Flexible approach
Wool milling and scouring
Biancalani IDRA, the state-of-the-art solution for flexible washing and milling of any type of woollen fabric.
Here’s IDRA
IDRA is the state-of-the-art solution for flexible combined washing and milling of any type of woollen fabric. Born from the tradition of quality and the expertise of Biancalani, IDRA overcomes the typical milling hurdles in woollen fabrics, such as overall variable lengths and the natural, uneven reaction of the fabric to the treatment itself. Each milling channel can be loaded with a different type of fabric, and by monitoring in real-time the shrinkage level, it will automatically stop when its milling cycle is completed.
Safety and optimisation
For each cylinder, the air-jet which repositions the fabric, the grooved covering in synthetic rubber which guides the fabric into the milling boxes, and the automatic optimization of the individually applied power which prevents from micro slippages, ensure efficiency and complete safety of the process. The programming of the pressure levels and the lightening of the upper cylinder, as well as the independent regulation of the adapter pressure of each individual milling box, allow for excellent customization of treatments and perfect repeatability over time.
Flexibility and ease of maintenance
Users can set specific milling cycles for every type of fabric loaded, and obtain a superior qualitative result: within the same colour range, the automatic process will optimize different lengths of fabric in varying composition and weight. The systems also allows for maintenance intervention in individual channels, ensuring production continuity in the others.
Applications and processes
IDRA can be used to obtain perfect washing and milling results on any kind of woollen and wool-blended fabric, in weights ranging from 100 to 1200 grams per metre, woven and knitted, carded and combed, for a really wide range of applications, from men's and women's apparel, to automotive, home textile, and special-purpose materials (billiards table cloth, tennis balls…).
