool
place
(temperature over 0°C and under 40°C).
For storage longer than one year, counting from the manufacturing date, it is necessary to
proceed
with light grinding to regenerate the surface of the covering.
Remarks:
• Never place the roll resting on the covering
• Do not store it near an electrical supply
12.9.6 Transportation
Use appropriate slings (see picture left).
Slings and handling method as described in picture on the right hand side are unsuitable
because they risk causing detachment of the covering at the edges.

12.9.9 Conditions of use
Maintenance of Textractor
When Textractor is used in a chemically aggressive environment and/or at high tempera-

tures (above 70°C), it is strongly recommended that the cover is left in an airy storage
area for about three weeks before proceeding with grinding.
It is also highly recommended to grind Textractor preventively after about 4000 hours or:
• Once every year of use in 2 eight hour shifts
• Once every six month for use in 3 eight hour shifts
When grinding, it is important to remove about 2 mm on diameter, which allows an aver-

age of
about 4 to 5 regrindings (depending on the rubber thickness) to be effected between re-
coverings
04 / 2017 123
Maintenance
of the rolls.
This information is only given as an indication.
Remark:
When the covering is damaged or the surface is significantly rough, it is important to grind
the cover, without delay removing a depth on radius equal to the depth of roughness or
damage + 1 mm
Not keeping to frequency and procedure for grinding can result in:
• Shortening the life of the cover
• Destroying the cover.
The press rolls have, except in exceptional cases, a parabolic profile for which the value
and intermediate points are specified on a graph accompanying the sale contract. Para-
bolic profiles are calculated to compensate for flexing of the pair of rolls forming the
squeezing pad due to the load applied (most frequent load: 50 kg/cml). It is essential that
Textractor is used at the load specified in the contract of sale.
Not keeping to this parameters can cause:
• An irregular and inefficient squeezing

• The destruction of the cover.
It is recommended that, at time of start up and periodically, checks are made to verify the
roll is used at the correct load. To do this it is only necessary to make a static imprint fol-
lowing the operating method given below:
12.9.10 Example
For a roll of 2000 mm table width corresponding to a total load of 10,000 kg, ie 5,000 kg
per page.
Textractor must be used strictly in the linear pressure as prescribed in the sales contract.
Failure to comply this parameter may cause:
A heterogeneous and ineffective squeezing
The destruction of the gumming.
It is recommended to check at startup and at periodic intervals that the roller actually works
with the prescribed linear pressure.
It is sufficient to establish a static footprint according to the method described below.
12.9.11 Operating method for a static imprint
124 04 / 2017
Maintenance
12.9.11.1Preliminary precautions:
• The rolls must not be in rotation during this operation.
• The fabric or net should previously have been removed from the squeezing pad..
• The rolls must be dry and clean.
12.9.11.2Making an imprint
1 Take from the pack of paper a length equal to or slightly longer than the covered length
of the roll.
2 Remove the protective layer of paper.
3 Introduce the paper into the NIP of the rolls
4 Put the pressure to the required or usual load for work.
5 Keep it under pressure for 30 seconds.
6 Release the pressure and raise the rolls.
7 Remove the paper imprint.
8 Mark operator or drive sides on the imprinted paper
Important:
Indicate on the imprint the value of pressure in bars and the load in kg used on the rolls
during the
imprint. When the roll is used correctly, the imprint is in form of a perfect rectangle.
When the imprint is not perfect, adjust the load until the imprint has the shape of a perfect
rectangle. The squeezing pad should be controlled in such a way that the load is automat-
ically lifted when the machine is at stop.
12.9.11.3Recommendation
It is highly recommended that every weekend:
1 Check the surface of the covering to detect possible irregularities and to be in a posi-
tion to take preventive measures.
2 Clean the surface thoroughly with a brush and hot water.

12.11 Inspections
Provided that the maintenance of the machine is carried out regularly and correctly, the
inspections are carried out on a phased basis:
1 At monthly intervals, the operational mechanic inspects all the important mechanical
components (such as roller bearings) in addition to the work on the normal mainte-
nance plan.
2 After five years, there will be a first inspection when all the maintenance jobs must be
carried out thoroughly. All the bearings are replaced on this occasion. An inspection
of the individual components is also advised for this purpose.
3 A complete general overhaul should take place after ten years at the latest. On this
occasion, the machine is completely checked and cleaned. All faulty components are
replaced or repaired. This work should be carried out by a Santex technician.

12.13 Lubricant characteristics

VISCOSITY
The viscosity is one of the most important characteristics is when selecting the right oil. It
is influenced by different parameters like speed and temperature.
In the following, we summarize the most important general hints for the selection of the
right viscosity:
HIGH VISCOSITY
Suitable for low speeds as well as high temperatures. (A too low viscosity causes early
wear under these operating conditions.)
LOW VISCOSITY
Suitable for high speeds as well as low temperatures. (A too high viscosity leads in this
case to a diminution of the efficiency and to overheating.)
ADDITIONS
All oils contain anti-wear additions, EP (more or less strongly), oxidation-preventatives
and foam reducing agents. It should be assured, that these additions are soft and don't
attack the sealings.
OIL BASE
It can be petroleum or synthetic oil. Synthetic oil is more expensive, however, it bares
some advantages:
a) lower friction-coefficient (therefore better efficiency)

