The company's new air-jet spinning machine Lybra Smartspinner® has been developed with an original spinning technology to serve the customers in specific applications of textile production: knitting, home textiles, sunshades.

Air-jet spun yarn has a soft and smooth character, perfectly adapting to creating functional & fashionable fabrics.

One important technology of LYBRA Smartspinner® is the MULTI BLEND SYSTEM.

This onboarding system allows to use two separate slivers, instead of a pre-blended one, directly fed into the spinning unit; inside the spinning chamber, the fibres are mixed together producing a final yarn of same aspect and features as the standard one. Moreover, the system can modify the composition of the blend directly from the machine PC, without changing the feeding slivers. This allows a reduction in production costs and an optimization of the preparation lines. Savio can obtain different material blends but also different colour mixtures. This application will be highly appreciated especially for knitting and home textile applications, producing melange knits and fabrics.
