Gas Singeing Titbits

This document discusses singeing, which is a process that removes fuzz and loose fibers from fabric. It describes the appearance of fabric before and after singeing. It also discusses different singeing positions and how the flame interacts with the fabric depending on the position. The document provides ignition temperatures for different textile fibers. It includes charts showing types of fabrics and their weights. Finally, it describes the double-jet burner, which is the key component that generates the singeing flame in singeing machines.

Appearance of Fabric Before and After Singeing

Fabric before singeing Fabric after singeing


SINGEING POSITIONS WITH RELATION TO THE FABRIC

Onto free guided fabric


Flame meets right-angle onto dense woven fabric freely guided
between 2 rollers, recommended for natural fibres and blends
weighing more than 125g/m²

Onto water cooled roller


Flame meets right-angle onto the fabric bended over a water
cooled roller. Recommended for fabrics of temperature sensitive
fibres, those of open-weave, blended ones weighing less than
125g/m

Tangential singeing
Flame passes tangentially over the fabric bended over a water
cooled roller recommendable for fabrics which cannot tolerate
direct exposure to flame and for repair of filamentation

Flame shearing
Flame passes tangentially over the fabric bended over a
singeing sword, with minimized contact time, singeing effect on
fibre tip only

THE DOUBLE - JET BURNER
The heart of the Osthoff Singeing Machine
Osthoff-Senge use High Performance Double-Jet Burners in all machine types. Developed by ourselves,
and patented world-wide, it allows Osthoff-Senge to set high standards for the quality of the singeing
flame generated in the burner, which is the key function of the entire installation.

The essential features of the Double-Jet Burner include:


equal distribution of the mixture by means of a series of expansion and compression chambers.
uninterrupted flame band achieved by exit of the gas-air mixture from two parallel slot nozzles.
generation of a homogenous flame by ideal combustion of the gas-air mixture within the combustion
chambers formed of moulded ceramic bricks.
generation of a highly-concentrated, high energy flame: the prime requirement for singeing textile
materials of natural, regenerated and synthetic fibres.
These properties clearly distinguish the Double-Jet Burner from conventional burners, with respect to
reliability, precision, performance, capacity, and energy consumption.
