An innovative ultrasound solution, jointly developed by Weber Ultrasonics and Geratex Machinery Pvt. Ltd., enables a significant reduction in the volume of chemicals, water and energy required during treatment – while delivering better results in less time. This not only makes textile treatment more cost-efficient, it’s also more sustainable and saves resources.
Geratex Machinery Pvt. Ltd already put over 20 textile treatment machines in operation equipped with ultrasound technology in Europe, Asia, the USA and South America.

LET'S TALK ABOUT SUSTAINABILITY
Ultrasound also boosts the cleaning power of the water used during washes in between the various treatments. As well as using around a third less textile auxiliaries and water, this results in a shorter wash time. Thanks to the adjusted cavitation energy, textiles can also be treated at significantly lower temperatures – at just 60°C instead of the normal 90°C to 95°C. The resulting energy savings – up to 50 percent – play a key role in reducing operating costs and conserving resources, as well as lowering CO2 emissions.
Another aspect is that sustainable textile treatment is becoming an increasingly crucial requirement in the purchasing decisions of fabric buyers.
