The
implementation of an
accurate on-line Moisture Control
System can offer significant
benefits to processors involved in
drying operations. Drying is often
one ot the most energy intensive
operations in a wide range of
textile processes.
The
purpose of the drying operation is
to drive off the moisture within the
fibre so that when the product
(whether it be loose fibre, yarn or
fabric) exits the dryer it is at the
desired moisture content (or
regain).
There
are three major areas to consider
tespect to cost justification for
the implementation of a moisture
control system.
 |
The
direct benefits from
being able to boost the
average moisture content of
the fibre produced and also
the benefit of monitoring
the moisture content
throughout the process. |
 |
The
increased productivity
(and/or lower production
costs and capital costs)
that can be obtained by
controlling the moisture
content to the desired
level. |
 |
The
quality benefits that
can be pbtained by
controlling the moisture
content to the desired
level. |
