BW Converting will showcase the capabilities of its Baldwin TexCoat® G4 precision spray finishing system to textile manufacturers at the 33rd Apparel Sourcing Show, scheduled for Aug. 18–20 at the Tikal Futura Convention Center in Guatemala City.
BW Converting will participate through its local agent, Maprimaq, at booths 25 and 26. The company will highlight how TexCoat G4 technology can support textile mills in improving finishing productivity while managing water, chemistry and energy consumption.
Apparel Sourcing Show Connects the Central American Textile Supply Chain
The Apparel Sourcing Show is the only trade show in Central America dedicated specifically to the apparel and textile industry in the DR-CAFTA region. The event brings together the region’s complete supply chain, including yarn, textiles, inputs, machinery and specialized services.
The exhibition provides a forum for manufacturers seeking ways to strengthen productivity and competitiveness.
“Textile producers throughout Central America are facing the same challenge we see across the global market: They need to increase output and maintain high finishing standards while gaining tighter control over water, energy and chemistry costs,” said Rick Stanford, Vice President of Global Business Development, Textiles, BW Converting. “TexCoat G4 gives mills a practical way to address those priorities by increasing the productivity of an existing finishing line rather than requiring a major expansion of production capacity.”
TexCoat G4 Uses Precision Spray Technology
The TexCoat G4 uses non-contact precision spray technology to apply a controlled and uniform amount of chemistry to one or both sides of the fabric.
The system can reduce wet pick-up by up to 50 percent compared with conventional finishing methods. The lower moisture load can also decrease water consumption and reduce the energy required for drying by as much as 50 percent.
The system recycles chemistry during fabric and chemical changeovers, supporting zero chemical waste from the changeover process. Automated cleaning routines, rapid job changeovers and recipe control are designed to support production uptime while improving consistency and traceability.
Zaman Textile Mills Reports Higher Production
Results reported by Zaman Textile Mills in Pakistan demonstrate the technology’s reported impact in a production environment.
“Compared with machines not equipped with TexCoat G4, we have achieved 30 percent more production with the system’s aerosol spray technology,” said Atif Siddiqui, Technical Director, Zaman Textile Mills. “Chemical usage has also decreased by up to 50 percent compared to our earlier methods. Compared with the conventional method, TexCoat G4 improves the hand feel of the fabric and the overall quality of the finished product.”
Zaman also reported that the system maintained consistent precision across the full fabric width during long production runs. The reduced quantity of finishing solution applied to the fabric allowed the mill to increase machine speed and production output while lowering utility and chemical costs.
Designed for Existing Finishing Equipment
TexCoat G4 is designed to integrate with existing textile finishing equipment, providing mills with a pathway to increase output without necessarily adding another complete finishing line.
Its non-contact application process also avoids bath contamination and chemical dilution in wet-on-wet applications, helping manufacturers achieve more repeatable finishing results across production runs.
Visitors to booths 25 and 26 can meet Maprimaq representatives to learn more about how Baldwin TexCoat G4 can support textile finishing operations focused on productivity, process control and resource efficiency.
