SSM Schärer Schweiter Mettler, the inventor of the electronic yarn traverse system, has launched eight new products in the winding and doubling segments and one in the air-texturing at the ITMA Asia + CITME exhibition that was held in Shanghai, last month.

The show, which hosted 1,673 exhibitors from 28 countries and economies, was the world premiere of the Switzerland-based company’s new SSM X-Series.

Debut products

After the successful introduction at the ITMA in Milan, SSM showcased the company’s latest technologies and inventions for the first time in Asia. Special focus was on the new XENO-platform with the enhanced DIGICONE 2 winding algorithm, enabling a 10-20% increase on dye package density with same dyeing recipe, according to the manufacturer.

For the first time ever, the SSM X-Series were displayed to the public. The machines (TWX-W/D, PWXW and PSX-W/D) are the most economised winding solution, reduced to the max yet maintaining highest flexibility for any cost efficient winding application, the company reports.

Applications

Machines were presented for a variety of applications, including dye package winding/rewinding (including technical textiles); assembly winding (doubling); air texturing; and sewing thread finish winding.

Besides the displayed applications, SSM offered machines for false twist texturing, air covering, draw winding, yarn singeing and conventional covering.
