Power Consumption Comparison Between Compressor and Ring Blower
Enhancing Efficiency in Textile Garment Industry with Cleantek Ring Blower:
Client Background:
Our client is a leading textile garment manufacturer that uses "Open Width Compactor Machines" to test garment width and quality. This process is critical for ensuring the final product meets stringent industry standards.
Problem Faced:
The client was facing significant challenges with the existing setup. During the cloth roll running process, the side parts of the fabric were curling inside, causing quality issues. To address this, they used a 15 HP compressor with blow nozzles to prevent curling on both edges of the garment cloth. However, this method had several drawbacks:
High Noise Levels: The compressor generated significant noise, causing a disruptive work environment.
Excessive Power Consumption: Running a 15 HP compressor continuously for 24 hours across 5 machines resulted in high electricity costs.
Maintenance Issues: Frequent maintenance of the compressor added to operational challenges and costs.
Solution Provided by Cleantek:
Cleantek conducted a thorough study of the client's process and recommended replacing the 15 HP compressor system with a more efficient 1 HP blower equipped with blow nozzles for each of the 5 machines.
Key Features of the Cleantek Blower System:
High-Pressure Airflow: Delivers consistent air pressure to prevent fabric curling without the need for high power consumption.
Low Noise Operation: Significantly reduces noise pollution, creating a more pleasant and productive work environment.
Energy Efficient: Drastically lowers power usage, providing substantial cost savings.
Low Maintenance: Requires minimal maintenance compared to the previous compressor system.
Results and Benefits:
The implementation of the Cleantek blower system led to several measurable improvements:
Noise Reduction: The new blowers operate quietly, eliminating the noise pollution issues previously faced.
Power Savings: The switch from a 15 HP compressor to 1 HP blowers resulted in annual power savings of approximately Rs. 4 lakhs.
Reduced Maintenance: The Cleantek blowers require minimal maintenance, reducing downtime and associated costs.
The client is highly satisfied with the Cleantek solution, which not only improved the operational efficiency but also contributed to significant cost savings and a better working environment. The successful implementation of the Cleantek ring blower system demonstrates the potential for innovative solutions to drive improvements in industrial processes.
