Luwa’s Legacy of Innovation
Founded in 1935 in Switzerland, Luwa began as a pioneer in process climate control and filtration for the growing textile industries. Over the decades, the company expanded its expertise beyond natural fibers into synthetic fibers, technical textiles, and nonwovens. With global facilities in India, China, Switzerland, Singapore, Turkey, and the USA, Luwa has established itself as a world leader in the field of air engineering.
The Next Generation in Filtration
For decades, rotary drum filters have been the industry standard in nonwovens manufacturing. While effective, these filters present significant challenges, including large space requirements, higher initial costs, and increased maintenance.Multi Cell Filter (MCV): Optimized Space Utilization and Energy Efficiency
One of the primary disadvantages of rotary drum filters is their large footprint, which limits valuable production space and increases facility investment costs. The MCV addresses this issue by offering a compact design that occupies roughly 70% less floor space than traditional drum filters. This space-saving advantage allows manufacturers to optimize facility layout and increase production capacity without requiring additional square footage.
Beyond its compact design, the MCV is engineered for energy efficiency. It significantly reduces power consumption, leading to lower operational costs and decreased carbon emissions. With energy efficiency being a key concern for modern manufacturing facilities, the MCV’s intelligent control systems ensure that energy usage is minimized without compromising performance.
Rotary Pleated Belt Filter (RPB): Enhanced Filtration Performance and Reduced Maintenance
The Rotary Pleated Belt (RPB) filter system, specially engineered to efficiently / safely handle complex dust like SAP ( Super Absorbent Polymer ), which is a prime component of Soft Disposables & Hygiene product line. It occupies roughly 75% less space than a traditional drum filter. Unlike traditional drum filters, which require frequent cleaning and maintenance, the RPB employs an advanced pleated belt design that maximizes surface area for improved dust and fiber capture. This results in cleaner production environments, less airborne contamination, and improved worker safety.
The pleated belt’s self-cleaning mechanism further reduces maintenance downtime, ensuring continuous operation with minimal manual intervention. This innovative approach to filtration not only enhances air quality but also extends the lifespan of the filtration components, making the RPB a cost-effective and sustainable solution for Soft Disposables & Hygiene Applications.
Luwa’s Commitment to a Greener Future
As a part of the Nederman Group, Luwa is deeply committed to sustainability and reducing its environmental impact. The company aligns its initiatives with Nederman’s vision of becoming a carbon-neutral entity by 2030. This includes reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 50%, optimizing logistics, and incorporating circular economy principles into product development.
Luwa’s sustainable approach extends to its filtration solutions. The MCV and RPB filters are designed not only to enhance efficiency but also to contribute to eco-friendly manufacturing. By reducing energy consumption, optimizing space usage, and minimizing waste, these filtration systems support manufacturers in achieving their sustainability goals while maintaining high production standards.
The Carbon Fibre Blade Fan
Traditional Axial Flow fans in manufacturing environments are often bulky and energy-intensive. Luwa’s carbon fibre blade fan provides a lightweight, highly efficient alternative that maximizes airflow while minimizing power consumption.This advanced fan design not only reduces operating costs but also contributes to lowering carbon emissions. Additionally, the carbon fibre construction enhances durability and resistance to corrosion, ensuring a longer service life with minimal maintenance. By integrating this fan into the air management systems, Luwa continues to be a leader in sustainable air engineering solutions.
Shaping the Future of Soft Disposables / Hygiene & Nonwovens Filtration
Luwa’s introduction of the Multi-Cell Filter (MCV) and the Rotary Pleated Belt (RPB) system is a significant advancement in Soft Disposables / Hygiene Process filtration technology. By addressing the limitations of traditional rotary drum filters, these innovations provide manufacturers with more efficient, space-saving, and sustainable solutions. Combined with Luwa’s commitment to environmental responsibility and the revolutionary carbon fibre blade fan, these advancements underscore the company’s dedication to driving the nonwovens industry toward a more efficient and sustainable future.With Luwa’s leading filtration and air management technologies, manufacturers can achieve higher production efficiency, improved product quality, and reduced environmental impact—all essential factors for success in today’s competitive industrial landscape.
