ESL can knit over 5 million sweater annually using its almost 600 automatic knitting machines primarily of the world’s leading brand, Shima Seiki.These machines occupy 5 fully air-conditioned floors running in 2 shifts, at its LEED Certified Factory Unit 2. Our machines gives us the capability to knit any pattern & styles possible in minimum time with the best quality & highest accuracy.
Advanced Multigauge Automatic Knitting Machines
Shimatronic CAD Program Machine
ESL Uses Shimatronic APEX Design System to create the knitting programs. The system supports everything from planning and design, colorways and realistic fabric simulation to 3D virtual sampling. It contributes to sustainability by eliminating waste from the fashion supply chain.
Semi-Auto High Speed Linking Machines
ESL uses UNIMAC high speed direct drive dial linking machine with high precision system and variable speed control.
Automatic Winding Machines
Automatic Winding Machines are used to accurately wind & rewind the yarn so they pass through perfectly at knitting. Built in vacuums prohibits yarn dust contamination.
Automatic Cup Seamer & Master Overlock Machines
Exacta CupSeamers are Elastic, Fast & used for high quality make up of fully fashioned knitted outwear. Exacta CupSeamer can reach a production capacity of 400 garments in 8 hours shift, maintaining the quality standard of the traditional linking machines.
Exacta Master Overlock machine is used to join knitwear parts with the utmost precision, especially for those garments which require patterns, stripes or colours matching.
Overlock, Bertack, Sewing, Button & Flatlock Machines
Our sewing & special function attachments are of the most renowned & trusted Juki brand, helping us to complete these operations with excellent precision & quality.
SUPPORTING ADVANCED MACHINERIES
Needle Detector Machine
Hashima Metal Detectors provide us with the perfect reliability we need in detecting any small metallic objects such as the head/tip of a needle before the garment enters the metal free zone at the final stage of packing.
Needle Bed Cleaning Machine
We use H2G Needlebed Washing Machine for ecological cleaning of to maximise the performance of the mechanics of our advanced automatic knitting machines.
Air Compressor
This CE, ASME & UL Listed powerful energy efficient Screw air compressor with induction motor, supplies high-pressure moisture-free dry air to 5 floors branch throughout via stainless steel pipes. These pipes connected to air guns at regular intervals, are used to remove yarn dust from the automatic knitting machine bed to prohibit contamination.
Generating Steam with Industry Leading Boilers
ESL uses 3 industry leading boilers:
Two 1-ton Fulton Gas+Diesel boilers
One 2-ton Youngjin Incineration Boiler (South Korea)
These boilers are backed by an online UPS for uninterrupted power supply & steam pressure for the irons & dryers.
The efficient Incineration boiler converts biofuel energy from wastage garments parts into high pressure steam to power irons & dryer. Steam & Gas flow meters is connected to the system to determine the efficiency of the boilers.
Fast High-Safety Cargo Lift
ESL Unit-1’s reliable Diao Cargo Lift & Unit-2’s fast, energy-efficient KONE cargo lift is used to rapidly transfer goods, minimising time losses.
The installed Auto Rescue Device automatically opens the Certified Fire-Rated Doors at the nearest floor in case of power loss – ensuring utmost safety. The Auto Voltage Regulator maintains lift performance during power fluctuations.
Central VRF Air-conditioning
Five floors of ESL’s LEED Certified Unit 2 holding the Automatic Knitting Machines are fully VRF air-conditioned.
The system is Energy Efficiency Certified with Smart Management & all CFC Free Equipment. It is geared with Digital Variable Multi (DVM) Outdoor Units, Fresh Air Exchangers, Energy Recovery Ventilators, Outdoor Air Filtration, Dual Digital Inverters, Dust Filters & Smart Temperature Control.
Building Management System (BMS)
Everbright’s Green factory uses the smartest BMS technology in the world with advanced Direct Digital Controllers (BACnet over IP) to control the Indoor Environment.
The BMS Intranet network is connected with Flow and Energy Multifunctional Meters, recording demand & consumption.
Electricity Consumption is measured from the machines, air conditioning & lighting to create a data representation.
Timer Controls & Occupancy Sensors are used for Energy Efficient, Environment Friendly SLED Lighting.
The Water Consumption is measured with flow meters integrated to the supply & waste lines. The BMS controls water overflow & tracks Overuse.
Air Flow Meters & Sensors measure Temperature, Humidity & CO2.
The Efficiency of the Power Generator is determined by measuring the fuel consumption using flow meters.
Steam & Gas flow meters are connected to the system to determine the efficiency of the boilers.
The BMS uses Advanced Application Programming Tools as well as Graphics Building & Animations to continuously analyse the data to maximise utilisation of energy & minimise waste to diminish our carbon footprint.
Uninterrupted 3 MEGA Volts-Ampere Dedicated Power Station
Everbright Sweater Limited is powered by one of the most powerful dedicated electricity connection & advanced substation in the country, using only the best & most reliable equipment assembled from around the world.
This Three Million Volts-Ampere Power Station is built with two transformers: 3MVA 33kV & 11Kv with OLTC, 33kV Current & Potential Transformer & ABS complete with VCB HT Switchgear, ACR, Protection & Control Panel, Earthing System, Outdoor SPC H-Pole, CT & PT metering, Power Factor Improvement Plant, Surge Protection & LPS.
Advanced Busbar Trunking System
To ensure utmost safety, efficiency & longitivity of our electrical equipment, we have used the very best busbar trunking systems throughout the factory instead of standard wiring to supply power from the 3 Mega Watt Substation to the MDB, power transfer to all floors & from the distribution boards to the production machines, air conditioning & SLED lighting channels.
All Busbar Trunking Systems are EAE Technology branded. The equipment is Fire Resistant as well as IEC, CE & TSE Certified for Safety & Efficiency.
Online UPS Power Supply
All Automatic Knitting Machines, Boilers & Fire Alarm Systems are supported by floor-wise Online UPS to ensure that the power is uninterrupted & stable at all times.
Backup Power Generator
The 2MVA dedicated power station ensures Everbright has electricity at all times even when the entire surrounding area is out of power. However, for rare cases when there is a fault or the grid is being maintained, Everbright Power Generators to ensure adequate backup electricity.
The efficiency of the power generator is determined by measuring the fuel consumption using flow meters.
15000W Solar Panels Power Integration
ESL uses green solar power in its grid utilising photovoltaic cells from GSPV. We aim to expand our power generation from
renewable resources over the coming years.
Certified Electrical Equipment
The best & safest electrical equipment from ABB & Schneider have been used for all Electrical Distribution Board Equipment.
