significant energy savings for cus-
tomers”.
Habasit offers end-to-end solu-
tions, with a range of specialized
belts and tapes for textile plants.
Habasit tangential belts are de-
signed to cut power consumption
to the minimum. Its polyester power
transmission belts, such as the TC-
20/25EF and the new TC Quantum
leap types (TCxxQ), deliver high
performance yarn processing while
consuming 4-6 per cent less power
compared with the conventional
polyamide products.
Habasit’s W-8 polyester spindle
tape has a lower bending resistance
which saves up to 8 per cent of ring
frame motor energy consumption.
This is expected to result in savings
of an estimated 15 kWh a year per
spindle. Conversion campaigns at
over 2,000 sites have demonstrat-
ed that conversion from V-belts to
Habasit’s polyester-based TC-flat
belts results in energy consumption
reductions of 4-6 per cent.
Mr. Subramaniam says: “Our
technologies are very relevant to
the Indian market as the focus is
more on energy saving and effi-
ciency. All our products are devel-
oped keeping in mind the end-user,
particularly in markets like India”.
Habasit is also catering to the re-
quirements of non-textile industries.
The company is one of the largest
suppliers of printing blankets for
the printing industry. Almost 80-90
per cent of the TPU printing blanket
market is covered by Habasit.
India has its important role in
Habasit’s global business, contrib-
uting to nearly 10 per cent of the
