The document benchmarks the energy performance of spinning units that produce different types of yarn. It compares the energy consumption per spindle across units for various processes like preparation, ring frame, compressor and humidification plant. Synthetic yarn units tend to have higher energy consumption than cotton-based units. The document shows the range of relative performance between best and worst units for each process to identify opportunities for improvement.
