Technology developer Jeanologia and fashion group Inditex, both based in Spain, have presented their new Air Fiber Washer at industry trade event ITMA in Milan.

The machine is the first industrial air system of its kind, the partners said, built to extract as much as 60% of microfibres (particles less than 15 millimetres in length) during garment manufacture, using a combination of dynamic airflow and microfiltration technologies. Each system will have capacity to gather up to 325 kilograms of microfibre per year.
