Nowadays, with the growin energy and raw material prices, spinners are finding their ways to stay competitive and even to survive. One of the preferred ways is to save energy. Spinners are becoming increasingly more attentive to the energy requirements per kilogram of yarn produced, which makes energy savings one of the key criteria for their equipment choices.
The massive pressure has compelled textile manufacturers from around the world to boost their productivity in ways that are eco-friendly and sustainable. In discussing German textile machinery makers' exhibiting at ITMA 2011, VDMA Textile Machinery Association said in a recent press release that ecological design and energy efficiency are the subjects to which the textile sector is increasingly confronted both by legislation and by customers' requirements. The association, however, stressed that today, more than ever many new technical solutions are considered with regard to their ecological efficiency.
Germany is one of the major spinning machinery exporters. According to VDMA Textile Machinery Association, during January to June of this year, Germany exported spinning machinery amounting to 640 million euros, which registered a significant year-on-year increase of 61%. This has manifested how eager spinners are to enhance their competitiveness by employing the cutting-edge spinning technology.
