Covering 100,000 sq.m, SHANGHAITEX 2009 will host 9 exhibition halls, including Hall E1-E2 for spinning, non-woven tech-textile machinery , Hall E3 for weaving machinery , Hall E4 for spare parts and accessories , Hall W1-W2 for knitting & hosiery machinery , and Halls W3,W4 and W5 for printing, dyeing & finishing machinery and textile chemical. Such scale boasts the biggest global exhibition for textile machinery and accessories in 2009 and will serve as the first purchase platform for many textile product manufacturers both at home and from abroad.

Since being launched in 1984, SHANGHAITEX has been held on 13 occasions. After over 20 years of development, SHANGHAITEX has evolved into one of the most influential professional exhibitions in Asia.

Since the second half of 2008, China's textile exporters have been influenced by the global economic recession to different extents. However, the overall textile industry maintains its advantages and the Chinese government is also promulgating a series of favourable policies to support and promote the development of textile enterprises. All these moves have in turn brought confidence to many textile machinery manufacturers from both home and abroad who believe that China is developing from just an economic giant into an economic superpower.

Doyens acclaim branding campaign for Nonwovens Industry even before its launch

www.nonwovensupplier.com - 365 days online branding campaign for nonwovens Industry is a bold initiative by Fibre2Fashion to cater to the field of nonwovens through its thick presence worldwide. It has been able to garner a very good response from nonwovens manufacturers, machinery manufacturers and marketers as well as consultants.

This has come in no small measure to the goodwill generated by Fibre2Fashion through its 10 years of valuable service offered to the industry. The campaign will start from 31st March 2009 for one full year. Companies have slowly but surely begun to realize the power of the internet and in turn the influence and impact that online branding is able to generate across the globe, beyond any demarcated geographical boundaries.

Dr. PR Roy, a leading Management Consultant and a former group chief executive of Arvind Mills got highly impressed with the commitment and dedication of fibre2fashion’s team behind the campaign.

Congratulating the team, he appreciated Fibre2Fashion's brilliant concept of bringing underneath one common umbrella all those concerned in a rapidly growing sector like nonwovens to look at their current and future business with the support of authentic data / information. He further added that despite the present economic meltdown, the bold and pragmatic industry leaders are expected to choose their next steps forward on the basis of such meaningful support. He wishes Fibre2Fashion all the success in this endeavor.

Ms. Scholken, Sales Manager at RML Raynworth Marketing Ltd, one of the leading machinery marketing companies from Switzerland got abundantly convinced with the concept and its deliverables. In a happy tone, she said, “This is the third time that we have participated in an internet based activity”. Continuing with her review, she added by saying, “The most impressive part in this campaign is the branding across ministries, associations and companies globally, which they are looking at since long.

A separate location on the internet, www.nonwovensupplier.com is a 365 days online branding campaign designed for nonwoven fabric manufacturers, converters, machinery manufacturers and consultants. One of the distinct features of this campaign is the creation of comprehensive directory of suppliers to the nonwovens industry. It would serve as a ready reference for companies to source fabric, machinery or take an expert opinion in the field of nonwovens.

Product Showcase is another exclusive offering wherein companies can display their products online throughout the year. The same will be optimized through a team of expert optimizers across major search engines worldwide. As a part of its campaigning process, fibre2fashion will circulate 2000 copies of this comprehensive directory to ministries, associations andcompanies worldwide.

INDUS 90 Series WaterJet looms INDUS 90 Series WaterJet looms

The development of WaterJet loom, INDUS, was guided by the theme of Speed, Strength & Stability. The INDUS series of WaterJet looms has been created from the accumulated technical knowhow of Alidhra Weavetech through years of serving the weaving industry.

Speed

The INDUS series is unrivalled with no competition when it comes to speed. It's the first and the FASTEST Water-jet ever offered by any Indian manufacturer in the world. The indegenously designed loom has undergone heavy R&D work to create the most suitable and stable motions for continuous running of the machine at high speeds.


Strength

The robust frame of the machine weighs more than 3000 Kgs. The extremely powerful high-torque, T3 main drive of the machine is the key feature in the SPS (Start-mark Prevention System) deploying enough torque & strength to prevent start-marks. Excellent workmanship and closely monitored precision assemblies of the machine along with in-depth study of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of the machine frame has helped design the most suitable structure that will give strength when and where needed.

Effect of Spinning Rubber Cot Shore Hardness

'Effect of Spinning Rubber Cot Shore Hardness on Yarn Mass Uniformity and Imperfection Levels - Part 1'

Abstract:

The effect of nine different spinning front line cots ( Synthetic rubber cot ) varying only in shore A hardness (56,63,65,66,68,75,83,85& 90) on 100% cotton ring spun yarn has been investigated. The change in cotton yarn properties like mass uniformity, unevenness %, Imperfection levels (in all class) with progressive change in shore A hardness has also been reported. The count and process parameters from opening and cleaning machines that covers blow room & carding then breaker & finisher drawing, speed frame and up to ring spinning kept identical. As one progress from lesser shore hardness (56) to higher shore hardness (90) the yarn unevenness % and imperfection levels gradually increases. Linear regression technique is used to analyze the data.(Linear regression is a form of regression analysis in which the relationship between one or more independent variables and another variable, called dependent variable, is modeled by a least squares function, called linear regression equation. A linear regression equation with one independent variable represents a straight line.)
