Premier Fine Linens Installs Monfortex Sanforiser 8000

Coimbatore-based leading Indian producer of fine-quality cotton textiles, Premier Fine Linens, has installed a new Monforts Monfortex Sanforiser 8000 and a Thermex E-Control to better control the quality of its output. The machines, which have been installed at the fine linens mill in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, will handle widths of 3200 mm, besides weights of between 125 and 250 g/m², although heavier fabrics of up to 450 g/m² can also be handled.

Confirming the development, Premier Fine Linens Private Limited’s Vice President R Mathiyazhagan said, “All of our dyeing is done in-house, using organic dyes and low-impact chemicals. Monforts will also allow us to increase the innovations and product potential that we offer to our customers. We can offer better colour control and shrinkage”.

“We recover and process as well as re-circulate our waste water, using 99 % of our own supplies. For us, and for our customers, environmental protection alongside product quality sets our standards and we like to think this is a benchmark that few other producers can match,” he said.

The new installation will greatly enhance quality control of the products which are made from Egyptian cotton and superfine Indian cottons. Premier Fine Linens specialises 100 % in products made from very fine cotton yarn, which are for export only. The company uses 100 % cotton, organic cotton, Supima, Egyptian cotton and Supima Tencel blend. It is India’s largest importer of Egyptian cotton, and also uses the finest American cotton and superfine Indian cottons.

The company operates 375,000 spindles. Fabric production for its own in-house production and brands is 450,000 metres per month, with another 400,000 metres for contract weaving.
