Humy Vap 48 · 100
Steam chamber for yarn moisture regain
HUMY VAP is Nuova Rimates' chamber for restoring yarn moisture with steam and heat. It quickly brings yarn packages back to the correct moisture content, for every type of yarn.
Yarn that is too dry harms every downstream process, through to knitting machines, narrow fabrics, circular machines and looms. Treating yarn with HUMY VAP improves finished-product quality and machine productivity.
Full control of the cycle
The touch-screen controller sets cycle time, relative humidity and temperature, and shows a real-time trend graph. A signal tower indicates processing, end of cycle and alarms.
Benefits
- Removes static electricity from the yarn
- Softer hand on fibres and finished linen, cashmere and wool garments
- Fewer yarn breaks and better finished-product quality
- Higher yarn strength and elongation
- Less dust
- Yarn weight regained
