Switzerland based SSM AG, the inventor of the electronic yarn traverse system, exhibited six machines at the ITMA Asia that took place in Shanghai, China, from 16-20 June 2014.

According to the manufacturer, considerable interest was generated by the numerous product launches, including DURO, NOVA and TG1-AT.

This year’s show attracted around 100,000 visitors from 102 countries, recording an attendance increase of around 7% in comparison to the previous show in 2012.

Cost efficient production

For the first time in China, SSM presented their TW2plus-W fastflex precision package winder – the economic solution for dye package winding as well as rewinding.

From SSM Giudici came the TG1, exhibited in a special hybrid execution: one side as TG1-FT manual false twist texturing machine and the other side with the newly introduced TG1-AT manual air texturing machine.

According to the company, the TG1-serie contributes to the cost efficient production of high quality yarn.

Highlights

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, ensuring the fulfilment of all customer requirements.

The NOVA-CS conventional single covering machine was also introduced during the fair. The machine is designed for the production of high quality elastic covered yarns ranging from fine to medium final counts.

Finally, the SSM TK2-20 CT / KT, a finish winder for sewing threads, concluded the range of machines shown in Shanghai.

Applications

Overall, the machines for the following applications were on display for visitors to evaluate:

  • Dyeing/Rewinding
  • Air Texturing
  • False Twist Texturing
  • Sewing Thread Finish Winding
  • Conventional Covering

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.

With HACOBA as its partner, SSM is able to offer a complete range of sewing thread finishing machines. The company can also offer a complete portfolio for processed yarns.

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, will further expand SSM’s business in the chemical fibre processing industry, the company believes.
