Textile mills focus on energy conservation

With scorching summer, textile mills need to maintain the ambiance within the mills and also conserve energy.

According to industry sources, more than 50 per cent of the mills in the State have humidification plants and, the smaller mills have sprinklers and vents. In the textile units, power consumption by motors, compressors and humidification plants is high. With temperature going up, mills are making more adjustments, running the humidification plants throughout and to full capacity.

The units will have to take these measures as workers will not be able to work otherwise within the mills.

Further, many of the mills are turning to synthetic yarn and it is essential to maintain the ambiance for quality production. However, these might lead to higher power bill.

In an effort to achieve energy conservation, the units are investing in high efficiency motors, automation solutions, etc that are available now, say the sources.

Even mills with 10,000 to 20,000 spindles have to modernise and upgrade facilities so that they can control the power costs, improve production quality, have better efficiency, and manage the increase in temperature.

More than 50 percent of the mills in the State have humidification plants.
