Denim manufacturer Indigo Textile has been able to significantly increase production with a Power-Frame stenter from Brückner. The stenter with horizontal clip chain and direct gas heating has a very high drying capacity and low energy consumption. The split-flow principle provides an optimal air distribution and Venturi nozzles ensure the uniform mixing of ambient and circulating air for a very good temperature uniformity. At Indigo Textile Pvt Ltd., Karatschi/Pakistan, a J-Box in the inlet and outlet of the line ensures continuous operation even during batch changes.
To enlarge their capacities further, Indigo Textile some years ago bought a Power-Frame stenter from Brückner Textile Technologies GmbH & Co. KG, Leonberg/Germany. According to Aamir Maqbool, Managing Director of Indigo Textile, the choice of a 12 chamber Brückner plant was made due to several factors including quality, reliability and the lower cost of production provided. Therefore, increased production requirements can be met with high flexibility in finishing.
Around 55% of the denim produced at Indigo is for Levi’s, and the rest for other brands such as H&M, Marks & Spencer, and Inditex. Indigo Textile was formed 2005 as a collaboration between 2 leading textile groups, Haji Khudabux Amir & Umer, one of the largest cotton trading groups in Pakistan in the textile sector, and Akhtar Textiles, the largest Pakistani suppliers of denim jeans to Levi’s. Indigo Textile has plans to invest in a state-of-the-art spinning mill that will allow them to have complete control over the supply chain with 80% of the demand for yarn being met in-house.
