SSM looks back on successful spring fairs

The Swiss textile machinery manufacturer SSM attended three exhibitions in spring: Textile Asia in Karachi, Pakistan; Indo InterTex in Jakarta, Indonesia and Techtextil in Frankfurt, Germany. SSM shared the booth with their representatives and other well-known European suppliers. In Pakistan SSM was supported by their agent AHS Textile, in Indonesia by PT DKSH Indonesia and at Techtextil in Frankfurt by ELMATEX.

During the shows SSM could meet and discuss with many existing customers and also new, potential customers, showing interest in their products. Especially the brand new SSM DURO-TW, showed at Techtextil in Frankfurt, gained great attention.

The 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.

For assembly winding, the DURO-TD allows the plying of multiple ends/yarns, independent of them being of the same type or completely different. The DURO-TD is also available with optional intermingling for single and multiple yarns.

Besides of the new introduction in the area of Dye Packages / Rewinding machines, SSM could provide solutions in Air Texturing, False Twist Texturing (SSM GIUDICI), Air Covering, Draw Winding, Assembly Winding, Yarn Singeing, Parallel Winding and Sewing Thread Finish Winding.
