What type of homework is done by your company before purchasing a new machine(s) for a new project or for expanding existing capacities? Do you ask the machine supplier to demonstrate the operation or you, on your own, taking the expert advice of in-house technicians and production heads decide the type of sewing machine to be purchased? Apart from the price offered by the dealer/manufacturer, what all factors affect your decision?

Effective Solutions for Handling Multiple Compressors

In an apparel manufacturing facility, compressed air is required to run pneumatic machines, mostly for ironing lines present in a factory. Predominantly when buying a compressor for compressed air supply, companies look for its maximum load capacity and compare it with their requirement while ignoring the fact that compressors are power guzzlers which consume a huge amount of electricity. With sustainability and cost reduction as the key for future growth, it is important to understand different kinds of compressors available in the market and the savings possible with regard to the electricity consumption.
