Read how a woven bag company improved production speed and lowered costs by investing in a used circular loom, optimizing their manufacturing process.
A mid-sized woven bag manufacturer in Southeast Asia faced rising operational costs and capacity constraints using older, manual weaving equipment. To stay competitive and meet growing demand for FIBC bulk bags and woven sacks, the company sought a cost-effective solution to upgrade their production line.
The company needed a machine capable of producing high-quality tubular fabric with increased speed and less downtime. Budget restrictions made purchasing a new circular loom impractical.
After evaluating multiple options, the company purchased a used circular loom equipped with semi-automatic features including adjustable weave density and automated warp stop motion. The loom was refurbished and tested before installation.
Installation completed within two weeks
Staff training on machine operation and maintenance
Integration with existing fabric finishing lines
Metric | Before Upgrade | After Upgrade | Improvement |
---|---|---|---|
Fabric production speed | 25 meters/min | 38 meters/min | 52% increase |
Machine downtime | 15% | 5% | 67% reduction |
Operational costs per ton | $210 | $150 | 29% cost savings |
Product quality complaints | 8 per month | 2 per month | 75% reduction |
“The used circular loom allowed us to significantly increase output and reduce costs without the heavy investment of a new machine. Its reliable performance and ease of maintenance have been vital for our growth.”
Investing in a used circular loom proved to be a strategic move, enabling the company to meet market demands efficiently. This case exemplifies how refurbished textile machinery can deliver substantial benefits in cost and productivity.
