Orders of textile machinery grows - ACIMIT

Orders for Italian textile machinery grew over the second quarter of 2010, which closed with an overall index of 159.5 points for the period from April/June, amounting to a 35% increase compared to the previous quarter.

In market terms, the orders index processed by ACIMIT, the Association of Italian Textile Machinery Manufacturers, indicates a 40% increase abroad and a 5% increase in Italy.

Commenting on the data, Sandro Salmoiraghi, President of ACIMIT, stated that “the growth in orders is a satisfying element, but the recovery has more or less equally rewarded other machinery manufacturing Countries as well, so that competition on international markets is even fiercer than in the past.”

Forecasts for the third quarter of 2010 provided by producers indicate an essentially stable situation in all segments for Italy’s domestic market. More consistent signs of optimism are coming from foreign sales.

“The orders coming in over the next three months” affirms Salmoiraghi “will be decisive in understanding whether the recovery marks a real reversal of trends.”

ACIMIT (Association of Italian Textile Machinery Manufacturers) is a private national body that gathers Italian textile machinery companies producing more than 80% of the entire Italian textile machinery production, and some associated members (consortia, technical schools, technical magazines, research centres).

The first veteran spinning machines on the Rieter website

Some months ago Rieter launched a search for the oldest Rieter spinning machine. Rieter is offering the owner of the oldest spinning machine still in operation a trip to the ITMA in Barcelona including the flight and a two-night stay. A prize draw will award Swiss quality watches to two further owners of veteran Rieter spinning machines.

This campaign has met with considerable interest, and Rieter is now presenting the first candidates on its website.

Rieter is looking for the machine with the most years of service which is still currently in daily use in a spinning mill to produce yarn from fiber, from bale opening to spinning machine, manufactured by Rieter, Schubert & Salzer or Ingolstadt Spinnereimaschinenbau.

The first e-mails with pictures and details of spinning machines have already reached Rieter. The most interesting machines are described below:

In China 26-year-old E 7/5 combers and E 5/3 combing preparation machines are still in production at Qiaoguang Textile Co. Ltd. These machines are still in good condition and the customer is full of praise for their quality, and especially their wear resistance.

Rieter has received an e-mail from El Salvador with pictures of various drawframes. Our customer Hilosa (Industria de Hilos) has operated SB 851, RSB 951 SB 2 and SB 10 drawframe models since 1978 und is still very satisfied with the reliability of these machines.

No-heat, extra power carpet cleaning machines for upholstery

Daimer Industries, a trans-national supplier of 50 Hz industrial cleaning equipment, has shipped a 17.2 bar unheated series of carpet cleaning machines. The new XPC-9250U integrates an upgraded 17.2 bar pump, two oversized storage tanks and a highly portable cleaning head.

"We upgraded the 50 Hz pumps on our base model XPC-9250U to offer maximum power to non-U.S. customers who need an unheated machine," explained 50 Hz systems spokesman Matthew Baratta. "These carpet cleaning machines provide maximum versatility for cleaning both standard and delicate rugs."

No-Heat, Extra Power Carpet Cleaning Machines for Upholstery
Each 17.2 bar XPC-9250U starts with an upgraded 17.2 bar pump. The standard model of this unit comes with a 15.2 bar pump.

The extraction/vacuum subsystems on the upgraded carpet cleaners still provide air flows rated for 94.4 LPS and water lifts rated for 381 cm. The advanced carpet extractors are manufactured without heating systems.

Creditors of Mayer & Cie in Albstadt bankruptcy plan

The creditors of the manufacturer of circular knitting machines, Mayer & Cie. GmbH & Co. KG in Albstadt-Tailfingen, overwhelmingly approved of the insolvency plan submitted by Insolvency Administrator Wolfgang Bilgery. 720 creditors with claims in the amount of 82.497.893,76 € were represented during the creditors’ meeting this present Thursday at the local district court in Hechingen. Among these, 709 creditors with claims in the amount of 82.282.996,00 € agreed to it. This corresponds to an approval by heads and by claim sum of 99 %. Therewith the insolvency plan is accepted.

Insolvency Administrator Wolfgang Bilgery expressed himself on Thursday afternoon in front of the staff about the result of the voting.

KG will receive a quota of 8.5 % on their ascertained claims.

The partners of Mayer & Cie. GmbH & Co. KG further invest fresh money of 2 Mio. €. According to Bilgery’s statement the banks contributed significantly to the recapitalization of Mayer & Cie. The Deutsche Bank, die Baden-Württembergische Bank and the Commerzbank formed a pool under leadership of the Deutsche Bank and are ready to provide Mayer & Cie. the funds required for the continuation of the business operations. Bilgery also emphasized the contribution of the staff and the “IG Metall” (the trade unions for the metal working industry).

ROJ upgrades production with SIPLACE SX machines

Italy’s ROJ Srl, a manufacturer of weft feelers, sensors and control units for modern weaving machines, has selected the new SIPLACE SX platform to streamline its production of electronic modules. The company, which is known for its lean manufacturing concepts, manufactures lot sizes ranging from 50 to 10,000 units.

ROJ uses the SMT capacities at its Biella location for the build-to-order production of its world-famous weft feeders with their highly sensitive sensor technology as well as for the contract manufacture of industrial automation electronics. In a systematic selection process, SIPLACE prevailed against competitive equipment in all critical categories such as performance per square meter, feeder capacity, actual placement speed for ROJ-supplied sample products, high-mix setup concepts and handling flexibility for exotic and odd-shaped components.

Since the beginning of this summer, Italy’s ROJ Srl, a subsidiary of globally active textile machine maker van de Wiele Group, manufactures its electronic assemblies on SIPLACE SX placement machines.

The two new SIPLACE SX2 machines form the company’s third production line; one machine is equipped with two SIPLACE CPP Multistar placement heads, while the other machine has one SIPLACE CPP Multistar and one SIPLACE TwinHead. This configuration provides the ability to process a wide range of products quickly and flexibly, which is one of the major features of the SIPLACE SX platform, since there is a production requirement of approx. 150 different products with lot sizes ranging from 50 to 10,000 units.
