Fong's invented this SOFTWIN Dyeing Machine to address color creases and edge curling and meet the specifications of finished fabrics. As a way out, our new machine has a unique design of inner plaiter and fabric chamber adapt to the smooth running of different kinds of fabrics.

Moreover, it has a larger loading capacity and low liquor ratio, saving energy and reducing consumption while improving efficiency, and it also provides simple design, easy operation, easy maintenance, and stable performance.

Textile Today: Kindly share about Bangladesh market prospects.

Kenneth K.W. Chu: Bangladesh market competition is high. Here after-sales service is key. We have a very strong after-sales service team with our Bangladesh agent Pacific Associates Ltd. Most importantly, we provide service at a lower cost.

 In addition, Fong's innovates to make the service more user-friendly and simplified. Combining all these aspects, we have a very good business in Bangladesh.

We have digitalized some of the functions of this machine so the customer can easily control it. Most importantly, 888 TWINAIR reduces energy consumption and providing higher productivity.

Textile Today: Kindly share Ecowin latest innovations.

Hawkins X. Q. Rao: We have launched CHTC FONG’S ECOWIN High Temperature Synthetic Fabric Dyeing Machine is newly designed Knitted polyester fabrics, especially products with high spandex content, are more and more favored by consumers because of their high added value and excellent wearing performance.

However, the dyeing process of this kind of fabric is difficult, and the surface of the fabric is sensitive, and it is easy to defect such as snagging, scratches, chicken claw marks, creases, etc., which puts forward higher quality requirements for dyeing equipment, combined with strict environmental protection requirements.

The major advantages are: high spray pressure & high fabric speed, single tube with double chamber design, unique nozzle & fabric delivery tube structure, high precision mirror fabric chamber, etc.

Kelvin L. H. Chung: GOLLER is committed to continuous research and development of new open-width wet finishing machines to achieve energy-saving and sustainable production in the textile industry.

In the ITMA ASIA, GOLLER exhibited the latest model of the ‘OXIDATOR MODUL’ washing compartment, which combines drum-type powerful spray cleaning and up and down rollers cleaning to achieve an excellent washing effect.

According to the comparative test, the washing efficiency of one unit of OXIDATOR MODUL is almost equivalent to a conventional up-and-down roller washing compartment with a fabric content of 2 x 19 meters.

Our customers can convert their ‘MODUL’ washing compartment to another version according to the ever-changing quality and handling requirements of new fabrics. This extends the life of the machine and increases the value of the machine's investment.
