PRECOWASH – Enzyme Dust & Lint Remover
The textile industry faces persistent challenges related to enzyme wash, which produces large amounts of loose lint, tiny fiber dust, and balls. These particles disrupt factory operations, especially in critical areas like the slitting machine, stenter machine, and cutting areas. The consequences of these issues are significant, ranging from machine jams and frequent maintenance to fire hazards and product rejections.
Cosmo Essen Inc. Ltd. has developed a groundbreaking solution to address these problems: PRECOWASH. This innovative chemical process is designed to eliminate enzyme dust and lint, improving operational efficiency, safety, and product quality.
The Problem with Enzyme Wash
- Excessive Lint and Dust: Enzyme wash generates enormous amounts of loose lint and fiber dust, which spreads throughout the factory, particularly affecting the stenter and cutting areas.
- Machine Jams and Fires: Dust buildup in stenter machines can lead to frequent jams and, more dangerously, cause sparks due to static electricity. These sparks are a serious fire hazard, especially when combined with the naturally high temperatures inside the stenter. Between 2000 and 2019, 80% of fire accidents in Bangladesh’s textile dyeing sector were caused by electrical short circuits due to stenter machine sparks, many of which were directly linked to fabric dust accumulation. This fire risk is an unavoidable danger without proper dust control measures.
- Health Hazards: Airborne dust from textile production has been linked to a variety of serious health conditions, including lung cancer, COPD, asthma, and pneumoconiosis. Workers exposed to these fine dust particles are at a higher risk of heart disease and lung-related diseases.
- Misprints in AOP Fabrics: Dust also interferes with printing machines, leading to misprints and rejected garments. Dust migration between fabrics further worsens packing and shipment quality.
The Solution – PRECOWASH
PRECOWASH is a next-generation chemical treatment specifically formulated to tackle the lint and dust problem. This revolutionary product works by breaking the bond between loose fibers and fabric during the biowash process, coagulating the dust so it can be easily drained away with the wash water.
