MILLA

When experience meets technology

MILLA is the state of the art solution for the combined washing and milling for all kind of woollen fabric. Pure-wool or blended, carded or combed, woven or knitted: the MILLA is designed for optimal performances ensuring thorough and deep milling on heavy fabrics, and a safe action on lightweight articles, for perfect results, always.

Special rubber coating

The milling cylinders, covered with a layer of grooved synthetic rubber, contain grids that guide the fabric inside the milling box, making sure that lighter fabrics don’t get trapped in the crevices that divide the cylinder from the hinge.

PLC and touch screen display

Biancalani MILLA is completely controlled by a PLC, and interfaced with a touchscreen display, simple and immediate, while the inverter-driven motor guarantees the highest energy efficiency. An in-line (self-diagnostic system also allows users to constantly check the machine's operative state and to immediately identify any eventual intervention zone.

Applications and processes

MILLA can be used to obtain perfect washing and milling results on any type of woollen and wool-blended fabric, heavy fabrics, 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 clothing, to automotive, home textile, and special-purpose materials such as billiards table cloth.

Air-jet fabric repositioning

MILLA is equipped – at the exit point of each milling box – with the air-jet device that was originally patented and then successfully implemented by Biancalani over the years, which enables the fabric to open up, change position, and to relax completely before undergoing the stress from milling once again. This makes it possible to avoid the formation of creases and permanent strains while at the same time helping the milling action, and easing the processing of open-form fabric when needed.
