Drying processes
Stenter frame drying is an energy-intensive process. The majority of costs associated with a
dryer are directly related to the heating of circulating air and the volume of air discharged via
exhaust fans. The most effective way to save energy in the dryer is to reduce the amount of
heated exhaust air.
Retrofit kit
CINTEX retrofit set are designed to deliver substantial energy cost savings for existing stenter frames.
Components
The set includes the ECO Energy Control with touch panel and sensors for the dryer's air humidity and air temperature.
Working method
The amount of exhaust air required for the drying process is regulated by exhaust fans that are operated with inverters.
Savings
Increasing the moisture content in the dryer from 60 to 100 g/kg has been shown to achieve a 30% reduction in energy consumption, accompanied by a 6% decrease in production costs.

A further installation of the ECO EnergyControl system with industrial
humidity sensor FSX on the textile dryer in Taiwan has confirmed that half of
the previously used exhaust air volume of drying air heated to 200°C could be
saved with automatic control. This means an energy saving of over 50% compared
to the operating mode before automation.
The tests with data collection were carried out over 4 months during the
regular drying and heat treatment process of polyester/synthetics, whereby the
consumption data was determined during regular production operation in the
original manual mode without control and additionally with automatic control of
the two exhaust air fans and automatic setpoint.
This is an impressive success story of energy saving potential in
existing textile dryers and must encourage textile dryer operators to take
action, especially as the modest investment costs are amortized within 1-3
months through energy savings.

BENEFIT FOR CUSTOMER
ECO Energy Control for significant energy savings in the drying
process.
With the ECO Energy Control, the heating energy used is adapted to the
actual requirement by monitoring the moisture content of the exhaust air in the
dryer and automatically controlling the blower speed.
In automatic control mode, the setpoint for the drying and heating process is automatically calculated from the current dryer temperature.
Additional advantage is the
integrated calculation of the energy consumption and the carbon load during the
drying process.
Versions:
The ECO Energy Control is available as:
EEC compact unit with integrated touch panel 7“ for mounting at side of dryer
EEC box with extended touch panel 7“ for installation in control bridge
Air humidity sensor FSX
The proven air humidity sensor is used to minimize the energy consumption of drying processes in dryers
and stenters.
Air temperature sensor TC
An
additional temperature sensor for the dryer circulating air is used to
calculate the energy consumption and the carbon load.
On the occasion of his 69th birthday Mr. Hans Peter
Kull has decided to enter his well-deserved retirement at the end of January
2023.
Hans Peter Kull has been part of our team for more
than 16 years and was responsible for the Asian market as Area Sales Director.

Great, thanks to Mr. Pun and his team in Boonchuay for the special support during the commissioning of the systems.
Start-up PLEVA Weftstraightner SL1 series 300 and Size control system in Thailand
Another commissioning of a PLEVA weft straightening machine SL1 and a sizing control with pick-up measurement AS120 at Boonchuay Industrial (BCI) in Thailand we were able to successfully carry
out to the full satisfaction of the customer.
