So, when Taiwan-based Everest Textiles announced plans to open a U.S. sports fabric weaving plant in North Carolina that would employ more than 600 U.S. workers, a focus on efficiency was key \u2013 from construction of the facility, all the way to how yarn rolls would be moved and loaded into looms.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Everest announced its plans to open a U.S. sports fabric weaving plant in 2016. The Taiwanese company took over a vacant, 400,000-square-foot industrial building in Forest City, North Carolina, creating an operation that supplies customers and brands like Nike, Columbia and Patagonia with finished fabrics that are turned into innovative active wear and sports apparel.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>While the mid-Atlantic region was once home to many textile operations, globalization and low-cost labor in Asia had forced nearly all the region\u2019s textile mills to move operations overseas. Everest\u2019s plans to set up a weaving operation in the U.S. required scale and efficiency to profitably supply top brands with the latest fabrics. As a result, the Everest Textile facility incorporated more than 600 looms when it first opened in late 2017, with hundreds more planned as operations scaled up.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4910\" style=\"width: 1630px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4910\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4910\" src=\"http:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Y0A4449.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1620\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Y0A4449.jpg 1620w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Y0A4449-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Y0A4449-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Y0A4449-345x230.jpg 345w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Y0A4449-440x293.jpg 440w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Y0A4449-578x385.jpg 578w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Y0A4449-488x325.jpg 488w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Y0A4449-570x380.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1620px) 100vw, 1620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-4910\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The design of the NRGmaster crane incorporates an energy chain power system that requires no additional ceiling or overhead clearance.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Everest needed a simple and efficient method to feed its looms with yarn and fabric rolls, also known as beams, which can weigh 2,000 lbs. or more. As in its other operations around the world, Everest Textile required an overhead crane to move the yarn beams. Nick, Everest\u2019s buyer for its Forest City plant, contacted Mike, of Charlotte, North Carolina-based Handling Systems Inc., to design and install a crane and hoist system that would meet the textile company\u2019s unique needs.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>As a crane system designer and engineer with more than 25 years of experience, Mike assumed that a C-track festoon crane would likely meet Everest\u2019s needs. But when he visited the old industrial mill Everest planned to renovate, there was a problem.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ceiling was low,\u201d Mike said. While the height was 20 feet, there was also a 24-inch reduction due to water piping and other conduit running across the ceiling. Once Mike saw that, he knew that a normally less expensive festoon crane would prove to be just the opposite, leading to a cascade of unexpected costs, from expensive structural changes to the building to additional heating, ventilation and air conditioning costs. The reason, Mike said, is due to the design of C-track festoon cranes.<\/p>\n<p>Traditional C-track festoon crane systems are supplied with power via cables secured in small trolleys that run inside a track. With this design, the cables hang below the bridge girder, typically by several feet. In facilities that offer plenty of overhead clearance, festoon cabling causes no issues. In facilities with lower ceilings or limited clearance, however, Mike said even a few inches can mean the difference between a workable solution, and a crane that breaks down from festoon cable snagging on pipes, wiring, shelving and equipment.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Solution<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Facing the issue of limited clearance, HSI turned to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/item\/rm-materials-handling-inc\/\">R&amp;M Materials Handling<\/a> for an NRGmaster crane, which Mike said is the ideal solution for retrofit facilities like Everest Textile\u2019s where height restrictions make installing a standard festoon crane cost prohibitive.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4911\" style=\"width: 1630px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4911\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4911\" src=\"http:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Y0A4518.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1620\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Y0A4518.jpg 1620w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Y0A4518-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Y0A4518-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Y0A4518-345x230.jpg 345w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Y0A4518-440x293.jpg 440w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Y0A4518-578x385.jpg 578w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Y0A4518-488x325.jpg 488w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Y0A4518-570x380.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1620px) 100vw, 1620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-4911\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fantasia said the crane has saved Everest time and led to high levels of productivity.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe NRGmaster has a clean design and it\u2019s very easy to install,\u201d Mike said. \u201cAnd <a href=\"http:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/item\/rm-materials-handling-inc\/\">R&amp;M<\/a> is just a good experience. Anytime we have the choice, we choose <a href=\"http:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/item\/rm-materials-handling-inc\/\">R&amp;M<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The design of the NRGmaster crane incorporates an energy chain power system that requires no additional ceiling or overhead clearance. Its power and control cables are enclosed in a flexible \u201cenergy chain,\u201d which rests in a guide channel that is fastened to the web of the bridge girder. The free end of the chain bends into a U-shape and connects to the hoist tow arm, while the other end fastens to the channel. This enables the chain to roll back and forth inside the guide channel as the hoist travels from one side of the bridge girder to the other.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>While HSI installed an NRGmaster at Everest Textile with 2-ton capacity, Mike said he\u2019s used the crane in heavier industry applications because it can be ordered with a capacity up to 80 tons. The NRGmaster can also accommodate two hoists per bridge beam and, Mike said, it\u2019s quiet.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat makes a big difference for safety in a busy plant,\u201d Mike said. \u201cI could stand next to you and have a quiet conversation when it\u2019s running and we would have no problems.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>HSI also outfitted the NRGmaster with a Racon3 radio control unit. A handheld remote control, Mike said the Racon 3 dramatically improves safety and productivity over older cranes that have to be operated from a fixed point, like an overhead cab, while requiring a second person to be in communication with the crane operator about load movement and placement.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4912\" style=\"width: 1630px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4912\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4912\" src=\"http:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Y0A4443.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1620\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Y0A4443.jpg 1620w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Y0A4443-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Y0A4443-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Y0A4443-345x230.jpg 345w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Y0A4443-440x293.jpg 440w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Y0A4443-578x385.jpg 578w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Y0A4443-488x325.jpg 488w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Y0A4443-570x380.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1620px) 100vw, 1620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-4912\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The crane&#8217;s power and control cables are enclosed in a flexible \u201cenergy chain,\u201d which rests in a guide channel that is fastened to the web of the bridge girder.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The Racon 3 has an ergonomic design that provides operators with one-hand usability through the integration of a joystick element.

In fact, Everest is so pleased with the setup that plans call for a second NRGmaster to be installed when production begins in a mezzanine level of the plant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Low-cost labor in developing nations makes textile manufacturing a low margin business.
