Compressed air, as the second largest power source after electricity, has been used everywhere in textile mills, and more and more textile processes have been completed by pneumatics. At present, it is mainly used in fiber material transportation, rubber roller pressurization, mobile station, jet airflow processing, jet automatic control technology, cleaning components, etc.

What are the applications of compressed air in the textile industry?

Air jet looms are equipment that consume a large amount of air in the textile industry. At the same time, air-coated silk machines, texturizing machines, etc. also need to use compressed air. Slice dryers and material transportation in the chemical fiber industry also need compressed air.

The main production of air jet looms uses high efficiency air compressor as the weft insertion carrier, which has strict requirements on the quality and pressure of compressed air. Its working principle is to use air as the weft insertion medium, and use the ejected compressed air flow to generate friction traction on the weft yarn to pull the weft yarn through the shuttle, and achieve the purpose of weft insertion through the jet generated by the jet.

In order to ensure the normal operation of the air jet loom, the quality of compressed air used as a means of weft insertion is extremely important. The quality of compressed air directly affects the quality of the product.

Compressed air quality standards and solutions for the textile industry

If impurities such as water, oil, and dust appear in the compressed air during the production process, it will cause obvious pollution to the material, which is a very serious problem. The quality of compressed air is not only for the stable operation of weft insertion, but also for improving the sanitation of production.

Compressed air is needed in many links of textile production, but each link has different requirements for the quality of compressed air. However, as long as the air source of the jet loom is met, it can basically meet all the gas needs of the entire production line. Textile products require clean and oil-free air, so oil-free screw compressors are more common in textile factories.

In the post-processing equipment, it is necessary to configure precision filters and adsorption dryers for purification, and to purify solid impurities such as water and dust. The pressure dew point must reach -20℃, and the solid particles must be less than 1μm to ensure the stable production and reduce the harm to equipment products to the lowest standard.
