With the aim of reducing water consumption used in manufacturing jeans, the Spanish company Jeanologia, which is highly specialized in garment technologies, has come out with an innovative solution in the form of G2 and Twin HS technology. It is a fact that 420 million cubic metre of water, 6 billion kW/h of power and 9,00,000 tonnes of chemicals are used to produce 6 billion pairs of jeans annually, with the new technology addresses the environmental concern through its 3e technology (ecology, efficiency and ethics).
The G2 finishing process machine is an ozone generator using electrical current to charge oxygen molecules in the incoming air and produce ozone for denim and shirts finishing. Air from atmosphere is transformed into a blend of active oxygen and ozone called ‘plasma’. This plasma is used to age garments. The plasma is transformed into purified air before it is returned to the atmosphere. The process takes between 30 seconds to three minutes, depending on the intensity of the colour required. It is available for use on a variety of fabrics, including man-made fibres, cellulosic, cotton and viscose.
The machine has a capacity of 50 kgs to wash about 3000 jeans in a day. G2’s programmable software system automatically adjusts gas concentrations to reflect load conditions. It guarantees an ultimate vintage look without water or chemicals, providing for 62% savings on kW/h, 67% on water, 85% chemicals and improving production time of 85% and can thus provide a saving of $0.44 per garment.G2 can provide casting effect, remove back-stains and may lose indigo without detergents. The machine can be used for bleaching without using a bleaching agent, also eliminating the yellow from the bleach look.