b) better stability over a long time (lifetime lubrication possibly)
c) better viscosity-index (adapts itself at different temperatures better)
The advantages of mineral oil are the less expenses and the better break-in performance.
04 / 2017 131
Maintenance
12.13.1 Klüber Barrierta L 55/2
This lubricant is stable of temperature up to 260°C and is water resistant. It is applied at

hot zones of the machine. It may not be mixed under no circumstances with mineral lubri-
cants however, since the lubricant characteristics go lost otherwise. The grease dries up
and becomes sandy. Already smallest quantities of mineral lubricants destroy Barrierta L
55/2.
If a change of lubricant is planned, then the bearing must be removed and cleaned thor-
oughly before applying an other lubricant.
12.13.2 Klüber Staburags NBU 8 EP
Description:
Staburags NBU 8 EP is a lubricating grease based on mineral oil and barium complex
soap and is water resistant. It has been used successfully for many years as a long-term
grease for bearings subject to high specific loads. Its good wear protection properties are
enhanced by the barium complex thickener. Staburags NBU 8 EP protects reliably against
corrosion and is resistant to water. It meets the requirements of DIN 51 807, dated May
1970: SKF-R2F test, test run B, 140 °C, and it achieves about 4000 operating hours in the
SKF-ROF test at 120 °C.
Application:
Staburags NBU 8 EP has proven efficient as a rolling bearing and high pressure grease
protecting against wear. It is used in traction motors, journal bearings, electric motors,

Two types of disturbances are distinguished:
- Production-disturbances (lacks at the treated fabric)
- Machine-disturbances (defect machine-parts)
- The production-disturbances are essentially quality-lacks, the machine-disturbances are
defects at the installation. But machine disturbances may also cause lack in quality.
13.1 Overview
This machine has a large number of sensors, which continuously inform the controller over
the correct working of the different machine parts. If a sensor delivers an error signal at the
controller, a measure is executed according to error level. To each disturbance, a priority
is assigned, a so-called error level. 6 different levels are used on this machine. According
to the error level measurers are taken by the controller. The following chapters describe
the different error levels.
13.1.1 Error level 1
If the controller recognizes an error level 1, the machine will get shut down immediately.
The control gets turned off. A message will get displayed on the screen and the signal horn
will be turned on.
If the controller recognizes an error level 2 the fabric track gets stopped immediately.
There is a "Fast stop" executed. The fabric track gets stopped within 2 to 3 seconds. Other
aggregates such as heating, circulating air, etc. remain turned on. A message will get dis-
played on the screen and the signal horn will be turned on.
If the controller recognizes an error level 3, the fabric track gets stopped in a normal way.
The ramping down takes the same time as when the machine gets stopped by hand.. Oth-
er aggregates such as heating, circulating air, etc. remain turned on. A message will get
displayed on the screen and the signal horn will be turned on.
If the controller recognizes an error level 4, the heatings and the circulating air fans get
turned of. The fabric track remains running. A message will get displayed on the screen
and the signal horn will be turned on.
This level is not used. (Reserve)
134 04 / 2017
Interferences
If the controller recognizes an error level 6, only an alarm and message will get generated.
A few particular faults can also cause further measurements such as turning off a single
heat exchanger, or shutting down a single circulating air fan.
13.1.7 Device number
The device number which sometimes is shown at the end of the error message, e.g. (+72-
Q1) refers to a hardware component inside the electrical cabinet. It originates from the
electric diagram. The first part of this number, e.g. +72 stands for the page number of the
diagram. The second part of this number "Q1" refers to the device on this page.
13.2 Dealing with faults

The following chapters describe what to do, when an error occurs.
13.2.1 Dealing with faults
The following chapters describe what to do, when an error occurs.
13.2.2 Displaying error messages
If the PLC recognizes an error, the following will happen:

• The error message gets displayed on the touch panel
• In the corresponding display window, the error message is displayed.
13.2.3 Fault receipt
This button is used to acknowledge a fault that is present. If there is a fault which has been
recognized by the control, a fault message is always outputted on the TP. An acoustic
warning is also given. This button is used to acknowledge the message, meaning that the
machine operator has received the warning message. The necessary actions must then
be taken to make the machine ready to operate again.
Different fault levels are programmed into this machine. Depending on the level, automat-
ically specified actions are initiated by the control, such as switching the machine off, etc.
13.2.4 Close error message
The message display contains a button "Close". Press this button and then deselect the
component that has caused the error. Remedy the disturbance now. When the distur-
bance is removed, reselect the component. If the error is still present, a new error mes-
sage will get displayed.

13.2.6 Belt guiding unit
One of the transportation belts got out of its track and has caused an error. The machine
will automatically get stopped and an error message will appear on the touch screen. Lo-
calize the cause for this error. Possible causes might be:
• mechanical or electrical malfunctioning of the belt guiding unit.
• damaged transportation belt
Take actions to remedy this problem, i.e.:

• Replace belt sensor
• Repair the transportation belt
• Readjust the transportation belt
• Readjust belt sensor
13.2.7 Circulating air motors
A motor-protection switch of one the circulating air motors has caused an alarm because
of overload or short-circuit. The corresponding error message is shown on the screen of
the panel. Localize the cause and remove it. Possible causes might be:
To high current consumption through a mechanical disturbance such as:

• Overheating through inadequate cooling
• Insufficient lubrication
To high current consumption through an electrical disturbance such as:

• Loose electrical connections
• Poor electric isolation of the motor
To high current consumption a cold-start with cold air:

• Cold air is heavier and needs more power.
13.2.8 Drives
A motor-protection switch of one the circulating air motors has caused an alarm because
