SINGEING MACHINE
|
|
Introduction |
Although fabric singeing is well known and long established process
it's relevance today to the modern finisher is greater than ever.
The constant demand for higher quality fabrics, particularly blend
fabrics with their susceptibility to pilling, has focused more attention
on singeing machines and the processes and ancillary equipment which
surround them.
Gayatri Industrial Engineer have more than 15 years experience in manufacturing and
development of different models suitable for different fabrics apart from this we have also manufacturing and supplied singing machine suitable for synthetic fabric. Model GIEX 2004 unit is the latest
in along line of well proven machine.
Installed in finishing factors throughout India, Gayatri machines
are processing all types of fabrics from lightweight voiles right through
to heavyweight denim. These fabrics contain a wide variety of fabrics
including cotton, polyester, viscose, wool, linen and blends of these
and other fabrics.

Singe Ranges
|
To maximize process efficiency the majority of singe ranges now include
wet process units following the singe unit. These units can be used for pad
batch enzyme or oxidative desize processes. For soluble sizes, washing
compartments can be included after the singe unit and if required the wash
units can be followed by an impregnation.
The Gayatri wet process units are of robust, efficient design and
impregnation units with various fabric capacities can be supplied. These
ranges from 12-28 meters for single threaded units up to 12-50 metes for
double threaded units. All are made from stainless steel with top and bottom
rollers carried in large diameter bearings.
Ranges can be supplied complete with chemical feed systems and the main
drive system can be by DC motors with AC/DC solid state converters or
standard AC motors with variable frequency AC control.
All components of the range are manufactured by Gayatri giving the
customer the benefit of "One Supplier One Responsibility".

Uniformity and Efficiency
|
The heart of any singeing machine is the burners. Gayatri machine use
two direct flame burners with a live flame impinging directly onto the fabric
surface. This is the most efficient method as well as the most economical in
terms of fuel consumption.
The specially developed burner bodies with their carefully designed
internal construction guarantees absolute uniformity of the singeing flame
across the full width of the machine. This has been proven for all flame
widths up to 3.2 meters on special purpose singe units. The twin crossed
flame arrangement of each burner also ensures uniformity of treatment to
the fabric. Each burner has manual controls to match the width of the flame
to the width of fabric being processed, so that energy is not wasted outside
the fabric width. Although the including blends can therefore be efficiently
singed. Majority of machine are supplied for gas firing, petrol(gasoline)
fired machine can also be supplied.

Versatility
|
Natural and synthetic fibers react different to singeing. Synthetic fibers
only burn at temperatures in excess of their melting point.
The high thermal energy of the burner flames, which can reach temperatures
up to 1300°C, is sufficient to rapidly heat synthetic fibers to their melting
point. The problem of beading caused by fiber melting on synthetic or fabric
is therefore minimized.
Air injector pipes are fitted to each singe surface with the air flow
being fully adjustable from zero to maximum. The action of the air flowing
around the singe surface aids complete combustion of synthetic fibers and
helps to remove debris from the fabric surface.
All types of natural and synthetic fabric including blends can therefore
be efficiently processed.

|
Adaptability
|
The Burner can be shifted in such way that for heavy weight fabric it can
reach very near to fabric surface about 15 mm so that natural fabrics can be
singed efficiently & perfectly.
For light weight fabrics or those that are particularly sensitive to heat
the burner can be shifted away 25 to 35 mm and light weight fabric can be
singed easily.

Bag Collection System
|
Designed to collect dry dust and debris from a brushing or beating unit
installed before a Singe unit, different capacities are available with 4 or
6 cotton bags of various lengths. The bags are easily emptied via a draw cord
in the bottom.
|
|
Brushing and Beating Machine
|
For efficient singeing to be achieved, brushing and/or
beating is an important part of the process. Gayatri supply
either 2 or 4 roll brushing or beating units; the 4 roll
unit can be supplied as a combination unit.
Brushes or beaters are placed on both sides of the
fabric and a mechanism is provided so that fabric contact
can be easily varied from zero to maximum contact. The
brushes are formed with a special chevron pattern to give
a degree of fabric opening and are made from natural
fabric to prevent melting of the brush tips, which can
occur with synthetic brushes. Internal ducting is
connected to an integral high power fan to give efficient
dust extraction from the unit.
|
|
Ancillary Equipment
|
These tanks are designed to remove dust and debris
from the air leaving the Singe unit or Beater units when
installed after a Singe. Internal water sprays ensure
that any sparks carried into the tank are quenched before
the exhaust air is discharged to atmosphere. The dust is
carried away by the waste water. This unit can be
provided on suggestion of the client while placing the
order.

|
Quality and Reliability
|
Machines are built to rigorous quality standards to
give long trouble free service, under the most demanding
running conditions. The stainless steel rollers,
adjacent to the burners are all water cooled, to prevent
heat distortion and to cool the fabric. Other rollers
have a special non stick coating to assist in cleaning.
Large access panels are built into the machine to assist
in maintenance.
|
|
Controllability
|
The mixture controllers automatically supply the
correct gas/air ratio for stochiometric adjust combustion
at all flame heights and are easy to when necessary. They
will provide a 10:1 turn down ratio for the burnerflame.
|
|
Safety Features
|
All machines are designed and built to the latest
standards for safety and other national standards can be
conformed to when required.
The operator controls are arranged in such a way
that the correct start up sequence must be followed
before the burners can be ignited.
A fast flame shut off system is used for the burners
so that the flame is instantly extinguished when the
machine is stopped.
