Vosges Energy Conservation Business

In April 2011, the Board of Directors of Vosges Group Co., Ltd. released its first-quarter results announcement. The company's first-quarter net profit increased by 100% to 120% over the same period of last year. The reason for the substantial increase in corporate earnings is the continuous increase in marketing efforts, continuous increase in market share, and increase in product sales prices. In the effort to achieve a substantial increase in revenue and profits from the main business of Vosges Group, the company has a towel company. Contributions have been made. In the process of saving energy and reducing consumption and realizing significant cost reduction, they contributed to the achievement of a leap in the profitability of the company.

A new dyeing and weaving process called low-temperature brewing and bleaching technology enabled the Vosges Group's towel branch to realize a 74.1% reduction in steam consumption per ton of product and an impressive result in reducing the overall cost of the ton product by more than 20%.

As we all know, the greatest energy consumption of printing and dyeing is steam and water. It consumes energy and pollutes the environment. How to reduce costs, energy saving and emission reduction has become a subject that companies are competing to research and develop. It is understood that the production of a ton of dyeing products requires 60 tons of water consumption, electricity 542 degrees, 2.7 tons of water vapor, and time-consuming, there are also cotton yarn loss. Traditional production of a ton of towel products, the overall cost of about 3200 yuan / ton, does not include soaping, softening and other dyeing processes used after the energy. Traditional towel dyeing, boiling and boiling temperature up to 110 °C, if you can reduce the dyeing temperature, you can greatly reduce energy consumption. In response to this situation, Vosges Towel Company established a research group on reducing consumption, and made bold innovations in the traditional dyeing and weaving process. The new dyeing and weaving process of low-temperature cooking and bleaching became their first choice. Using low-temperature cooking and bleaching, the two steps of neutralization and deoxidation before dyeing can be changed to one-step one-bath operation, which can save the cost of water, electricity, gas, and labor time.

Since 2009, Vosges has formulated a series of process reform programs to screen new types of low-temperature pre-cooking and bleaching agents, and conducted comparative tests on whiteness, gross effect, strength, cotton yarn loss and other indicators, and finally selected a domestic one. The company's low-temperature pretreatment agent is tested. After the trials, it was concluded that in 2010, they transformed the laboratory's test process into a large workshop production process and solved problems found on the spot in time. Subsequently, in the production workshop, a new technology for low-temperature cooking and bleaching was promoted, and all operators were trained to perform standardized exercises on site to ensure the normal and effective use of the new process.

Ma Guizhong, assistant director of the towel company of Vosges Group, is a member of the research group on the subject. He exemplifies, for example, using traditional techniques, 2.7 tons of water steam for ton dyeing products, 0.7 tons of water steam for low-temperature cooking and bleaching technology, and saving 2 tons of water vapor. The savings rate reached 74.1%. Other aspects such as water and electricity savings are also very significant. He told reporters that the new dyeing process using low-temperature cooking and bleaching technology has greatly saved the consumption of water, electricity and steam. Especially in the use of steam, a ton of product cost savings of up to 100 yuan. He calculated an account for the reporter and used a new process, which reduced the consumption of water vapor ton by more than 30%, reduced the discharge of sewage by more than 20%, reduced the time for printing and dyeing by more than 20%, reduced the power consumption by more than 20%, and reduced the loss of cotton yarn by 20 %the above. The overall cost per ton product is reduced by more than 20%. “According to the use of low-temperature dying and bleaching technology for 12,000 tons of dyeing products per year of the Vosges Group Company, annual direct economic benefits of cost savings of RMB 9,906,000 can be generated. If this dyeing and finishing technology is promoted to full The industry will bring huge economic and social benefits," he said.
