In a recent VDMA webinar, German textile machinery leaders Monforts, Archroma, and BW Converting showcased major advancements in energy- and resource-efficient finishing and dyeing technologies aimed at reducing water and power consumption in textile processing.
A highlight was BW Converting’s Baldwin TexCoat G4 precision spray system, developed in collaboration with Archroma and Monforts. This technology replaces traditional water-intensive padding or exhaust finishing methods with precision spray application—reducing water use by over half, speeding up drying, and achieving production rates up to 100 metres per minute. The system has already delivered impressive results in Pakistan, where mills reported pickup rates dropping from 65% to 27%, lower energy use, and higher productivity.
Monforts further enhances sustainability with its MONTEX stenters, featuring TwinAir and TwinTherm systems, CADstreamE nozzles, and advanced insulation—optimizing energy use and production speed. Additional modules such as EcoApplicator, Energy Tower, and EcoBooster support heat recovery and low-energy finishing, while the company is also exploring green hydrogen for future operations.
Building on the success of TexCoat G4, the partners will launch Baldwin TexChroma, a new spray dyeing system, at ITMA Asia + CITME 2025 in Singapore (Hall 3, Stand A301). Integrated with Monforts THERMEX continuous dyeing lines, TexChroma promises significant savings in dye liquor, time, and energy, marking a new phase in sustainable textile processing.
