The new BRIO®24 matches the patented technology of BRIO® with the production capacity and the convenience of a continuous open-width process, offering the production volume of an efficient tensionless drying, shrinking and relaxing machine together with stability levels that were once reachable only with drum tumblers.

A conveyor belt at fabric inlet guides the fabric into the first section of BRIO®24, where it is pre-dryed to optimal humidity levels, after which the shrinking and drying stage begins, with a series of alternating passages between the vibrating trays and the special patented spreading and drying devices.

Inside the trays the fabric receives an homogeneously distributed relaxing and shrinking action, and then it passes through the spreading and drying devices where it is opened and repositioned exclusively by means of hot air flows which at the same time progressively dry it.

Each section of BRIO®24 has independent heating controls, allowing to set the optimal temperature in increasing steps throughout the process, and a laser detection system (patented) which – determining the amount of fabric inside each tray – automatically controls the accumulation and flow of fabric from each section to the following one.

The final stage consists in a cooling section, followed by a conveyor belt which brings the fabric without tension to the plaiting device.

The user interface of BRIO®24 is designed to offer the maximum ease of use, and allows to control and organize all working parameters into recipes, which can be recalled at any time at the touch of a fingertip. Simple and easy to learn, BRIO®24 allows to monitor in real time all the machine parameters, ensuring smooth operation and continuous uniformity of the treatment.

Remote and local monitoring, together with advanced statistics complete the functionality of the machine.

The design of BRIO®24 is aimed to provide the highest performances in terms of relaxation and productivity, with a very low energy consumption in complete flexibility.

The production capacity of the machine can match any requirements, as the modular design allows to vary the number of modules, leaving plenty of room for growth, as the system can be expanded in a second moment, when a higher production capacity is required.

BRIO®24 is specifically designed for relax-drying and stabilizing any kind of knitted fabric, in any composition and weight, both in tubular and open form, ensuring the highest degree of shrinkage and permanent stability, with a soft hand and increased volume, in a completely safe and tensionless continuous process.

DESIGNED FOR KNITS

OUTSTANDING RESULTS

TEXTILE MACHINERY

brio®24 shrinking to a new dimension

An extensive number of tests shows the efficiency of BRIO®24 treatment for the dimensional stabilization of knits to be as good as its discontinuous version: shrinkage values up to 20% with constantly near-zero residuals after washing, reduction of residual spirality in tubular knits, increased volume and bulkiness, and a nice soft hand.

All results are always obtained in a completely safe and tensionless process, which also ensures absence of pilling or imperfections whatsoever.

The following table shows some examples of the results that were obtained with BRIO®24:
