Baldwin Technology will exhibit its TexCoat G4 precision spray finishing system at the 33rd Apparel Sourcing Show in Guatemala, pitching the technology to Central American mills and garment producers seeking to cut water, chemistry, energy and labor costs while shortening lead times.

The company says the non-contact system applies finishing chemicals only where fabric needs them, eliminating saturation and squeeze processes. Baldwin claims fabric moisture levels at padder exit can drop from typical 40–60 percent to 20–30 percent, which cuts drying energy and opens the option of skipping drying altogether in some applications.

The G4 version adds servo-driven spray bars and independently controlled nozzles, allowing mills to change recipes without stopping production. Baldwin says the system also reduces chemistry waste and can operate with fewer staff, while transfer of finishing agents to the fabric is claimed to exceed 95 percent.

The company positions the technology as a fit for the region's integrated vertical mills and garment manufacturers, who face rising compliance pressure from brands on chemical management and water use. Baldwin also argues the system supports on-demand and just-in-time production models.

The 33rd Apparel Sourcing Show runs 10–12 September at the Hotel Atitlán and La Antigua Guatemala convention center. Baldwin will display the TexCoat G4 at stand 107.

TexCoat G4 is Baldwin's fourth-generation spray finishing platform, following earlier rollouts across textile mills in Europe, Asia and the Americas.
