The Importance of Energy Reduction in Non-Woven Fabric Production
In the fast-changing world of non-woven fabric production, reducing energy use is crucial. Production managers know that water and energy consumption affect both costs and environmental impact. As the industry progresses, finding a balance between efficiency and sustainability is key. Using energy-saving technologies isn’t just about cutting costs; it’s about adopting responsible and future-oriented production methods.
Innovative technologies like Jade, SPGPrints’ energy-efficient micro-perforated screen (MPS), show our commitment to this goal. This screen is designed to reduce costs and make the aqua-jetting production step more sustainable. Focusing on energy reduction is not only good for the environment but also a smart business move that aligns with the values of modern production managers and the industry as a whole.
Developing Jade: Energy efficient screen for non-woven production
As innovators, we always look for new ways to reduce energy use in non-woven fabric production. This drive has led us to develop new MPS screen designs that could transform the aqua-jetting process. Through experiments at IFM in Hof, we've found settings where our new screen design needs less water pressure, resulting in real water and energy savings.
How does Jade contribute to energy savings? In the spunlace process, fiber entanglement doesn't occur initially as water passes through the web. Instead, entanglement begins when the water rebounds off the screen and passes through the web again. By optimizing the patterns on the Jade screen, we enhance this rebound effect, enabling efficient entanglement at lower water pressures.
By leading these advancements, we aim to set new industry standards and provide production managers with solutions that reduce environmental impact while maintaining high production quality. The expected savings of up to 10% on energy use for high-pressure pumps demonstrate the effectiveness of our smart and flexible approach to conserving resources.
From concept to reality: bringing innovative solutions to life
After receiving positive lab results, we are excited to move our innovative invention from testing to real-world production. Our strong industry partnerships give us confidence that the promising lab results will translate smoothly into actual production. Initial feedback from our partners has been very positive, and the projected 10% reduction in energy costs is within reach.
This success validates our commitment to sustainable innovation and opens up new opportunities for further testing and development. It highlights the collaborative spirit driving progress and excellence in our industry, showcasing the power of working together for a greener, more efficient future.
