Are Indian Textile Machinery
Manufacturers lagging
behind research?
India is ready for its biggest textile machinery expo, INDIA
ITME 2022. Many industry leaders are going to participate
in the exhibition to showcase their best-performing
products and new innovations in the field of textile
engineering.
India, as an industrial marketplace, welcomes all global
experts, but we believe that Indian machinery
manufacturers, like their foreign counterparts, should
contribute more in the field of textile engineering.
This year, India imported machines worth $1678.84
million. This accounts for a 53.60 percent increase over the
previous year’s data. Many of these imports came from
China and Germany, with others coming from Japan,
France, Italy, and Switzerland. While the exports were up
by 37.42 percent, India exported machinery worth of just
$469.75 million. The major customers for Indian
technology were from countries such as Bangladesh,
Turkey, Nepal and USA.
European countries, as their own textile industry is slowing
down, are turning to major textile producers such as India
and China to sell their machinery. The European
machinery’s superior engineering technology enables
Indian textile producers to prduce at a high-speed rate and
at a low cost. However, the lack of development in textile
engineering in the country, takes a massive toll on the
Indian economy as the majority of rupee flow out of the
country.
To address this major challenge, Indian engineering teams
should consider conducting research on advanced
European machinery along with their own study to better
understand the problems confronting textile producers of
Indian and International markets. The research and
development will help in advancement of the textile
manufacturing technology in the global marketplace.
In short, if the Indian textile machinery manufacturers
continue to lag behind their foreign counterparts, the
industry will soon become stagnant in terms of
technological advancement.

DECEMBER 2022 www.textilevaluechain.in 13
Full Of Opportunities:
Take Part In B2B Meetings,
CEO Conclave At
India’s Biggest Trade Show!
Every four years, India hosts “India ITME 2022,” a
distinguished and highly anticipated mega technology
and engineering B2B exhibition for textiles, to meet
the machinery and technology needs of the textile
industries of India and its neighbouring South East
Asian and Middle Eastern nations. The first major
event following the epidemic, the 11th edition of
the India ITME, will take place from December 8–13,
2022. Due to the pandemic, this four-year event has
come back after six years.
India is hosting this eagerly awaited event for the first
time in Northern India at the top - notch IEML
Greater Noida, one of the largest exhibition venues in
India with a space of 235,000 square meters. Greater
Noida, an industrial area that serves as both the
entrance to the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor and
a critical location for IEML, is situated at the junction
of the Western and Eastern Dedicated Freight
Corridors (DMIC). It is close to Noida, one of the
biggest industrial townships in Asia, and is located in
India’s National Capital Region, New Delhi.
This B2B event will feature 1600+ machines, 68
countries, and 1000+ exhibitors who are ready to
create a high-voltage, goal-oriented contact in order
to draw business leads and new chances in India, a
bustling and sizable market.
The Indian textile industry’s growth has been “slow
and steady.” In order to remain strong and proud,
India’s textile industry has worked to develop modern
capabilities while preserving centuries-old traditions
and skills. This industry has faced challenges from
speed, fierce price competition, and a young, instant
fashion industry brought on by the development of
modern technology.
The India ITME Society has been instrumental in
enabling the nation’s textile industry to access
technologies from around the world and develop its
manufacturing and exporting capacities. Since 1980,
ITME shows have been especially beneficial for small
businesses since they allow them to view and access
technological advancements in textile technology
from around the world without incurring significant
costs. The development of their own textile industry
was a major focus of India ITME events, which also
established themselves as a premier event for
South-East Asian nations.
“India ITME 2022” has brought a rich array of
concurrent programming, workshops, and
conferences, offering an action-packed week for
industry members.
Key topics for the further growth of the Indian textile
industry with the latest technology and the
government’s policy vision for boosting textile
machinery manufacturing will be discussed at the
“CEO Conclave.”

Overview of Sustainability in Textile / Apparel
Industry
The much discussed ‘Global Climate Change’ is no
more a topic for discussion. It has become a reality
now with disruptions in global temperature and
occurrence of unseasonal rains and floods and storms.
The early October temperatures in the cold countries
of Canada and North America are touching unusual
Day temp. of 20-24°C vis-a-vis past normal of 12-16°C.
The simple reason is extreme carbon footprint around
Earth, which comes from manufacturing industries
including textiles, caused mainly due to the use of
solid fuel emissions and also due to burning of crops
and solid and liquid effluents.
