Spare parts influence energy efficiency Textile manufacturers can exercise a decisive influence on the energy efficiency of their production technology even through the choice of spare parts and service intervals. Lack of maintenance of textile machinery and the use of inferior wearing parts reduce the efficiency of machinery and increase energy consumption.
Labelling is linked to ambitious requirements Market transparency is important, but when it comes to capital goods, labels are not a cure-all. Above all, they are by no means a “simple solution” for a complex product such as a textile machine. Labelling in mechanical engineering is subject to demanding requirements – only if they are met, can machine labels offer added value!
The VDMA Textile Machinery Association and its member companies are looking forward to discuss with textile manufacturers from around the globe the factors for a comparable assessment of the energy efficiency of textile machinery at ITMA in Barcelona.
