How to enhance performance and ROI through smarter processes

For fabric producers and commission finishers, achieving higher productivity while reducing environmental impact is the key to staying competitive. Biancalani’s advanced engineering solutions enable smarter fabric processing, using air and water more efficiently to save resources, cut costs, and enhance ROI.

Companies implementing these technologies are seeing measurable performance improvements and sustainable results for fabric preparation and finishing processes.

Two technologies that exemplify this transformation are AIRO®24, which harnesses high-speed air as a process medium, and AQUARIA®, a unique system that marks an innovative change in fabric washing.

AIRO®24: high-speed air processing for open-width drying, softening, and finishing

In modern finishing plants, productivity and fabric quality must evolve together. AIRO®24 demonstrates how advanced airflow technology can dramatically improve both.

The system processes fabric at speeds up to 2800 m/min, with an operational efficiency of up to 95%. Instead of traditional mechanical transport systems, the fabric is moved and treated exclusively through high-velocity air streams exceeding 160 km/h. This approach reduces mechanical stress while ensuring effective, uniform treatment of the textile.

Key technical features include:

• • Evaporation capacity: up to 1400 kg/h
• • Sustainability certification for AIRO®24: CLIMA, verified by an independent third-party RINA
• • Flexible configurations: from SINGLE to TRIPLEX, allowing adaptation to different production capacities
• • SMART-SWITCH 2.0 control system: enabling independent modulation of mechanical action and drying power
  
  

Beyond performance figures, AIRO® technology delivers a distinctive qualitative result widely recognized in the industry as the “AIRO® Hand.”

This unique, consistent, and premium fabric feel, which is soft, natural, and premium, has become a defining feature of fabrics processed with AIRO® systems. International brands seeking high-quality finishing know this effect well and increasingly consider it a benchmark for premium fabrics.

AQUARIA®: a new patented approach to continuous open-width fabric washing and wet treatments

Water consumption remains one of the most critical challenges in fabric finishing. Conventional washing processes typically require 20–30 liters of water per kilogram of fabric, creating both environmental and economic pressures.

AQUARIA® introduces a fundamentally different approach. By integrating the same patented AIRO® pneumatic transport technology, the system moves fabric exclusively through air, drastically reducing the amount of water required for effective washing.

Inside the machine, the fabric circulates between two large accumulation chambers connected by a pneumatic ejector, where controlled mechanical action ensures thorough washing while minimizing resource consumption.

The measurable results are significant:

• • Water consumption reduced by 80–90% compared to conventional systems
• • Eco-bleaching with near-zero discharges, requiring less than 1 L/kg
• • Complete elimination of harmful chemicals in many applications
• •Working widths up to 3600 mm
• • Sustainability certification for AQUARIA®: CLIMA, verified by an independent third-party RINA
• • High production speeds
  
  

By combining pneumatic fabric transport with intelligent process control, AQUARIA® enables washing and wet treatments that are both highly efficient and environmentally responsible.
