Textiles and fashion

Compressed, oil-free air is in high demand in the textile and fashion industry. It powers looms, mills and machines, adding distinct value at every stage. Our solutions maximize uptime, reduce energy use, and help give form and finish to superior textiles and clothes.

Textile and fashion

Oil-free compressed air helps in achieving the best results for textiles and fabrics. Our compressors maximize operational uptime and provide the lowest total cost of ownership possible. Our ISO 8573-1 Class 0 certified systems ensure zero risk of contamination in compressed air. Moreover, our system’s extended service intervals and monitoring systems make maintenance easier.

Energy use is an important factor that we address. This is because a compressor’s energy consumption represents over 80% of its lifecycle cost. So we’ve developed compressed air solutions have multiple energy-saving options, notably, the variable speed drive. Additionally, 99% of a compressor’s C02 emissions are caused by energy consumption. Here, our energy recovery option helps our customers reduce the total cost of ownership as well as their carbon footprint by recovering up to 95% of the electrical energy.

Siyaram Silk Mills Limited in Tarapur, Maharashtra, has implemented Atlas Copco's AIRnet modular compressed air piping system connected to a 250 kW Oil Free Air Compressor ZT 250, ensuring efficient delivery of compressed air, reducing energy consumption by up to 56,000 kWh annually.

Our relationship with Atlas Copco goes back more than 20 years. We believe in Atlas Copco because they are a quality supplier. Their services are good. They are way ahead of any other suppliers and just a phone call away. When we decide to expand further, we will definitely use Atlas Copco’s AIRnet system.

Mr. P. K. Archarya, Senior President (Technical), Siyaram Silk Mills Limited
