The Swiss based SSM Schärer Schweiter Mettler AG, the inventor of the electronic yarn traverse system, continued their tradition of trend setting with the presentation of breakthrough technologies. SSM showed new solutions for cost effective winding and yarn processing. Thanks to the new introduced DIGICONE ® 2 winding algorithm, an increase of up to 20% on dye package density with unchanged dye-recipes is possible.
