AEI Installs 100% Electric Monforts Montex Stenter Line in France

AEI – Ateliers d’Ennoblissement d’Irigny has installed a new six-chamber Montex stenter line from Monforts that is 100% electrically powered, replacing a machine from the 1980s. The 3.2-metre working width line features extended inlet arms for processing fabrics from 70 cm wide and 15 to 1,000 gsm, and includes an integrated heat recovery system to reduce carbon emissions. The installation is part of a long-term energy efficiency plan that also included an electric transformer to replace the previously gas-powered system.
