The post Weaving together a spotless textile industry first appeared on ELGi.]]> After electricity, water and steam, compressed air is one of the major utilities in almost any industry. It is used extensively in the textile industry. Therefore, it is important to pick the right compressor while setting up an air system to optimise production and reduce waste.

Compressed air is needed at almost every stage of the manufacturing process, especially in cotton textile industries and the polyester yarn industries. Right from jet weaving to texturizing, winding and dyeing non-woven textiles, wastewater treatment and other processes, air is needed everywhere.

Contact with oil (from the air compressors) can leave grease stains on fabric causing it to darken. Using oil-free compressors not only reduces the chances of rejection but also optimises production with less idle time and extended intervals between servicing.
