Preface:

Today's world is experiencing acute shortage of energy and each country and company is trying its best to conserve this limited source of energy. After cotton harvesting, Textile finishing industry has earned reputation of highest energy eating field.

According to different studies to manufacture a single cotton shirt approximately 2,800-3,000 litres of water is used and wet finishing processes consume the highest amount of water in all finishing processes. Considering this global water shortage problem many countries has tighten their norms and regulations for textile finishing processes as in order to reduce waste water problem.

To solve this problem companies are opting for technologies which are more environment friendly and more energy saving in nature. Machinery manufactures are focusing their investment on R&D to develop technologies which are energy efficient and more sophisticated.

Following description provide brief idea about latest offerings by some notable processing machinery manufactures which will help reduce energy wastage problem and make a step forward in way to make environment clean and green.

Latest Offerings:

Leading manufactures are tightening their belts with the aim of offering best solution to the industry and are investing highly on R&D to develop energy saving technologies. Following are some latest products offered by some leading finishing machine manufactures.

Benninger AG

Benninger is a leading provider of finishing machinery and a well reputed in terms of developing innovative machineries. Under the term "Resource management" company attempts to make solutions for finishing industry more energy efficient.

Benninger has developed system which can efficiently recover water, valuable materials and waste energy in the process through a specially developed diaphragm filtration systems with

This diaphragm system is a multi stage system where the first stage is comprises an ultrafiltration stage followed by downstream reverse osmosis stage. The ultrafiltration stage is equipped with a special ceramic diaphragm frame which is designed to restrain long-chain organic components of the used waste water coming out of processing process. In the next stage i.e. reverse osmosis, dissolved dyestuffs and salts are almost completely separated from the processed water.

Processed water after passing through these two purification stage becomes ready to be reusable in textile finishing process without any adverse effect to quality of the end product. This system helps recover more than 80 % of the treated waste water.

Brückner

Brueckner has long tradition of investment in development in energy efficient equipments. The company supplies its products with Eco-Heat, a heat recovery system, which is a unique energy saving concept by brueckner.

This system recovers heat from exhausted air and reuses this air to heat up fresh air entering into the stenter. In the same manner this system also enables reuse of exhausted air to heat up service water which is used in wet finishing. Brueckner's Eco-heat system are said to be most efficient system which has short payback time.
