Increasing profits with environmental control
By maintaining a level of 65-75% relative humidity (%rH) in textile manufacturing facilities static build-up can be reduced, regain improved, yarn breakage minimised and dust, fly and lint suppressed.
This will dramatically improve quality and maintain consistent product weight thus maximising profits.
Textile humidification will:
· Improve regain
· Maintain yarn strength
· Reduce static build-up
· Maintain product__ weight
· Reduce fly and micro dust
· Provide free cooling
We have over 25 years experience in helping the textile industry across the globe solve dry air problems. As specialists in humidification, we offer a wide selection of low energy and close control humidifiers for all textile applications.
Textile humidification
Why humidify in the textile industry?
Humidity control in the textile industry is essential in order to maintain product quality and reduce imperfections. A dry environment in textile manufacturing and storage facilities can have many serious implications:
Regain
Dry air causes lower regain and this contributes to poor quality and lower productivity. By humidifying the materials are kept at optimum regain
and are less prone to breakage heating and friction effects, they handle better, have fewer imperfections, are more uniform and feel better.
Static electrification
Dry materials create more friction and are more prone to static electrification. Higher humidity reduces static
problems and makes materials more manageable increasing machine speeds.
Yarn strength
Yarns with low moisture content are weaker, thinner, more brittle and less elastic.
Fabric shrinkage
Low humidity causes fabric shrinkage. Maintained humidity permits greater reliability in cutting and fitting during garment creation and contributes to the maintenance of specification where dimensions are important, such as in the carpet industry.
Product weight
Textile weights are standardised at 60%rH and 20°C (68°F). Maintaining humidity will ensure low product weights don’t lead to lowered profits.
Dust
Humidification reduces fly and micro-dust, providing a healthier and more comfortable working environment.
Cooling
A cold-water spray humidification system can provide an evaporative cooling effect of up to 12°C (54°F). This makes the environment more comfortable to work in and improves staff productivity.
