Perfect dyeing and finishing every time with Goller

Goller, a member of the CHTC Fong’s Group, will introduce its new highly efficient Oxidator module for woven fabrics at ITMA 2023 in Milan from June 8-14, at stand B106 in Hall 18.

The interchangeable modular design of the new Oxidator washing compartment enables it to be interchanged to meet the demands of differing fabric qualities and washing requirements, extending the life of the machine. It combines powerful spray washing and up-down roller washing to achieve an excellent cleaning effect, while accommodating 25% more fabric content than a conventional drum washer.

The Oxidator enables multi-power spraying at adjustable angles with high circulation of the water for excellent washing efficiency, automatic cleaning of the squeezer and filter and automatic tension control. It is suitable for all kinds of woven fabric.

Goller continuous dyeing and wet finishing units are manufactured at the plants of Fong’s in Germany and China. The design and development centre in Germany designs tailor-made solutions for customers based on a modular combination of different compartments depending on the process, fabric and production speed.

The company has been producing machines for over a century and can draw on comprehensive knowledge in the field of the continuous treatment of textile materials when designing bespoke customer solutions.

In addition to innovative ideas in the development of machines, design based on experience, experimental field tests and the detailed development of the different modules, Goller’s engineers can help to reduce energy and water during production on continuous wet finishing plants.

This applies equally to apparel manufacturing and to the processing of technical textiles and high-performance materials. As a result, modernisation initiatives are assessed more carefully – even as the need to upgrade production systems continues to intensify.
