The diversification of our production processes, in terms of both the types of fibre that we treat and for the flexibility and diversity of our plants, is without doubt at the basis of our success and constant development, which culminated in 2003 with the start-up of a second, highly-automated production unit that uses cutting-edge technology, for dyeing items in polyester.
DEPARTMENTS
Warehouses
With a storage capacity of over 1,000,000 kilograms, customers have totally free storage of their yarn at their disposal and can arrange for it to be dyed progressively according to their own requirements. A sophisticated information system supported by terminals with optical recognition means that all goods in stock, both dyed and undyed, can be identified and located in real time.
Production
New production plant at Villa Guardia
Our company is able to dye any type of yarn that is supplied on a dye cone, with maximum flexibility with regard to quantity. With 36 vertical and 8 horizontal autoclaves we can guarantee a treatment capacity that ranges from a few kilograms to over 1000 kilograms for each single dye bath.
Our average daily production is over 15 tons of yarn. All of our dyeing plants operate automatically, thanks to an innovative system which guarantees connection to and exchange of data with the instrumentation in our goods reception area, the correct dosage of auxiliary products and the dissolving of the dyestuffs.
Sophisticated control software ensures constant monitoring of all manufacturing and process parameters.
Our new production plant at Villa Guardia is a model of technology and innovation for our field: an anthropomorphic robot independently handles the packages of yarn throughout the stages of unravelling and loading into the dyeing baskets, following a continuous work cycle.
Our drying and packaging departments are equipped with dessicators of the SEMI-RAPID and RADIO FREQUENCY types, and are able to dry and recondition the various types of yarn.
Laboratory
With the support of the most modern instruments in our goods reception and testing areas, our Research and Development Unit carries out all the tests that are required for accurate dyeing repeatability.
The Quality Control Laboratory ensures that each production batch is monitored, that colours are checked on specific equipment as well as visually, and that appropriate technological tests are carried out.
FILTEX COMO srl's dyeing heritage is classified into over 60,000 receipts that have been carefully codified and conserved in both traditional paper and electronic format.
Auxiliary System
The water softening plants allow the water used to be adequately decanted before being used in the dyeing department.
The use of natural gas to fuel the central heating plants ensures that the strictest ecological and environmental regulations are respected.
Refluent water from boiling-off, dyeing and finishing processes, before being conveyed to special consortium-owned purification plants, is treated in special mixing plants and undergoes systematic sampling in order to ascertain its quality.
QUALITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS
The quality standard employed for our processes is backed up by a quality system that complies with the Iso 9001 international standard.
Certificate ISO 9001:2000 Certitex
Certificate ISO 9001:2000 IQNet
Sensitive to ecological, environmental, ethical and social issues - yet another guarantee of the quality of our processes - since 2003 we have adhered to production process certification, and have taken our place in the register of qualified Seri.co suppliers: a quality brand in the Italian silk industry.
