Compact coil cleaning system helps dyeing and finishing enterprises improve quality and reduce waste

Pincroft, based in Lancashire, north of the UK, has a glorious tradition in textile dyeing and finishing for more than 100 years. In the past 25 years, the company has become a global leader in the production of workwear fiber fabrics. As a major supplier to the British military and many other industries, pincroft's customers always require that fabrics be dyed and finished to the highest quality standards. In recent three years, the company has been using its vacclean coil surface cleaning system equipment in many production lines to ensure the high standard processing of fabrics.

"In terms of quality control, we set a very high benchmark for ourselves," said Adrian Kirkpatrick, the company's production manager. "Our production rule is that there should be no more than 10 defects on the 100 meter roll. In a working environment like ours, the small pollutants in the air are inevitable. Dust, thread ends and loose spinning will all be adsorbed on the fabric, which will cause some major problems to the quality of processing completion, because the pollutants will form stains when printing and dyeing, and then will leave stains when falling or removing. If these problems occur frequently, a large number of defective products will be produced and reworked from the beginning. This is a waste of time and cost, but also unnecessary loss. "

In order to improve the comprehensive quality of products and reduce waste, pincroft purchased its vacclean coil cleaning system in 2016. "We have investigated many different solutions, and finally found that the most valuable one is miyiki products. After purchase and installation, we immediately saved production costs and improved quality. At present, 8 vacclean devices are running on our production line. "

"The benefits are still increasing," Kirkpatrick said. "Its equipment is small and compact, easy to use, clean, and easy to ship in the plant area, so we can ensure that these equipment can always provide us with the maximum benefits. Our cooperation with Mikey has always been very pleasant, and we are very satisfied with their products and service quality. " Vacclean can remove particles less than 2 microns from the double surface of coiled material with a width of up to 4 meters at a speed of more than 2 meters per minute. Its shape is easy to maintain, and the shape of the vacuum header cleaning head is also easy to form a balanced vacuum on the surface of the coil. Only a few connecting pipes are needed, and a vacuum header cleaning head up to 4 meters long can be used.

"Its coil cleaning solution and electrostatic control system have been widely used in the field of packaging and paper products processing, and have been highly recognized," said Donald Lewis, business development manager of Mickey international. The textile dyeing and finishing industry is facing many of the same challenges in terms of product quality, but often does not understand the existing solutions to these challenges. We are very pleased to be able to help pincroft, a textile dyeing and finishing company, improve product quality for their customers and look forward to continuing cooperation with them in the future. "
