ELMAT Process Control for Tenters and Dryers

About Erhardt+Leimer

ELMAT is an integrated process control and visualization for tenter guiders and dryers. United in one device ELMAT combines low residual moisture control, exhaust moisture control, thermosetting control and fabric temperature display at the output end. ELMAT offers end customers an ideal solution for retrofitting existing drying machines. It is also of course ideal for mechanical engineers who want to avoid programming complex visualizations and controls themselves.

Function

System for controlling the complete finishing process for fabrics made of natural and synthetic fibres

Fabric temperature measurement in the individual areas (min. 4, max. 8) and automatic control of dwell time, in order to achieve correct thermofixing (polymerization)
Measurement of the residual moisture in the fabric and automatic control of the machine speed, in order to achieve correct drying
Fabric temperature measurement in the individual areas (min. 4, max. 8) and automatic machine speed regulation with regard to the fabric temperature in the last area
Absolute air humidity measurement and automatic exhauster speed control in order to keep the process constant
