Compressed Air for Textile Mills
Textile mills are where Systel has the deepest record. Spinning and weaving plants run three shifts, air demand follows production closely, and small changes in machine mix or set-points move the power bill every month.
Where compressed air is used
- Winding machines, for splicing and yarn handling.
- Air-jet and other spinning processes, where air is part of the process itself.
- Air-jet weaving, often the largest single user in a weaving unit.
- Blow-off, cleaning and pneumatic controls across the mill.
Where the losses usually are
- Machines that are idle or stopped but still consuming air.
- Pressure held at the level the most demanding machine needs, for the whole mill.
- Leaks across long distribution networks and many machine connections.
- Compressors running unloaded through doffing, shift changes and breaks.
- Several units or sheds sharing one station without knowing who uses what.
What Systel measures
Flow and power on every compressor, dew point after each dryer, and flow and end-of-line pressure for each department or shed. During the baseline, Systel adds machine-level flow measurements on the main consumers, so the mill knows its air use per machine type and can compare it with its own production data.
From there the programme runs the same way for every plant: a measured baseline, a year of monitoring with quarterly reviews, and an action list where every open item carries its cost per month. Your team makes the changes; Systel measures whether they held.
What you will not see here
Customer names and savings percentages. Systel names a customer only with written approval, and every plant’s result depends on what its own team closes. In a feasibility discussion we can talk through comparable plants from the archive.
By invitation. Not a free audit. A feasibility visit is where scope, sensor points and project value are frozen. It starts with a phone call.
