PT Rainbow Indah Carpet has invested in a COLARIS digital carpet print line from ZIMMER AUSTRIA. “Rainbow Carpet” is a leading carpet manufacturer in Indonesia, with capabilities of tufted broadloom carpets, PVC carpet tiles, Axminster, and CHROMOJET printed carpets.
After the successful installation of a CHROMOJET printer and a ZIMMER PVC carpet tile back coating line, Rainbow Carpet put a COLARIS carpet print line into operation recently. With this latest installation, we have added the possibility to produce high-resolution digitally printed carpets, rugs and tiles from PA tufted base material, claims Mr. Bhagwan Bharwani, General Manager of Rainbow Carpet.
The strength of PT Rainbow Indah Carpet is the supply of high-end carpet solutions for the residential, office, in-store and hospitality segment. Their mission is to provide a valuable service to the high-end flooring segment with utmost flexibility. Offering quality products with tremendous saving needs a flexible and economic setup.
Evaluating various options for an economic solution for their expansion plan has let them to invest in a COLARIS digital carpet print line. Best value for money and the technology offered were the key points to place the order with ZIMMER AUSTRIA, says Mr. Bhagwan Bharwani.
What makes this installation unique?
• Most compact and cost-efficient print line in 4200 mm width in the market
• Production capacity of up to 720 m²/h
• Compact print line with a total length of approx. 35m incl. loop steamer with fixation booster system for wash-free production – washing on demand only
• Ready for coated and uncoated carpet
• Pile weight range from 200 g/m² loop-pile to 1500 g/m² heat-set contract cut-pile
For the ambitious targets of Rainbow Indah Carpet, with the required flexibility and economic set-up, ZIMMER AUSTRIA was additionally challenged by limited space available for the installation.
To keep the line short, we installed a vertical steamer with about 15 m content and integrated a Fixation booster system. This gives the best fixation in a very compact form. The line layout with unrolling, accumulator, center guiding, carpet pre-conditioner, COLARIS printer, loop steamer with fixation booster system, spray washer and vacuum, foam applicator, horizontal dryer, followed by an accumulator and final roll-up system has convinced the customer to solve all his needs at the most cost-efficient layout.
