Italian textile machinery manufacturers

The textile machinery industry requires great investments in research, deep know-how, long experience in textile, mechanic and electronic fields. Italy is today ranked as the second largest producer of textile machinery in the world and the technological level of its production is considered of the highest standard even by its competitors themselves. In 2008, the production of Italian textile machinery amounted to 2.0 billion Euro, 79% of which (worth 1.6 billion Euro) exported to about 130 countries. Asia (43%) is the main export area, followed by Europe (34%), South America (11%), Africa (7%) and North America (5%). Some of machinery manufacturers are highlighted here for the interest of our readers. Amina Baqai. Ed.

Loptex offers different types of SORTER system according to the production rate required and permitting the installations in various location of the spinning preparation line. The Tandem Sorter monitors two cotton blends by means of two integrated independent channels.

• Downward material flow.
• Ideal position after two side by side fine openers.
• Simultaneous two quality processing.

Sonic system detects all the white and transparent contamination and optical system detects any colored contamination. High speed pneumatic valves secure rejection of foreign fibres. Speed meter  measures the online speed of the cotton flocks.

The result of decades of experience in the spinning sector for the production of slub yarn (coarse and fine yarn) – Multi-count – Multi-twist with performances at production level and of very high quality. The CSTU can be applied to any type of ring frame and open-end, both to new machinery and to the existing one.

Yarn types that can be obtained: normal, slub yarn (coarse and fine), multi-count with twist variation, multi-twist. Direct control of feed shafts (top and middle), besides the production of slub yarn, the draft can be set too. The delivery shaft (front roller) can be controlled, by adding a motor to set the twist and to change it according to the count processed. Motors digital-control (through CAN-BUS), allowing a very high precision on draft and twist control.
