Revolutionising textile sustainability with Klübersynth MEG 4, Klübersynth GEM 4, and Klübersynth GH 6 Series.

The textile industry operates under high mechanical stress, with machines running continuously at peak loads. Excessive friction and energy losses are inevitable challenges that can lead to increased operational costs and reduced efficiency. Klüber Lubrication’s Klübersynth MEG 4, Klübersynth GEM 4, and Klübersynth GH 6 Seriesare engineered to combat these challenges by optimising lubrication, ensuring:

  • Lower energy consumption in rapier weaving looms and gearboxes
  • Reduced friction, enhancing efficiency and overall machine performance
  • Residue-free operation, preventing buildup and minimising maintenance downtime

By switching to advanced synthetic lubricants, textile manufacturers can achieve measurable improvements in performance while contributing to their sustainability goals.

Measurable energy savings in textile manufacturing

The impact of optimised lubrication goes beyond smoother operations—it leads to significant energy savingsacross various textile applications:

  • Cooling tower gearboxes achieved energy savings of 2-3 per cent with optimised lubrication
  • Processing machine gearboxes recorded energy reductions of 5-6 per cent, improving overall efficiency
  • Energy consumption reduced by up to 4 per cent in high-load textile machinery
  • Lower heat generation, improving machine durability and operational stability
  • Extended lubricant life, reducing maintenance interventions and material waste

These results, validated in an Energy Efficiency Project at a textile manufacturing plant, highlight the potential for textile businesses to lower their carbon footprint while improving operational efficiency.

Compliance with Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR)

As sustainability regulations tighten, textile manufacturers must align with frameworks such as SEBI’s Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR), which requires the top 1,000 listed companies to report on their sustainability initiatives. By integrating Klüber Energy Efficiency solutions, textile manufacturers can:

  • Strengthen regulatory compliance
  • Improve corporate sustainability ratings
  • Attract responsible investors who prioritise environmentally conscious operations

Supporting net zero targets in textile production

With decarbonisation becoming an industry-wide priority, Klüber Energy Efficiency solutions play a crucial role in supporting Net Zero commitments. Our lubricants help textile manufacturers:

  • Lower power consumption in high-load textile machinery
  • Enhance machine longevity, reducing waste and maintenance needs
  • Align with Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) and corporate Net Zero roadmaps By adopting sustainable lubrication practices, textile manufacturers can reduce emissions and work toward a greener, more sustainable industry.

High returns, low investment

Sustainability doesn’t have to be expensive. With an investment of less than Rs 10 million, textile manufacturers can achieve significant energy savings and a payback period of less than a year. Transitioning to Klübersynth MEG 4, Klübersynth GEM 4, and Klübersynth GH 6 Series

provides:

  • Reduced electricity consumption and carbon emissions
  • Extended machine life with better lubrication
  • Lower total cost of ownership through optimised efficiency and reduced maintenance
