Textile recycling turns used fabric into reusable fibre, and compressed air supports shredding, sorting, conveying and baling throughout the process. The environment is dusty and fibrous, so equipment must resist clogging and run reliably.
Key applications
- Shredder and granulator actuation
- Pneumatic conveying of fibres and dust
- Air-knife and density sorting
- Baling and packaging presses
Air quality
Control air must be dry and oil-free for reliable actuation, while conveying air needs adequate volume at low pressure. Heavy-duty intake filtration keeps textile dust out of the compressor, and frequent cooler cleaning prevents overheating.
System design
Match low-pressure blowers to the conveying duty and use a separate, dry instrument air supply for controls. Provide receiver capacity for the sharp demand of shredding and baling, and sequence machines to follow the batch process load.
