Humidification and humidity control in textile manufacturing

Humidification in textile manufacturing has many benefits that will enhance profitability:

Product weight - preventing moisture loss during a textile’s processing and storage can reduce weight loss from a typical 4% to just 0.5%.

Yarn quality - correct humidification will maintain yarn strength and elasticity, producing a better quality product with higher margins. Wastage is also reduced through a reduction in shedding.

Static control - Static can cause reduced productivity and product quality due to lint and fly attraction, machine jams and employee discomfort or even accidents. Higher humidity naturally dissipates static charges alleviating these problems.

Weaving efficiency - optimal humidification reduces yarn breakages in weaving, reducing machine downtime as well as loom stop marks and weavers knots in the finished product.

Employee comfort - humidifiers can deliver between 5-12°C of evaporative cooling to a textile production facility, while suppressing dust, fly and lint. This creates a healthier and more productive atmosphere for employees.

Akubra Hats

Ron Palin

General Manager Operations

“The Condair JetSpray is maintaining the ideal humidity of 70%RH in Akubra’s forming room. This significantly reduces imperfections in the felt, helping to deliver the highest efficiency and quality throughout the hat making process.

It is critical to maintain the relative humidity at 70% in the forming room to prevent any imperfections in the felt during this process, faults which will only show up later in the finishing process stages.”

Mukesh Saxena

Chief General Manager of Fabric Operations

“The JetSpray is maintaining the ideal humidity of 60%RH in Auro Weaving’s warping section. This significantly reduces the generation of fly and yarn breakages, helping us to deliver the highest efficiency and quality in the department. Since we installed the JetSpray humidification system, the ambience of the area is very comfortable and clean. We would highly recommend the JetSpray for humidification in warping and yarn storage, where reliable and accurate humidity control is essential.”
