SOLLANT AIR COMPRESSOR
Elevate Textile Manufacturing Efficiency with Our Air Compressor Solutions
As a kind of equipment widely used in various fields, air compressors cannot be ignored in the textile industry. The textile industry is a labor-intensive industry, and air compressors can provide it with a stable and efficient air source, helping textile companies realize automated production and improve production efficiency and product quality.
The main application of air compressors in the textile industry
The primary application of air compressors in the textile industry is to provide a reliable source of compressed air for various processes and equipment. Compressed air is essential for several key functions within textile manufacturing, including:
- Pneumatic Tools: Air compressors power a wide range of pneumatic tools used in textile production, such as air guns, staplers, and nailers. These tools are employed for tasks like fastening, joining, and assembling textile components.
- Spinning and Weaving: Compressed air is used in spinning and weaving machines to control the tension of yarn and fabric, ensuring a consistent and high-quality end product.
- Air Jet Looms: Air compressors drive air jet looms, which are widely used in textile weaving. These looms rely on compressed air to propel the weft yarn through the warp threads, enabling fast and efficient weaving.
- Textile Dyeing: Air compressors play a critical role in textile dyeing processes. They are used to create pressure for dyeing machines and ensure the proper circulation of dye liquor through fabric, ensuring even coloration.
- Air Filtration and Cleaning: Compressed air is used for cleaning and removing dust and debris from textile machinery, enhancing the cleanliness of the production environment.
- Textile Printing: In textile printing, air compressors power the pneumatic systems that control the movement of screens, cylinders, or nozzles used to apply ink or dye onto fabric.
- Textile Finishing: Compressed air is utilized in various finishing processes, such as calendering and embossing, to enhance the appearance and texture of textiles.
- Conveying and Drying: Air compressors are used to transport materials within the textile production process and to dry fabrics after various treatments, ensuring the desired moisture content.
- Packaging: In the packaging of textile products, air compressors operate sealing and labeling equipment, ensuring efficient and high-quality packaging.
In summary, air compressors are integral to the textile industry, enabling the efficient and reliable operation of various processes and equipment. Their versatility and reliability make them a critical component of textile manufacturing, contributing to product quality and production efficiency.
Since the compressed air is in contact with the garment fabric throughout the production process, an oil-free compressor is recommended. Any risk of oil coming into contact with the fabric could result in a blackened oil stain on the fabric and damage/unusability of the final product.
Investing in Class 0 certified equipment not only reduces the risk of rejection, it also optimizes production, reduces downtime and extends maintenance intervals.
Clean compressed air is essential for advanced textile processing. Oil-free air protects your equipment from damage, prevents oil from contaminating your final product, and protects your hard-earned reputation. In addition, for the protection of equipment, maintenance intervals can be extended, downtime can be shortened, and your productivity and profit can be improved.
Oil requirement
The compressed air used for air-jet weft insertion cannot contain oil. If oil-containing compressed air is used for weft insertion, it will not only pollute the fabric, but also adhere to the nozzle and reed of the air-jet loom, affecting the jet effect and increasing the weft insertion resistance. Due to the accumulation and precipitation of oil, the weft insertion effect will continue to deteriorate. Oil particles in the air of the production workshop will pollute the environment and endanger human health. For this reason, whether the compressor producing compressed air is oil-free or oil-lubricated, the oil pollution in the air must be removed. The air-jet weaving process requires the purity of compressed air oil to be as follows: the maximum oil content does not exceed 0.1mg/m3, which is to meet the ISO8573-1 compressed air quality classification by oil content level 2 requirements. However, since the oil content in the atmospheric environment is often higher than the requirements of level 2, we must deal with the oily impurities in the compressed air to achieve a clean oil-free level, which means that the compressed air quality of ISO8573-1 is classified by oil content. Level 1 requirement.
Pressure dew point temperature requirements
The air in different regions and seasons has different moisture content. The moisture content of the compressed air used for air-jet weft insertion should not be too high. Compressed air with high moisture content will precipitate water in the pipeline and condense into water particles, which will cause dust to adhere to the pipe wall and cause air transmission pressure loss. If there is a lot of humidity in the air, it will also cause pollution and rust to the reed, nozzle and loom parts. The humidity content of compressed air required by the air jet weaver process is: the pressure dew point temperature is -20°C, that is, it reaches the third level of ISO8573-1 compressed air quality classified by moisture content.
Dust requirements
Compressed air rarely contains dust, impurities, smoke or harmful gases, because unclean air will cause wear and tear on textile equipment and affect the performance and life of the loom. The air-jet weaving process requires the dust content of the compressed air to reach level 2 of the ISO8573-1 compressed air quality classification based on the dust content.
