SSM exhibited six machines at the ITMA Asia in Shanghai, China from 16th – 20th June 2014. Large interest was generated by the numerous product launches: DURO, NOVA and TG1-AT. SSM was very pleased by the high response at ITMA ASIA. SSM will also exhibit at Cinte Techtextil China in Shanghai on 24 – 26 September 2014 and the new SSM DURO-TW precision package winder will be exhibited.
ITMA ASIA
This year’s show attracted around 100’000 visitors from 102 countries, whereas attendance increased by about 7 per cent in comparison to the previous show in 2012. The Swiss based SSM AG, the inventor of the electronic yarn traverse system, showed six machines out of which five of them were shown in Asia for the first time. 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, which was 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. The advantage of the TG1-serie is the cost efficient production of high quality yarn. Undoubtedly the two SSM textile machines, which before the exhibition had been announced as “Surprise, surprise..!”, attracted the largest attention: The SSM DURO-TW precision winder for all technical yarns up to 50’000 dtex offers a new level of flexibility and winding quality in one machine; thereby ensuring the fulfilment of all customer requirements. Secondly the NOVACS conventional single covering machine was introduced. 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 shown machines in Shanghai. Machines for Dyeing / Rewinding, Air Texturing, False Twist Texturing, Sewing Thread Finish Winding and Conventional Covering applications had been on the display during the show. Besides these exhibited applications, SSM can also provide solutions for Air Covering, Draw Winding, Assembly Winding and Yarn Singeing.
CINTE TECHTEXTIL
SSM also announced their participation to the forthcoming CINTE in Shanghai, China, from September 24th to 26th 2014. Cinte Techtextil China is Asia’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. SSM will show one brand new machine for technical yarns and display a machine for a rewinding application during the show. The unique characteristics of tailormade 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 assembly winder DURO-TD allows the plying of multiple ends/yarns; independent of them being of the same type or completely different. Optional intermingling guarantees 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. As the market leader in these fields, SSM enjoys an excellent reputation. Furthermore SSM maintains a worldwide service network that ensures the training of their customer’s staff and the maximum return on customer’s investments.