The main resources like water, solid fuel energy and
of course land, are not renewable and are undergoing
depletion. It is therefore high time for the global
manufacturing industries especially Textile/Apparel
sector, to work on Sustainable processes using new
and innovative technologies, recyclable raw
materials and sustainable manufacturing process to
create products of longer life cycles.
In true meaning, Sustainability in Textile and Apparel
sector will mean and require increased focus towards,
the concepts of >> Reuse >> Recycle >> Renewal /
Regeneration of usable products via ‘post-consumer’
waste reprocessing.
REVIEW OF KEY PROCESSES IN TEXTILES & APPARELS
MANUFACTURING
Raw Materials: All textile products like fabrics,
apparels, home textiles and industrial textiles are
created from different type of raw materials, mostly
fibers, that are both natural and synthetic or manmade
types. Natural fibers like Cotton, Wool, Jute, Hemp are
Bio-degradable and easy to recycle too.
However, natural fibers require extensive use of land
and water, but are decomposable and/or recyclable
and can be used to create renewable textile
products. The fibers are finally and eventually
converted to consumer textiles by the textile mills and
under a series of manufacturing processes that
consume large amount of power, hence use of solid or
agri-fuels. Also, large amounts of water and a variety
of chemicals are used. On an average, to create 1 Kg
of wearable textile product, we require approximately
150 Ltr. of Water and in case of fashion products like
Denim jeans it is about 200 to 300 Ltr. of water for per
Kg, on weight basis.
THE MAIN PROCESSES IN CONVERSION OF FIBERS TO
CONSUMER TEXTILES ARE:
Yarn spinning: To create twisted yarns for use in
making woven or knitted fabrics, or home textiles.
Fabric making: To create woven fabric via Weaving and
create knitted fabric via Knitting process; and create
Industrial textiles via the new processes of Nonwoven

manufacturing techniques.
Fabric Dyeing or Printing: To give colors and designs
to consumer fabric to create Apparels & home textiles
and eventually make the wearable textiles/apparels
through sewing, finishing and making up.
What are core Sustainability issues? vis-a-vis Devil
attributes for Textile Raw Materials
BACKGROUND: The Textile manufacturing Value chain
starts from the core raw materials that are generally
Fibrous and are both Natural fibers e.g.: Cotton, Wool,
Silk, Jute, Hemp, others; and also, Manmade or
Chemically produced fibres from the crude oil
derivates. These are mainly Polyesters, Acrylics,
Nylons, Spandex, Aramide filaments, and few similarly
produced fibres. Viscose fibers/filaments in different
varieties are derived from natural forest base, but
consume Land, Forest cover, chemicals and water
when converted for use.
Devils for Natural RM: Natural fibres originate from
land cultivation or from farm animals like Sheep, Goat,
Rabbit, Camel. To sustain their global output, 2 Key
Resources are: Land, used for growing or grazing and
Water, used for crop irrigation, and continued use of
large quantities of water in the manufacturing/
chemical processes.
Devils for Synthetic RM: Synthetic or manmade fibres
are produced via chemical inputs and the processes
for which the basic source is Petro derived polymers.
Such manufacturing also requires huge quantity of
solid fuels, water and variety of chemicals. In addition,
the Biodegradability or the decomposition rate of such
polymeric fibres is thousands of years and have
serious negative impacts on landfills and ocean
resources.
Further, to create usable apparel or industrial textile
products, the downstream manufacturing process
also consumes huge number of resources like water,
power and more chemicals.
The Fast fashion cycles generates more demand
recurring production, and post-consumer waste. It
is clear that Slow fashion supports both recycling of
post-consumer textiles and, thus sustainability.
The core processes in textile manufacturing creating
needs for ‘Sustainability Technology’ applications.
Mostly RM /Fibers are supplied to Textile mills for
further conversion, in cleaned and pressed Bales,
quality-wise, for use in textile manufacturing
processes.
Cotton is the thirstiest crop in terms of water
consumption, it is also labour intensive and a
pesticide-using crop, whereas linen, hemp and viscose
use considerably less water and nearly no pesticides.
The Core conversion process are as below:
1] GINNING AND YARN SPINNING:For conversion of
fibers to yarns or threads, for further fabric
formation.
2] FABRIC WEAVING/KNITTING: For converting spun
yarns to usable but raw fabrics via weaving or knitting
as per the structure and design etc. Color is
introduced later via Dyeing and printing processes.
3] FABRIC DYEING/PRINTING: Are Value adding
process for adding Colors, as per the chosen design,
and create fabrics for their ultimate use of apparel
making or for home textile or, as industrial textiles.
