The Gessner Multi-Roll SENSI-TOUCH II


Sanding/Sueding Machine is designed to impart a luxurious suede finish on woven, knitted and non-woven fabrics. Irrespective of the fabric’s construction, weight, or fiber content, the SENSI-TOUCH II can be equipped to produce a superior fabric surface. Heavy woven twills, denims and light weight or knit fabrics with micro denier fiber all can be processed in the same machine with excellent results. This is because each SENSI-TOUCH II has five individually controlled (speed and direction) abrasive roll positions with your choice of three unique working cylinders depending on your application:



Gessner’s continuous contact cylinder, a super-rigid, lightweight, temperature-resistant fiberglass composite material wrapped with emery paper of various abrasive sizes. This continuous contact cylinder is recommended for the majority of woven fabrics.

Gessner’s interrupted contact cylinder, each of light weight aluminum and populated with six abrasive-coated Duralene® tubes producing a softening and aging effect due to beating action caused by interrupted contact. This cylinder is recommended for certain heavy woven fabrics, where softening (or de-sizing) as well as the sueding effect is desired.

Gessner’s brush-soft cylinder, a brush with special abrasive filament bristles. This produces a dense, very low pile for a soft suede, peach skin type effect and is suitable for less stable fabrics like knits, fabrics containing Lycra® or fragile constructions. A similar effect can also be achieved on woven fabrics.

These unique working cylinders are quickly and easily maintained or replaced
using Gessner’s Quick Change chuck system. Switch between all cylinder types
with ease.
