Tonello completes garment finishing offering with first dryers
Machinery manufacturer Tonello has launched its first range of dryers, designed and manufactured in-house at its facilities close to Vincenza, Italy.
This addition completes the garment treatment process, ensuring maximum efficiency, quality and sustainability, it said.
The new line includes eight models from sampling to large-scale. Each machine features a touchscreen display, a temperature sensor and an enlarged transparent door that makes process monitoring easy.
The models adapt to different operational needs, from the fixed version with a manual door for sampling to models with automatic tilting for unloading, as well as automated loading and unloading or double doors for workflow management.
The high-permeability drum speeds up drying, while the enhanced airflow reduces processing time and energy consumption. The inverter-controlled transmission, operated via the control panel, allows for customised recipes.
All models are 'heat pump ready', making them compatible with heat pump integration for improvements in energy efficiency and emissions reduction.
Optional solutions include ThermoShell, an advanced insulation system that enhances thermal efficiency, and SmartDry, a heat recovery system that achieves over 20% steam savings in medium- and large-production models, according to the company. The SmartDry option can also be retrofitted to Tonello dryers in their standard configuration.