4] GARMENT MAKING & PRINTING: Once garments
are made from textile fabrics such garments can also
be dyed/ printed or embroidered. In case, of denim
fabrics, there is special laser treatment to surface.
All the above conversion creates their inherent
process waste and which can be Recycled back. It
creates high water demand and effluent load in Yarn/
Fabric & garment Washing, Dyeing and Printing.
Scope of Sustainability related RM Corrections
RAW MATERIAL STAGE CORRECTIONS via new
Technology & Processes.

It is advised to grow high-yielding cottons of
varieties that consume less of water or can be grown
on semi-arid lands with rain water. This would help to
conserve water for more of food and livestock needs.
Also, for cotton, it is important to shift to organic
cottons that do not require extensive use of chemicals
or pesticides, with use of local livestock manure etc.
For synthetic fibres, the major globally consumed
fibres are polyester or viscose types.
While Viscose fibers require huge forest cover of trees
such as Eucalyptus, and large volumes of chemicals
like Sulphuric acid, salts and water; their consumption
has led to the depletion of the Forest cover for such
trees in countries like Canada, India etc. New fibers
like ‘Lyocell’ and ‘Renew’ are products of green
technologies.
Polyester fibers and filament are derived from the
polymers produced from petrochemical derivatives,
and Textiles of such materials take long to decompose
or biodegrade.
There are now ‘Recycling’ technologies that can
regenerate such Poly or PET materials from the
post-consumer waste of PET drinking bottles, and also
from regeneration of Poly fibers from the consumer
used and disposed garments. Indian Oil has taken up
a initiative to reuse 20 million used and discarded PET
water bottles to regenerate Poly fiber to produce
uniforms for their 0.3 million workers.
Such recycled Poly fibers are now much in demand
and vogue by the MNC apparel brands like Zara, GAP,
H&M. And subject to global certification, called
G R S label, to establish they are genuinely recycled /
renewed.
This is a major Step for reducing Poly waste into
landfills or oceans and for Regenerating the ‘same
use’ consumer product.
ROADMAP TO SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES IN TEXTILE
INDUSTRY
PROCESS WISE:
1. Fiber to Yarn Conversion
FOCUS TO BE: Low RM Wastage, Reuse, Recycling,
Newer technologies for blending, Regeneration of
Polyester from Pet bottles.
2. Yarn to woven or Knit Fabric
Reuse of yarn and fiber waste from manufacturing
process and re-cycling it with or without blending with
the fresh or virgin fibers.
3. Fabric to Garment Conversion
Reuse of rejected fabrics and cut Garment waste
from manufacturing process; and its regeneration and
blending with the virgin fibers.
4. All processes to have the Objective to Reduce
water intake, energy consumption and to improve
biodegradability.
5. Use of NEW TECHNOLOGY: e.g. OE Spinning in Yarn
production and Soft Flow /Nitrogen gas Dyeing for Low
water use in Fabric Dyeing especially of heavily
polluting Indigo dye based Denim fabric and increased
use of Digital printing like DTF and DTG. Reducing the
Fast fashion to Slow one, will further support above
mentioned technologies.
SOME TEXTILE TECHNOLOGIES TO DRIVE
SUSTAINABILITY IN COMMON MANUFACTURING
PROCESSES IN TEXTILE PRODUCTION.
There are many newly available contemporary
technologies to enhance the Sustainability efforts and
practices for many core processes in Textile
manufacturing. These cover the Core process from
fiber to Apparel production:
1] For GARMENT MANUFACTURING: e.g.: Lesser use
of laser for Denim effects and greater use of Digital
printing, DTF and DTG, in case of Fast Fashion.
2] For YARN SPINNING AND FABRIC
MANUAFCTURING: recycling of Cotton waste in Ring
Spinning and OE process, and its further utilization as

24
RM for Medical Cotton and Non-woven fabrics.
3] For VALUE ADDING DYEING AND PRINTING
PROCESS: the enhanced focus to be on minimizing use
of Fossil fuels e.g., replacement coal by Gas; and also
adopting New types of dyeing technologies like
Nitrogen or water less dyeing to substantially reduce
the Effluent load on external environment.
4] For REDUCING/REVISING CONSUMPTION OF RAW
MATERIALS BY REGENERATION OF POST
CONSUMSER TEXTILES: e.g. via Garment tearing up,
to regenerate fiber and produce yarns and fabrics
such textiles are now in demand.
