Autoclave for textile industy LAGARDE

Textile Industry
The original historical sector that LAGARDE® specialised
in and made its reputation Steaming standard autoclaves
of diameters between & 1300 and 1600 and a length adapted to your requirements
Other possibilities created upon specificities

Various applications
- Thermo-fixing of twisted yarns;
- Retraction of synthetic fibres ;
- Preservation of the shape of hosiery items;
- Preservation of dyes and printed designs- Humidity control and moisture recovery
- Two principals of steaming depending on goals researched

Classic steaming process
After an initial vacuum to vent the air excess present in the chamber and to aide the penetration of the steam in the textile material, a direct injection of steam allows the steaming of the textiles in an atmosphere saturated steam.
Steam injection is controlled along with the programmed temperature settings. During the temperature come-up time, an internal exchanger allows the steam to be heated and limits the production of condensation.
Intermediate vacuums to accelerate the penetration of the steam can be programmed. After the steaming, a final vacuum allows the textiles to be cooled and eliminates any excess humidity.

This principal can be used for all textile fibres: natural, artificial, synthetic and mixed.
Steaming process with moisture recovery
After an initial vacuum to vent the air excess present in the chamber and to aide the penetration of the steam in the textile material, a volume of water stored in the bottom of the autoclave is heated by “BUBBLING” or by electrical heaters.
