GREENFINISH SAMPLE is the very low environmental impact solution for the finishing of corrected grain and full grain leathers samples with a release paper system.
The line, 15 m long and with a speed of 1-2 m/min, was designed for tanneries that already have a GREENFINISH line whose production has not been interrupted and who want optimize sample production times.
GREENFINISH SAMPLE, specially designed for this purpose, has small dimensions and works in line, creating samples whose finishing is identical to the leathers of the main production plant. The in-line finishing is possible thanks to the GREENSTARs roller coater, to the special lamps, mounted on the conveyor connecting to the KISSPRESS, which takes care of the drying of the leathers and, finally, thanks to the low operating speed that guarantees an adequate drying time.

The line combines efficiency and eco-sustainability aspects:
- combine efficient and ecological performance;
- it creates a covering effect that evenly covers the surface of the leather, even on the most defective examples;
- minimisation of negative environmental impacts with the reduction of energy waste and the elimination of atmospheric emissions.
Among the main innovations made by this finishing system are:
- the possibility of finishing any type of leathers, even those buffed or with defects, with a single step with considerable benefits in reducing costs and working times
- the possibility of obtaining an almost completely finished leather that can be customized with replacements and fixatives
- compared to spray and roller finishing, the reduction of finishing steps which, consequently, reduces the risk of contamination to a minimum
- the possibility of reusing the release paper, now consumed after 20-30 passes, also in an alternative way, i.e. as a matrix for products with smooth base (drummed or with larger prints).

ECONOMIC BENEFIT
- Low cost of the plant.
- Option of small batches.
- No boiler for the diathermic oil.
- Reduced power consumption of drying ovens: the lamps are turned off during the line inactivity.
TECHNICAL BENEFIT
- Small overall dimension: 15 m with speed 1-2 m/min.
- Upgrading of any type of corrected and full grain leather.
- Temperature control directly on both the surface of the release paper and on the leathers.
- Elimination of dust contamination.
- Automatic cleaning system for release paper.
- Possibility of use of different types of release paper.
GREEN BENEFIT
- Reduced power consumption of water and electricity.
- No waste of chemical.
- Re-use of the release paper up to 30 times.
- Zero emissions in atmosphere.
