The Switzerland based SSM Schärer Schweiter Mettler AG, the inventor of the electronic yarn traverse system, has displayed its latest technology at the ITM 2016 textile machinery trade fair that took place from 1-4 June in Istanbul.

The company presented 12 applications, showing its latest innovations for the first time in Turkey after their introduction in ITMA 2015 in Milan.

According to the manufacturer, its technology has attracted great attention and the company was overwhelmed by the number of high quality visitors. Many interesting discussions concerning open projects and the latest SSM-equipment were reported.

On display

Machines for the following applications were on display in Istanbul:

• Dye package winding/rewinding (including technical yarns)
• Assembly winding
• Air texturing
• False twist texturing
• Sewing thread finish winding

Besides the presented applications, SSM also offers the new X-Series (PSX-W/D, PWX-W and TWX-W/D) for dye package winding/rewinding and assembly winding, as well as the well-known machines for air covering, draw winding, yarn singeing and conventional covering.

Machinery under spotlight

High interest was recorded for the SSM XENO, the new SSM modular winding machine platform that combines dye package winding, rewinding and doubling applications along with three different winding technologies. Complying with the growing automation demand, all the XENO machines can be equipped with an automatic doffer system.

Another eye catcher was the SSM DP5-T air texturing machine with fancyflex for the production of slubs and thick and thin effect yarns. The SSM Giudici TG2-AT and TG2-FT air texturing and false twist texturing machine with individual automatic frontal doffer and the DURO-TW and DURO-TD for technical yarns, as well as the TK2-20 CT and TK2-20 KTE for sewing thread also received visitors’ attention.
