AEI Installs All-Electric Monforts MONTEX Stenter to Cut Emissions and Modernize French Finishing
AEI invests in all-electric Monforts stenter
Executive Overview
French textile finisher AEI has installed a fully electric Monforts MONTEX six-chamber stenter line, replacing 1980s equipment to reduce carbon emissions and improve energy efficiency at its Lyon facility.
Manufacturing & Process Note
Electrifying stenter lines shifts energy cost exposure from gas to grid tariffs, making heat recovery and chamber insulation the primary levers for finishing yield and carbon compliance. The 70 cm minimum width and 15–1,000 gsm range demand precise tension control to avoid distortion across natural fiber and polyamide blends.
