Benninger has launched its JigMaster, a cutting-edge jigger designed for discontinuous fabric dyeing, ideal for delicate materials. This innovative system, developed in Switzerland and produced at Benninger's facility in Pune, India, aims to enhance textile dyeing processes while minimizing environmental impact.
Swisstulle, a leader in European bobbinet tulle and technical knitted fabrics, has adopted the JigMaster to optimize its dyeing and finishing operations. With over a century of experience, Swisstulle focuses on sustainability and high quality, supplying textiles to various sectors, including fashion and automotive.
Achim Brugger, CEO of Swisstulle, emphasized the JigMaster's significance in enhancing efficiency and sustainability for the company. The machine incorporates TwinJig technology, which utilizes two independent troughs, enabling water savings of up to 35 per cent during rinsing. Additionally, its counterflow rinsing system further minimizes water and steam consumption, effectively addressing the textile industry's increasing focus on sustainability.
The machine also ensures precise control over speed and tension, critical for Swisstulle's fine fabrics, while fast heating gradients enhance production efficiency. With its plug-and-play capability, the JigMaster integrates seamlessly into existing workflows, minimizing downtime.
The collaboration between Swisstulle and Benninger underscores a shared dedication to innovation and ecological responsibility. By incorporating the JigMaster, Swisstulle strengthens its position as a forward-thinking manufacturer, committed to producing high-performance fabrics sustainably.
