Santex Group will be present with all its experts on their booth in Hall 3, Booth 303 A to cover the big product range represented by its 4 world wide recognized brands Santex, Cavitec, Isotex and Sperotto Rimar. With its commitment to excellence and quality towards its customers Santex Group will prove to be ahead of the challenges imposed by the today’s market conditions.

The price/quality requirements have increased steadily and  Santex follows this trend for the Turkish Market. Many companies have decided to increase their quality standards rapidly with the aim to increment the added value of their products. It is a challenge many of them are taking seriously and are therefore investing in good machinery.

As Santex we offer finishing lines for knitted fabrics in tubular and in open-width form as:

  • SANTASTRETCH: Continuous and edge-mark free rope detwisting, dewatering, softening
  • SANTASHRINK: One, two or three level shrink dryer
  • SANTACOMPACT: Continuous levelling, steaming, compacting
  • SYNPACT: High-speed two-stage compacting line

The latest additions to the Santex product group is first a special drying chamber which acts as an energy saving device, while at the same time increasing productivity of new and existing Santex

dryers.

The second novelty announced by Santex is Synpact - one of the fastest Compacting Machine in the market: A continuous two-stage compacting machine which combines the virtues of the rubber belt with the superior handle of the felt shrinking technique. This compactor, already installed and running with a leading customer of Santex, delivers at high speeds up to double than those achievable with the felt technology, while maintaining a better residual shrinkage, lustre finish and excellent touch of the knits.

The highlights for Sperotto Rimar are:

  • DECOFAST: Decatizing machines of woollen and wool-blended fabrics
  • UNIVERSA: Continuous steaming, shrinkage and relaxation
  • THERMA: Heat setting machine for tubular knitted fabrics
  • NOVA: Water-free scouring machines

Cavitec is the symbol for outstanding quality machinery in the sector of Coating, Laminating and Prepreg, where fine accuracy and reproducibility is needed such as automotive, furniture, shoe industry, medical textiles, high-tech garmenting and many others.

 

  CAVI-2-COAT, coating and laminating machine

The new coating and laminating machine, called CAVI-2-COAT, is Cavitec’s latest addition to its already extensive range of hotmelt coating and lamination solutions. A masterfully designed arrangement allows the user to coat films, membranes or textiles with one of the following selectable techniques: Full Coating, Reverse Coating, Both side coating, plus the by now traditional Gravure (Dot) Coating. As in all Cavitec products, several configurations are possible: from coating only with small batches up to non-stop lines combining coating and laminating in one process.

Cavitec is a leader in Impregnation Lines for Prepreg. These are base materials for composites used for printed circuit boards, structural materials for wind energy, aerospace industry, sport goods and many more.

ISOTEX from Sandrigo in Italy is a European leader in the production of coating and laminating machinery and plants and holds a market share of 10% worldwide. Being the oldest and biggest player in the industry nationwide, Isotex draws on unparalleled knowhow and experience and is able to offer customised solutions that are tailor-made to the individual need of the customers.

Isotex long experience and know-how distinguishes from most of their competitors: technology is state-of-the-art and it is the goal to stay at least one step ahead of the Asian competition and draw on an excellent reputation worldwide and on top references, especially for individual solutions.

Hardly any plants delivered from Isotex are identical. Quality and customizing have top priority. All machines and plants are 100% ‘Made in Italy’ and meet the quality expectations connected to this label.

Isotex lines are produced for the following main production: Tarpaulin, Conveyor belt, Synthetic Leather, Air Bag, Adhesive belt, etc. Founded in 1957, Isotex was taken over by the Swiss enterprise Santex Holding in summer 2011. Since then, the company has been operating under the name Isotex Engineering.
