HORIZONTAL DRYERS

This machine was developed following an auspicious intuition in response to the practical need to improve the quality of finished leathers. This would be achieved by stretching them over a wire frame held in position with clips, where they would then stay, in a heated environment at a controlled temperature, for the time necessary to obtain a smoother, softer, and rounder hand.

This process also adds aesthetic value thanks to the possibility to flatten the grain and remove any defects and creasing caused by earlier processing.

This machine also allows the acquisition and consolidation of important surface gains (on average 1.5–1.8% on the finished product and 4–6% on the crust) and considerably improves the cutting yield on automatic machines.
