Eco Line
Monforts is now going a stage further in addressing resource efficiency by combining the Eco Applicator with its ThermoStretch unit in the latest Eco Line concept.
The Monforts ThermoStretch unit carries out the skewing (weft straightening), stretching and drying in a continuous process.
“The Eco Line system reduces energy requirements and losses, increases thermal transfer and keeps the drying energy on the textile material longer,” says Monforts Area Sales Director and Head of Product Management for Denim, Hans Wroblowski. “As a result significant energy savings are being achieved.”
Arvind has recently installed India’s first integrated Monforts Eco Line which can handle fabric widths of 1.8 metres and operate at high speeds of up to 80 m/min. It is operating alongside four Montex foam finishing stenters, which are also able to handle this same width of material.
The Eco Line system reduces energy losses and energy use, increases thermal transfer and keeps the drying energy on the textile material longer, so that it can be used very efficiently. As a result, energy savings of up to 50% can be achieved. Exhaust air energy can also be reduced to a minimum, which has a positive effect on the emission load into the atmosphere.
As a major player in the Indian textile Market, this week Arvind announced that it will set up a greenfield Denim plant at Kuppam in Andhra Pradesh, with an investment of $105 m, the plant will have a capacity to manufacture 24 million garments per annum.
The textile plant will provide employment to 80 per cent of women with 9,300 direct employment. The Arvind Mills plant will produce denim jeans and is scheduled to start production in February 2020.
The Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh is likely to lay the foundation stone for the new project on December 13th 2018.
Arvind’s current annual denim capacity is now 110 million metres and some key initiatives have been specifically aimed at reducing the use of energy, water and chemicals.
