The Karastan Cash Sales
A united effort by textile man
agement and employees to
substantially curb their com
panies’ energy consumption is
proving successful, according to
a recent report released by the
Department of Commerce.
The report shows that the
textile industry, which ranks
10th in annual energy
consumption by U.S. industries,
achieved a 6.6 percent improve
ment in energy efficiency during
the final six months of 1975 over
the same period in 1973.
The report said the
improvement resulted from
energy conservation techniques
and higher production levels.
Some steps taken by textile com
panies to boost efficiency
include careful scheduling of
production, insulation of facili
ties, use of heat recapturing
equipment, lowering thermo
stats, alteration in production
techniques, and reducing speeds
of company-owned vehicles.
At Fieldcrest, R. I. Wilkerson,
company energy coordinator,
said that a number of energy
conservation measures have
been employed. These include:
—cutting off all non-essential
equipment and lighting
—making maximum use of
return air in air conditioning to
save re-heating and re-cooling
—scheduling processes ef
ficiently to save energy
—making maximum use of
outside air for cooling in air
conditioning systems
—repairing all leaks to
prevent leakage of steam, water
and air
—installing heat exchangers
wherever practicable to extract
heat from waste water

Ray Pruitt receives his certificate of achievement from Frank

and an official of Cone Mills Corp.

According to Mr. Wilkerson,
these efficiency measures have
accounted for an important
reduction in energy usage and
will continue to be employed
along with other conservation
measures to further streamline
energy usage.
About 80 textile companies of
all sizes participate on a regular
basis in a monthly energy
conservation reporting program
conducted by the American
Textile Manufacturers Institute
(ATMI) — the industry’s central
trade association.
According to the Commerce
Department report, the textile
industry was one of the earliest
participants in the government’s
industrial energy conservation
program.
Superdoffers
Get Awards
Fieldcrest’s two Superdoffers
have received awards for their
fine showings in the National
Superdoffer Tournament held in
Textile Hall in Greenville, S.C.
in April.
Phillip Dickerson, Bedspread
Mill, the company’s top warp
doffer for the second time, and
Ray Pruitt, Draper. Sheeting
Mill, the champion filling doffer,
were awarded certificates of
achievement.
The presentations were made
by the American Textile Manu
facturers Institute (ATMI) at
the National Superdoffer
Awards Banquet at the Sheraton
Center in Charlotte June 2.
The award to Mr. Dickerson
was presented by S. C.
Armitage, a member of the
National Superdoffer Committee
and an official of J. P. Stevens &
Co., Inc. Mr. Pruitt was given
his award by Frank Starling, a
Cone Mills Corp. official and also
a member of the committee.
Fieldcrest’s two champions
had earlier received special
trophies as well as financial
awards from their respective
mills and the general
management of the company.
All doffers who participated in
the 1976 National Superdoffer
Tournament were personally
honored at the banquet. Each
company champion was
introduced and pictures were
made for publicity and for
souvenir photos for each doffer.
In the second National Super
doffer Tournament sponsored by
the ATMI, 55 doffers — 34 warp
and 21 filling — participated.
Phillip Dickerson won his first
round but lost in the second
round. Ray Pruitt likewise was
victorious in the first round but
in the second round was defeated
by Sammy Williams of Reigel
Textiles who went on to win the
national championship in the
filling division.
