The new Luwa MultiCell Filter
opens up many opportunities to reduce
the required floor space of airconditioning
and filtration plants in
textile mills.
EasyHeat PLUS was the new addition
to the product range of System
Koenig. EasyHeat PLUS provides a
2-step energy saving generation of
hot process water. The first step is a
standard water to water heat recovery
unit of the System Koenig product
range. The second is an industrial
heat pump in order to raise the hot
water temperature. EasyHeat PLUS
provides hot water of up to 75°C.
On the response from Indian customers,
Mr. Abrell said: “Our entire
sales team from Luwa India together
with the complete team of our rep-
42 | ThE TEXTILE MAGAZINE OCTOBER 2011
resentative A.T.E. was extremely
busy having discussions with many
customers from India. We could
demonstrate and explain our new
developments to a big number of
mill owners and decision makers in
the industry. 2011 has been a very
good year for Luwa India, even better
than 2010 despite the slowdown
in the second half year of 2011. In
addition to the traditional textile
sector, we could book good orders
in the synthetic fiber and nonwoven
sectors”.
In a live demonstration Luwa operated
a Uniluwa system with Texfog
for process air conditioning.
The Uniluwa is supplying precisely
controlled clean air to the new airjet
spinning machine of Rieter on
their adjacent booth. Control and
monitoring of all parameters is accomplished
with the superior Luwa
Digi5 Control System.
On the Indian textile industry
and its future growth prospects, he
observed: “India’s textile industry
will grow further and move on to be
a more organized sector. This will
happen in line with an increased focus
on quality and productivity as
labour costs are raising and getting
good, skilled workers is more and
more difficult. In line with these developments
the humidification and
waste collection plants need to be
of the highest performance level at
the same time must require low levels
for maintenance. This is exactly
where a Luwa plant with its proven
efficiency and reliability comes in”.
