Characteristics and Technology

Loop Steamer MODUS

The new Loop Steamer with the pioneering THERMOCURE technology for your textile prints, developed by ZIMMER AUSTRIA. This steamer for printed textiles has been designed to facilitate the fixation of dyes in a continuous process onto any printed fabric, in single web or double strand operation. This MODUS Loop Steamer enables to obtain excellent quality of finishing results in brilliant colors while saving a lot of energy.

 

The Modus Loop Steamer renders the following applications:

  • Saturated steam modus (102°C to 105°C)
  • Superheated steam modus (160°C to 180°C)
  • Hot air polymerizing modus (160°C to 180°C)

 

The tensionless Loop formation device comes with either stainless steel or special surface transportation rods and is computer controlled for automatic loop length adjustment from 500 mm to 2800 mm. The daily use is simplified thanks to the computerized touchscreen control system, which detects any possible deviation of data and adjust it accordingly. Additionally, large hatches and the walkable inside floor allow convenient maintenance.

 

Simple handling, low noise level, easy maintenance and highly efficient steam consumption are additional important advantages of the Loop Steamer MODUS.
