ALL ABOUT CLEANING WITHOUT PERCHLOROETHYLENE – IN ONE WORKSHOP!

TEXKEPRO technologists conducted a comparative analysis of alternative solvents that have appeared in the current century, both those that have not passed the test of time (Rynex, etc.) and those that are used today (Sensene, Intense, K4, etc.). The pros and cons of modern alternative solvents (detergent characteristics, water separation, cycle time, consumption, cost, etc.), as well as ways to improve the washing capacity of each solvent.

It should be noted that TEXKEPRO experts recommend the K4 system as an alternative to perchlorate, but they always emphasize that the company's long-term partner The German KREISLER plant supplies chemicals and technologies compatible with all alternatives used today, and therefore TEXKEPRO technologists are able to optimize any production, regardless of the chemical cleaning solvent used.

We also discussed the features of machines running on perchloroethylene and alternative solvents, their differences, as well as the maintenance features of multi-solvent class dry cleaning machines. The Realstar K4 machine processed batches of products of various ranges, from leather and fur to textile. Once again, it was possible to make sure that the solvent SOLVONK4 DOESN'T SMELL THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO. It has a peculiar odor that is practically not felt in the work area and is somewhat felt on the products in the first moments after they are removed from the machine. This smell decreases significantly after a light shaking of the thing. If there is a "heavy" smell of solvent on the products, this almost certainly indicates improper use and maintenance of the machine and unadapted processing programs. Proper care of the dry cleaning machine and solvent is a necessary component of the quality and comfort of work.

And, of course, an effective alternative to cleaning in organic solvents is an aquachist, which was invented by the companies KROISLER AND MILE. This technology is constantly being improved, and due attention has also been paid to the latest innovations and technological secrets. The seminar ended with the traditional question–and-answer blitz. Each participant received a package with printed products, including, in particular, service notes. dry cleaning equipment and the use of various chemicals for dry cleaners and laundries, as well as product samples The KREISLER chemical factory.

TEXKEPRO plans to devote the next seminar to the specifics of receiving outerwear (in particular, determining the presence of a membrane), as well as options for the safe treatment of such products in aquachist and dry cleaning. Information about subsequent seminars and an appointment for them is available on the website. You can apply for participation by email.
