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.

Automatic winder with manual bobbing feeding and manual package doffing, completely assembled in Shandong ISTMA Textile Machinery, is especially suitable for the Chinese market among other Asian markets, who request high end yarns quality, high productivity, low energy consumption, low maintenance requirement, and lower investment cost. All winding process parameters are completely controlled by main PC, as well as by single heads’ auto diagnosis monitoring.

High productivity together with yarn and packages quality level can be obtained thanks to flexibility and intelligent cycle, as to controlled dynamics and personalized of the roller acceleration. Parts direct movement and suction fan with special design allow a energetic consumption reduction.

Electronic anti ribbon device, with self-adjustment linked to operating parameters, avoids useless accelerations and, moreover, the effectiveness of the system is guaranteed by Direct Drum Driving.

Working amplitudes and frequencies are set on the Inspector Control; also active during cycle acceleration; patterns on the package are minimized for a better use in the subsequent processes; axial displacement can also be used for dyeing packages.

Significant increases in winding efficiency thanks to a reduction in down times during the end piecing/bobbin changing cycle and cycle repetition are achieved by means of individual motorization and control of each single function.

• Independent movement of the package yarn suction nozzle.
• Independent movement of the bobbin yarn suction nozzle.
• Independent movement of the splicer.

No kinematic motion links the three functions, so if one of the two suction nozzles fails to hold the yarn, it must repeat its cycle, while the other waits holding the yarn. The cycle is completed with the splice only when both nozzles have brought the two ends of yarn into position.

All aspects of the winding process such as yarn quality, package quality, production quality, control of all peripheral units and energy consumption are controlled by the computer.

The Computer has a large touch screen and printer. The data is displayed in a descriptive and graphical form. Ethernet interface for connection to higher level information systems.

The peripherals’ program can be updated directly on the PC (also with remote loading). Self-diagnosis of all the electronic functions. Signalling of the off-standard qualitative parameters.

Spindle Monitoring System: Each winding head is equipped with an alarm monitoring system. The operator is notified in real time of the ongoing alarm.

Savio Macchine Tessili operates in the textile machinery sector since 100 years, dealing with projecting, producing and marketing yarn finishing machines ranging from wool, cotton, linen and silk to synthetic fibers.

POLAR and ORION automatic winders, together with GEMINIS, GEMINIS S and COSMOS two-for-one twisters allow entrepreneur to dispose of yarn finishing complete line.

The modern open-end FLEXIROTORS 3000/Duo-Spinner rotor spinning frame leads the spinning sector to a high innovation product. For product range completions ESPERO VOLUFIL still today represents the only completely integrated machine for shrinkage and winding of HB acrylic yarns. u
