    The document discusses the horizontal padding mangle method for applying foam to textiles. Foam can be applied to one or both sides of fabric using various mechanisms. The horizontal padder allows foam to be applied to both sides of vertically-running fabric using rollers. The foam collapses at the nip, ensuring uniform application. This method has advantages like applying foam to both sides easily with low investment costs and better wetting for thick fabrics. However, controlling foam levels and density can be difficult, and tailing or uneven dyeing may occur.

    Foam Application With Horizontal Padding Mangle

    There are several basic mechanisms for the application of foam to textiles. The foam can be applied
    either to one side or both sides of the fabric. In the former case a doctor blade or knife, or a doctor
    roller, or pressure or suction can be used, and for two-sided applications a horizontal padder or a pair
    of transfer or kiss rollers can be used.

    Horizontal Padding Mangle:


    The pad mangle, which is in operation in almost every textile mill, was one of the first machines used
    for foam application. The treatment of a fabric with foam on a horizontal padder is illustrated in the
    figure.
    In the horizontal padder the foam is applied to both sides of the fabric which runs vertically through
    the foam contained in the nip of the padder. The foam collapses at the nip of the padder, ensuring a
    uniform application of liquor. In this particular technique foam stability is an important parameter.
    Unstable foam will form an excessive amount of liquor in the nip, resulting in an uneven application,
    whereas more stable foam will tend not to
    collapse in the nip by the action of the pad
    rollers. The wet pickup of the fabric is
    controlled by the foam density and the nip
    pressure. Generally, the horizontal padder is
    used to apply foam to woven fabric. The main
    advantage of the horizontal pad system is that
    a conventional padder can be easily converted
    into a foam padder with very little capital
    investment.

    Advantages of Horizontal Padding Mangle:
    ▪ Easy application method.
    ▪ Foam can be applied on both sides of fabric.
    ▪ Show better result in case of less absorbent thick fabrics.
    ▪ Better wetting power.
    ▪ Better foam decay due to heavy pressure.
    ▪ Lower investment cost.

    Disadvantages of Horizontal Padding Mangle:


    ▪ Due to foam rigidity and poor flow property it is difficult to control the level in the mangle.
    ▪ While the foam is stored for a long time then foam collapse and diluted the remaining foam that
    will lead light dyeing than that of earlier.
    ▪ Despite of low foam density and the use of manage bowl pressure liquor pack up percentage is
    not more than 80 while conventional liquor pick up is 100%.
    ▪ Only suitable for woven fabric.
    ▪ Tailing or ending effect occurs.
