TUBETEX - A NAVIS-OWNED BRAND
Dimensional stability.
Fabric quality delivered.
TubeTex technologies help knit finishers control shrinkage, improve fabric hand and produce consistent material through engineered compacting and finishing systems.
Up to 80 m/min
Production capability on selected configurations
Two overfeed points
Engineered control where the process needs it
Navis lifecycle support
Installation, service, parts and modernization
Brand purpose
Turn variable knit fabric into a predictable finished product.
Knit fabrics respond to tension, heat, moisture and mechanical handling. TubeTex equipment manages those variables to deliver dimensional stability, appearance and hand.
The approach treats fabric entry, spreading, moisture, overfeed, compression, cooling and final presentation as one connected process.
Technology families
Finishing systems designed around the fabric.
Configurations are selected by fabric construction, width, production goal and required result.
01
Tubular compacting
Engineered shrinkage control, overfeed and finishing for tubular knit fabrics.
02
Open-width compacting
Dimensional stability and fabric quality for open-width knit constructions.
Customer outcomes
Control the dimensions. Protect the value.
The goal is a stable finished product that performs consistently for the mill and its customers.
Residual shrinkage control
Consistent fabric dimensions
Improved fabric hand
High production capability
Reliable repeatability
Lower total cost of ownership
Featured solution
TubeTex Pak-Nit
High-performance tubular compacting.
The Pak-Nit applies controlled overfeed and mechanical compaction to help finishers achieve low residual shrinkage at production speed while protecting fabric quality.
- Maximum overfeeding at two locations
- Less than 1% residual shrinkage on appropriate fabrics
- Production speeds up to 80 meters per minute
- Configured around fabric and process requirements
