The textile industry

1. Power loom:

A power loom is a mechanical device used in the textile industry. Typically, power looms require only a small amount of air supply. For weaving facilities dealing with spun silk or operating medium-sized polyester filament, around 500-1500 cubic feet per minute (CFM) of air is needed. However, more extensive integrated equipment and texturing units may require higher air volumes, usually ranging from 2000 to 40,000 CFM. UNION company not only manufactures and supplies reciprocating and screw-type compressors, air treatment systems, and automated monitoring technology to meet all these air requirements but also continuously develops the latest compressor products. Investing in these products has proven to be highly beneficial.

2. Draining dyed carpets:

After dyeing, carpets need to be washed with clean water. During this process, the carpet is immersed in water and must be gently lifted from the water in an economical way. For this purpose, an adjustable suction box is used to feed the carpet onto a vacuum roller. A vacuum pump connected to the roller removes air from the grooves, resulting in the discharge of around 80% of the residual water from the carpet. Consistent airflow ensures careful handling of the material, smoothly discharging a continuous stream of water, and then draining with the working liquid.

3. Cutting table:

To facilitate the handling of multiple rolls of fabric, a cutting table forms an air cushion through a perforated plate for positioning. Once the fabric is positioned, vacuum suction keeps the fabric in the right place on the cutting table.

4. Knitting machine:

In the spinning process of the textile machine, the fabric becomes dirty and messy. Dirt is extracted and stored in a liquid container using a side-channel blower.

5. Pneumatic weaving machine:

To facilitate the replacement of the weft bobbins in the fabric, the threads on the stacked weft bobbins in the creel will be automatically drawn and tightened. Once all the threads on the weft bobbins are used up, the thread ends will be cut and pulled into a metal wire container in front of the blower. After the spinning process is completed, the fabric edges are cleaned with a direct current vacuum cleaner to prevent any remaining threads from being pulled into the container. During the weaving process, compressed air is used to hold the completed sections of the socks in the sock cylinder, allowing the knitting needles to move freely. A direct vacuum cleaner is used to remove scattered wires. After weaving is completed, the socks are suctioned out of the cylinder and placed into the receiving container of each knitting machine through compressed air connections.

6. Yarn steam treatment:

The yarn in the spinning machine is wound onto the winding shaft, causing the outer layer to be in a spiral shape, while the inner layer remains untwisted. As a result, the yarn undergoes steam treatment to further process it, disrupting the molecular arrangement of the material and making the fiber structure smoother.
