A.T.E. provides LUWA humidification solutions to the Indian textile industry

A.T.E., a leader in textile engineering, joined hands with LUWA, a global leader in industrial air engineering, in the year 2009, to provide humidification solutions to spinning and weaving sectors in India. While A.T.E. and LUWA are backed by eight decades of experience in their respective fields, LUWA has also been associated with the Indian textile industry over the past 25 years.

LUWA stands for well-engineered, innovative systems, plants, and solutions for textile and other industries. In textile air engineering, they offer solutions for air-conditioning, filtration and waste handling. LUWA offers comprehensive services ranging from consultancy covering conception to manufacturing, installation, maintenance, and warranty services. A.T.E. and LUWA have come together to complement the experience and expertise of both the partners in the respective fields to provide perfect solutions for the textile industry.

LUWA provides turnkey and customised solutions to various industries for their different application needs, backed by several years of experience, profound know-how, and conformance to Swiss quality standards. LUWA is a trusted name for its over 1,000 customers in India. LUWA is the pioneer in providing solutions related to humidification and filtration plants for the spinning industry in India. Over the years, LUWA became the first time introducer of many new types of equipment, which subsequently set the standard as the minimum requirements to run a textile mill. Lately, prefabricated air handling units in India has become very popular, which LUWA had introduced more than 20 years ago.

Apart from spinning, LUWA also has a huge presence in the weaving sector. One of its most popular offerings is the LoomSphere. In general, the LoomSphere system has been developed to reduce energy consumption by means of direct air introduction to the production area where high humidity is required at the warp. Main advantage of the LUWA solution is the laminar flow air direct displacement air outlet. The LUWA air outlet placed on top of the loom provides laminar flow low speed airflow to the warp by means of a filter mat placed inside the outlet. The laminar flow assures a steady airflow without turbulences that cause induction of air mixed with low humidity ambient air. If instead a high-speed air outlet is used, the humidity at the warp becomes neither controllable nor stable, which would adversely affect the quality and steadiness of the fabric. Other advantages of the LUWA system in general are the maintenance friendly rotary air filter with the nozzles mounted outside the filter drum. High-speed air washer made of non-corrosive material, reliable high efficiency direct driven axial flow fans.

A.T.E. has been in the forefront of the Indian textile industry providing latest technology solutions and serves as a one window solution provider across the textile value chain.
