GVA - The benefits at a glance The GVA Heatsetting machine offers proven reliability, flexibility and productivity in continuous heatsetting. It utilizes superheated steam with the full capacity of heatsetting natural or synthetic fibers. The six channel configuration provides unmatched versatility for the customer. The GVA essentially provides six machines in one energy efficient package. Not only is the GVA a perfect solution for running high volumes of uniform production efficiently, but the GVA also provides the flexibility to run six individual lot sizes whilst offering the ability to process frieze or straight yarn on any position. For processing acrylic yarns, a special version of the machine using material with increased GVA resistancy to corrosion is available on request. Our new modular system of GVAs gives our customers the possibility to choose the machine Multi channel machine that meets their individual demands: GVA 4.0+ The economic model Efficient production combined with low investment. Production up to 8 tons per day. GVA 5.0+ The standard model Decades of global experience combined with modern design and functionality. Production up to 12 tons per day. GVA 8.0+ The maximum production model Highest level of daily production on the market combined with next generation technology . Production up to 17 tons per day.

HiPerSet - The benefits at a glance The HiPerSet is our single-belt solution. A special air guide system provides a constant thermal environment in the complete processing station. With the removal of obstructions to airflow, a high volume of climate circulation is achieved with relatively high compression allowing yarn to be heated quickly and thoroughly to the required heatset temperature. The HiPerSet offers easy maintenance and operation. On the HiPerSet all kinds of yarn can be processed. Due to the modular system every customer can choose his ideal machine. It utilizes superheated steam with the full capacity of heatsetting natural or synthetic fibers. HiPerSet Single channel machine HiPerSet 2.5+ The perfect start up model For heatsetting up to 60 ends. Production up to 6 tons per day.
