How Interflon contributes to higher efficiency
Supporting new and old textile processing machinery to ensure your assets remain efficient and produce consistent results with a reduction in labour, machine and material waste.
The textile industry was the cornerstone of the Industrial Revolution, transforming weaving from inconsistent, manual work in homes to highly mechanized production in factory mills. Over time, the industry has continuously evolved, integrating advanced technologies to produce rolls of material efficiently, even in harsh environments, while maintaining cost-effectiveness.
At Interflon, we offer a range of proven products - supported by many successful case studies - that enhance the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) of textile machinery. Our solutions excel in challenging conditions, including exposure to water, extreme temperatures, unbalanced loads, and abrasive textile fibers.
From spinning and weaving to finishing processes, whether you’re producing technical textiles or food-compliant materials, we are your trusted lubrication partner. Together, we’ll develop cost-saving solutions tailored to your needs.
Some applications in the Textiles Industry
Better protection for your high temperature Tenter/Stenter chain
Stenter/Tenter oven chain is expensive and regularly removed every few years due to contamination from chemical additives in the treatment dip tank which dries hard and create a grinding paste, reducing the life of the chain and need for cleaning. Wet, conventional lubricant can attract abrasive textile fly which results in early failure and can struggle to penetrate to the pins and bushes where the main wear takes place. Wet lubricant can flash off too quickly and relies on re-application for lubrication.
Interflon Lube HT and Interflon Lube HT/SF can be applied both on cold and hot parts (solvent free). The capillary action of the MicPol® technology in Interflon products ensures that the lubricant gets to where it is needed. As the negatively charged and micronized MicPol® is attracted to the positively charged chain, the lubricant remains in place for longer. This requires less lubricant than conventional lubrication meaning less waste, less chance of contact with the material (dries clear if contact occurs) and longer maintenance intervals.
