Tissues industry
Introduction
In the tissues industry, particularly in weaving mills, spinning factories, and textile finishing plants, production generates a significant amount of airborne dust, fibers, and textile particles. These residues gradually accumulate on beams, ventilation ducts, lighting fixtures, and production machinery.

Risks linked
to accumulated dust in tissues industry
1. Increase in production losses
Air pollution and the accumulation of residues in textile factories have a direct impact on the quality of the fabrics produced. Due to the presence of airborne particles such as fibers, dust, and other impurities, textiles in the manufacturing process are exposed to a risk of contamination throughout production.
When these particles settle on fibers or fabric rolls, they can affect their appearance, texture, and cleanliness. This contamination may result in visible defects such as stains, irregular weaving, or color variations, compromising the uniformity and overall quality of the final product. For fabrics intended for high-end or technical applications, these alterations can render the materials non-compliant with customer requirements and industry regulations.
2. Air quality Deterioration
The excessive presence of textile dust in the ambient air poses a significant health risk within textile production facilities. These fine particles, generated during the processing of both natural and synthetic fibers, remain suspended in the atmosphere and are inhaled daily by workers, thereby increasing the health hazards they face.
Prolonged exposure to these residues can lead to various respiratory issues, such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, or lung infections, particularly in the most vulnerable workers. Textile dust can also cause skin irritations and allergic reactions, manifesting as redness, itching, or inflammation of the airways.
3. fire hazard
A gradual buildup of textile fibers presents several critical safety risks for your facilities. Specifically, the high concentration of textile particles in the air becomes a major fire hazard. Whether natural or synthetic, textile fibers are highly flammable and can easily catch fire when exposed to a heat source, spark, or even simple friction. This can lead to rapid, uncontrolled combustion, spreading the fire throughout production areas and significantly increasing the danger to both your employees and equipment.
This risk is even greater in environments where ventilation or air conditioning systems might spread these flammable particles through the air, further increasing the chances of a fire starting. Therefore, it’s crucial to maintain a clean and safe working environment by taking effective preventive measures to limit the accumulation of these dust particles.
4. Increase in maintenance costs
The buildup of dust and textile fibers on equipment can have serious consequences on the operation of machinery in a textile factory. When these residues accumulate on machine components (such as motors, filters, belts, or ventilation systems), they can cause blockages, overheating, and even mechanical failures.
As a result, this can lead to an increase in unplanned maintenance interventions and a reduction in the lifespan of the machines.
