The textile industry has an energy-saving potential of up to 20%. Therefore, technological innovation and technical improvements are key solutions to help textile enterprises use energy efficiently, increase labor productivity, and enhance market competitiveness.

A recent comparison conducted in a Turkish spinning mill shows an 18% lower energy consumption for the compact-spinning machine K 48 compared to the competition. For a machine with 1 824 spindles, this benefit equates to an annual saving of around 12,000 USD per machine. This once again demonstrates Rieter’s strong claim for the energy efficiency of compact-spinning technology. The findings are not only important for the success of Rieter and its customers, but also contribute to a more sustainable and economic future for the textile industry.

With the potential to save about 20% of energy consumption, textile enterprises increasingly focus on implementing energy-saving solutions.

Beginning next year, the textile industry in Taiwan will have to mandatorily take energy conservation measures, as per a directive of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), according to local media reports.
