Energy conservation and emission reduction: The dyeing and finishing industry has tasted the benefits of upgrading equipment.

The dyeing and printing industry is a key industry, but it is also an energy-consuming and polluting industry. Faced with the severe situation of energy conservation and emission reduction, dyeing and printing enterprises are under unprecedented pressure. However, in the face of this pressure, some enterprises have not remained stagnant but have instead risen to the challenge. Recently, reporters learned from relevant sources that many dyeing and printing enterprises have invested heavily in technological transformation of equipment to reduce energy consumption and pollution while maintaining a certain production capacity.

Airflow cylinders are popular in the dyeing and printing industry.

Several years ago, energy conservation and emission reduction were regarded as an important task. The dyeing and printing industry was the first to be affected, with multiple increases in wastewater discharge standards and wastewater treatment fees. To reduce production costs and expand production capacity, some dyeing and printing enterprises have focused on energy conservation and emission reduction from aspects such as equipment, production processes, and post-treatment processes for wastewater. As a result, advanced foreign airflow cylinders have first entered the procurement list of dyeing and printing enterprises.

It is understood that compared with traditional J-type cylinders, airflow cylinders have characteristics such as smaller bath ratio, lower energy consumption, and less waste discharge, and are praised as environmentally friendly green equipment of the 21st century. In 2007, a buying frenzy for airflow cylinders swept through the dyeing and printing industry. That year, 54 airflow cylinders were installed and used in the county, with 10 of them being put into operation after installation and debugging by the end of the year.

To this day, the enthusiasm of dyeing and printing enterprises for purchasing airflow cylinders remains unabated. According to relevant regulations, by the end of September this year, Zhejiang Yichuang Dyeing and Printing Co., Ltd. will shut down 23 J-type cylinders, significantly reducing the constraints on the production capacity of enterprises. In the first half of this year, "Yichuang Dyeing and Printing" spent a huge amount of money to introduce 11 airflow cylinders from Germany, eliminating some backward production capacity, and currently, production orders are overwhelming.

Digital printing has been successively put into use.

Digital printing machines are another key production equipment that is heavily procured in the dyeing and printing industry. This type of equipment applies production processes similar to inkjet printers to the field of fabric dyeing and printing, achieving nearly zero pollution and zero emissions, which is favored by some dyeing and printing enterprises.

Enterprises benefit greatly from equipment updates.

The introduction of new equipment by various enterprises has not only reduced energy consumption but also brought many visible benefits to the enterprises.
