NEOTEC ULTRASOUND

Research and development of advanced equipment for textile treatment using ultrasound technology

The Centre for the Development of Industrial Technology (CDTI), through the NEOTEC Programme, has awarded a grant of €250,000.00 to the technology-based innovative company ONDyTEC 2018 SL, with support from the Ministry of Science and Innovation. The objective of the CDTI NEOTEC Programme, a Public Business Entity attached to the Ministry of Science and Innovation, is to support the creation and consolidation of technology-based companies and to promote technology and innovation as key competitive factors for their development.
ONDyTEC has successfully adapted ultrasound technology to the washing process following digital printing and bleaching processes, achieving a significant reduction in resource consumption compared to conventional washing. This includes reductions in equipment size, the need for multiple high-temperature washing baths and chemical products, as well as lower energy consumption due to operation at reduced temperatures.
For the implementation of ultrasound technology, ONDyTEC carried out the design of the new machine and each of its subsystems in order to meet the defined technical objectives. As a result, ONDyTEC has developed a system capable of replacing conventional large-scale washing ranges. Furthermore, the use of ultrasound technology enables a more efficient washing process, requiring less space and delivering deep cleaning while being less aggressive to the textile substrate.
