BOGE Featured in June Issue of Textile Today

BOGE Kompressoren's essential importance to the Asia-Pacific textile industry is the focus of a brand new article in the June edition of Textile Today magazine. Covering both the phenomenal growth in the Asian textile market and BOGE Singapore's singular ability to service this growth with first-in-class air compressor technology, Textile Today also includes the insightful thoughts of BOGE Singapore's General Manager, Nalin Amunugama.

Asia-Pacific's Growing Textile Industry

As pointed out by Textile Today magazine's own Meera Mathialagan, who wrote the featured article on BOGE, the textile industry is one filled with promise. In the Asian Region alone, manufacturers produce 46% of all textile output across the globe. That is a staggering figure, and one which highlights the importance of the textile industry to the entire region in terms of economic growth and employment.

With specific reference to the woven fabrics sector, clothing and other cloth materials are necessities which the textile industry provides globally. Combined with this, a sustained consumer desire to keep up with new fashion trends has transformed a once flagging industry into one of the most important sectors throughout Asia. This has translated into unrivalled growth. The textile industry's Compound Annual Growth (CAGR) alone is projected to be worth around USD $842 billion by 2020. In order to meet this demand, the textile industry continues to seek out innovative technologies which can help increase production while lowering overall carbon footprint. BOGE Kompressoren is the leading manufacturer of the technologies which allow this growth to be met with vigour. Without our innovative air compressor designs, the textile industry would also not be able to meet new energy efficiency guidelines, nor would they be able to fulfil the growing demand around the globe for high quality textiles.

Beyond air compressor technology, the textile industry, as pointed out in the Textile Today magazine article, requires new means to increase productivity and efficiency beyond current demand and well into the future. In the age of automation which is rapidly approaching, textile manufacturers are in need of Artificial Intelligence which can control production to maximise output and energy use. This is something that BOGE Kompressoren's engineers are well aware of, having designed and released a series of innovative automated control systems with this in mind.

The Need for Increased Air Compressor Production

As manufacturers look for new ways to increase efficiency and lower their carbon footprint, they have turned their collective attention towards BOGE air compressors. The reason for this is that air compressors are often used within the textile industry to power equipment and carry out both manufacturing and maintenance. If the performance of such systems can be improved upon and are scalable, then manufacturers will not only be able to meet the demands of new fashion trends, but will also be able to significantly cut their production costs.  As pointed out in the textile today magazine article, compressed air production is so important during textile manufacturing that it is often considered the fourth utility behind electricity, water, and gas. It is an essential way to both transport gases and fluids, as well as providing power to critical equipment and components through the precise use of quality compressed air.

The Textile Today magazine article makes special mention of BOGE Kompressoren's ultimate solution for cost-effective operations in the textile industry. A key component of this promise by BOGE to deliver air compressor excellence at an affordable price, is the Air Intelligence Plus and Air Intelligence Provis 2.00 master controllers. The Air Intelligence Plus controller is perfect for smaller operations, allowing for precision control and automation of 6 compressors simultaneously.

The Air Intelligence Provis 2.0 is the logical step for more complex and larger operations within the textile industry. The Air Intelligence Provis 2.0 can control 16 compressors simultaneously along with 24 different accessories. As automation revolutionises manufacturing in general, the textile industry is striving to stay one step ahead of new tech developments. By incorporating BOGE Kompressoren's controllers in their plants, textile manufacturers are taking the next essential step towards true automation of production.

The textile industry continues its meteoric growth, with forecasts predicting that it will only go from strength to strength in the near to intermediate future, if not for decades to come. BOGE Kompressoren, as pointed out by Meera Mathialagan's Textile Today magazine article, is perfectly positioned to ensure that textile manufacturers truly benefit from this growth in demand, while incorporating cutting edge air compressor technologies.

The Textile Industry and Oil-Free Air Compressors

BOGE Singapore General Manager, Nalin Amunugama was interviewed for Textile Today's feature article, and he was able to share his experiences of facilitating the textile industry with the latest in BOGE air compressor technology. The key point which he makes in the article, is that there is a critical need within the textile industry for air compressors which can produce safe, oil free air. This is essential not just for the safety of consumers, but also the workers within the textile industry itself.

Mr Amunugama describes the marked popularity of both oil free screw models, such as the Bluekat, and BOGE's peerless Turbo technology designs. Most textile manufacturers choose these air compressor models because they are reliable work horses in high productivity scenarios, such as during the operation of air jet looms. Furthermore, when textile manufacturers require compressed air for spinning processes, they are able to reduce overheads by opting for oil injected screw compressors like those found in the S4 range, supplementing them with downstream filtration, which produces virtually oil free compressed air without increasing expenditure. BOGE Singapore provides industry leading equipment to help textile businesses install integrated compressed air treatment systems which will remove particulate matter from variable sources including oil, water, and dust.
