Biancalani presents AQUARIA® advanced water management drive system

Biancalani introduces AQUARIA®, a patented continuous open-width washing system that sets new standards in sustainable wet finishing. The innovation combines air transport technology, precise water management, and Industry 5.0 connectivity for higher efficiency and consistent fabric quality.

Smart air-powered washing

Unlike conventional washing, AQUARIA® transports fabric using air and controlled cavitation energy. Two large accumulation chambers connected by a pneumatic ejector create an intensive yet gentle mechanical action that ensures uniform saturation, defect-free processing, and major resource savings.

Performance highlights

+++ Water consumption starting at 500 L, as low as 2–5 L/kg

+++ Eco-bleaching with < 1 L/kg discharge

+++ No harmful chemicals in many applications

+++ Widths up to 3,600 mm, speeds up to 80 m/min

+++ Industry 5.0 control with centralized monitoring and recipe storage

Versatile and efficient

AQUARIA® handles a wide range of fabrics – from silk and cotton to denim, lyocell, and synthetics – enabling treatments such as enzymatic bio-polishing, eco-bleaching (zero caustic, zero chlorine), indigo shade reduction (AQUASTONE), and relaxed mercerization.

Its modular design allows quick changeovers for applications in apparel, home textiles, and automotive fabrics.

Combining air-driven mechanics with advanced water circulation, AQUARIA® achieves measurable savings in water, energy, and chemicals, while maintaining top quality and productivity – a decisive step toward zero-discharge textile finishing.
