Welker - Condimat Conditioners

UNIPHASE – The standard conditioner	MULTIPHASE – The World Class conditioner
The UNIPHASE systems are the heavy duty and high performance standard conditioners for yarn conditioning at temperature levels between 50 – 95°C. The gentle treatment of the yarn enhances smooth processes for waxed yarns up to 65° C. The simple but robust design provides good saturation inside the autoclave and excellent conditioning results. The fully automatic hydraulic door system enhances safe and efficient operation.	The MULTIPHASE type incorporates the world class technology of WELKER with excellent energy saving and high moisture gain. The cycle times are optimised at max. 45 minutes with one vacuum cycle, thus reducing process- and energy costs by up to 50% compared to conventional conditioners and steamers. The FINISHING WATER SPRAY and AUTO-CLEAN function are standard in this machine. The temperature range is increased up to 105°C.

The real production of a machine is determined by the package type, package weight and the type of carrier. Therefore, the machine production can vary substantially from one case to the other.

OPTIONAL MULTIPHASE PROCESS

HIGH VACUUM means deep penetration of saturated steam into yarn packages for optimal moisture regain. In a clean autoclave, the vacuum system cares for HIGH VACUUM of up to 95%.

The ECO- SYSTEM water heater is placed outside the autoclave for safety reasons and better energy and temperature control. At the end of the process, the FINISHING SPRAY adds additional moisture to the yarn. This system is an exclusive device of WELKER and increases the moisturising effect by application of a fine saturated water spray at the end of each cycle.

As final step, the AUTO- CLEAN device takes all the condensed water, residual fibres and dust out of the autoclave. The machine is ready for the next process with a completely clean autoclave.

HIGH VACUUM

The vacuum system can be programmed for one or more vacuum cycles, according to plant needs and the specific process.

INTELLIGENT CONTROL

All WELKER systems are equipped with overheating protection systems and fully automatic DOSITRON 18 programmable SPC control with digital data logger and visualisation of both process and production status.

The touch- screen based IPS – Intelligent Programming System helps the operator to programme the machine and continuously informs the actual status of production. The data can be transferred to a PC via a flash card.

AUTODOFFER

The standard platform C is designed for manual loading with pin trucks or half pallets. An automatic AUTODOFFER for pin trucks, pallets or boxes is the most common form of automation. Other solutions with roller conveyors (System RT) or the double door tunnel type (System RTT) are available. On request, we are pleased to offer the complete PACKTRACK line comprising conveyor, scale and stretch- wrapping machines.

STEEL TYPES

STANDARD is a H II steel vacuum vessel with WELKODUR coating and a conditioning chamber made of stainless steel, which is preferred because of the price/ performance ratio. INOX is a vacuum vessel entirely made of stainless steel, without a separate conditioning chamber.
