Switzerland based leading textile machinery manufacturer SSM Schärer Schweiter Mettler will show its latest assembly winder for technical yarns at the upcoming Techtextil India international exhibition that takes place from 24-26 September in Mumbai.

Techtextil is India’s leading fair for technical textiles and nonwoven products. The show is the subsidiary of Techtextil Germany and covers twelve application areas, which comprehensively span the full range of modern textile technologies.

New level of flexibility

The unique characteristics of tailor-made high performance yarns is helping such yarns to substitute other classical materials in large range of applications; thereby continually increasing the usage of technical textiles and consequently their consumption.

Despite this overall positive scenario, production lot sizes can vary greatly; from large ones for standard yarns to small ones for specialties, managing such variances poses a challenge for any producer.

The SSM DURO-TW precision winder for all technical yarns up to 50’000 dtex is said to offer a new level of flexibility and winding quality in one machine; thereby ensuring the fulfilment of all customer requirements.

Technical properties

The machine is said to allow the plying of multiple ends/yarns; independent of them being of the same type or completely different.

Optional intermingling is designed to guarantee loop-free twists, as well as optimal unwinding during twisting. The ability to run closed precision winding enables higher package densities, thereby increasing the knot-free length, the company reports.

Market leader

The Schärer, Schweiter and Mettler companies merged in 1989 to become SSM. In 1999, Stähle-Eltex and SSM merged to develop air texturing technology and to strengthen their leadership position in the marketplace.

Since 2012, SSM Schärer Schweiter Mettler has taken over the activities of Giudici, Italy. Giudici’s strong market position in the field of false twist texturing of high quality fine count Nylon yarns, an application that complements SSM’s established leadership in air texturing, further expands SSM’s business in the chemical fibre processing industry.

SSM provides machines for air texturing, false twist texturing (from SSM Giudici), air covering, draw winding, assembly winding, sewing thread winding, yarn singeing and conventional covering.
