SuccessStory at ETV Textilveredlung with weft-straightener SL smart from Pleva

Perfectly straightened fabrics and easy handling was the wish of ETV Textilveredlung when they were looking for a new weft-straightener. The German textile finishing company produces a variety of articles and qualities for different application areas (automotive, sportswear, building materials, protective clothing, home textiles, medicine, filtration).

With the SL smart, they have found the right solution, which convinces with the unique traversing camera technology and the intuitive operating concept.

Dirk Tunney, Managing Director is satisfied: „Very good straightening results have been achieved for all articles. Even in the case of very special fabric designs and structures, the stored recipes always deliver a good result. The positive experiences in the use and easy handling of the SL smart straightening machine (which is in use since 2021) have prompted us to install a new PLEVA high-tech straightening machine in March 2023."