KEY TAKEWAYS FOR ENHANCED AND BETTER
SUSTAINABILITY: THE WAY FORWARD TO BE
The Core pillars and Road Map of Sustainability
practices are to be with Key Take Away as below:
• To adopt and increase the proactivity and greater
use of Recycling textile wastes, and to Regenerate
fibers from post-consumer or used textiles. Recycled
Poly fiber is great success…
• To adopt and increase the Alternate sources of
energy generation e.g., Solar power for running the
machinery and/or natural Gas versus solid fuel/coal
for Boilers to produce Steam for Dyeing.
• To renew and replace the used-up Forest cover, e.g.
for creating pulp resources for Viscose fiber industry
and also to recycle the viscose used apparels to
regenerate usable Fiber.
• To adopt high yield Cottons, exceeding 1000 Lb
output per Hectare land and minimise the
consumption of huge amounts pesticides cotton
growing, via going for organic cottons.
• To adopt and practice Low water consuming
technology like soft flow dyeing for fabric dyeing, and
Digital Printing for printed fabrics; and new coming up
Nitrogen dyeing for high polluting and water
consuming Denim Jean manufacturing. And use of ZLD
plant with RO recycling.
• And finally, to move back to Slow fashion with vis a
vis Fast fashion. In case of Polyester uses, to adopt the
available technologies to regenerate Fiber from used
PET bottles.
Textile Supply Chain- ‘When And
Where To Buy, That Is The Question’
Yogesh Gaikwad
Director, SDC International
Manufacturing of textiles is a lengthy and resource
intensive process at least in current and common
circumstances. Pre-pandemic life of sourcing agents
wasrelatively‘better’.ThepandemicandtheUkrainian
war has changed everything. From the products
manufactured to the choice of supply chain everything
has gone under some kind of review. Some influencers
for this review process may be:
1. The demand for more local manufacturing.
2. Products need to have a touch of local culture from
local makers.
3. Uncertainty in prices of raw materials (volatility in
COVER STORY

crude oil and gas prices).
4. Demand for Design innovation that are frequent
and reflect the local customers inspirations.
5. There is a visible tilt towards products that are not
based on fossil fuels.
6. Awareness about chemical toxicity even in
emerging markets.
7. Life expectancy in emerging markets is improving
and demand for products with ‘green’ manufacturing
is increasing.
8. Youth now perceive protection of earth resources as
their primary responsibility.
These are some influences among others.
The manufacturers are now having to adapt to the
challenges and they have :
1. To be more careful about choice of design.
2. To have a larger base of suppliers for similar
products.
3. To have minimum steps of manufacturing.
4. To have source that would supply target final and
assembled product not just the components.
5. To adapt to new chemical and social compliances as
demanded by governing bodies and brands and
retailers.
6. To keep an eye on the new innovations that can
have major influence on how the products are sold
and manufactured.
7. To accelerate the process of digitalisation ,
automation and use of artificial intelligence in
manufacturing and selling process.
Among the major influencers is the impact of colour,
patterns and design in shaping a merchandise. The
customer preferences change with various influences
around them. This could be :
• Global / International : Climate change, global
inflations ,global effects of war, global pandemics, rise
or fall in international energy prices etc.
• National / ground zero level : Social health of the
surrounding, economics of the region, recent
environmental calamities, seasonal effects, etc.
• Local/ personal : Health issues that effect what you
wear, body types, professional needs , travel
frequency, exposure to pollution , personal economic
factors etc.
Sustainability , circularity and regenerative farming to
be used as a core tools in restricting the damaging
effects of climate change. The supply chains are been
rewired to keep an organisations mission in meeting
the environmental and social compliance targets.
The Supply chain need to cleaned for toxic chemicals
and also get the efficiency to the global levels.
Manufacturers who do not meet the productivity and
energy efficiency should be encourage to do so by
economic incentives like more bulk orders etc. My
opinion is that alone Chemical compliance cannot
clean the supply chains. There is too much reliance on
certification by testing and compliance audits without
understanding the efficiencies of the manufacturers.
Cheap labor, cheap non renewal fuel sources ,
government subsidies are been used to hide operation
deficiencies which arise from lack of skilled personnel
on the shop floor.Major losses in efficiency are also
due to human errors, lack of planning in departments
and poor communication between different
departments at the manufacture. Automation of the
process can bring transparency but this is not
substitute for cordial relationships among leading
professionals of various departments.
I propose :
• Energy audits that are realistic and adhere to the
global standards in productivity.
• Water audits to evaluate the water used per kg of fabric
delivered from folding department.
• Worker skill measurement by evaluating their
understanding of the role they play.
• Use of automatic dosing systems , record keeping of all
manufacturing process by artificial intelligence. Process
cycle that provide optimum use of resources.
• Establishing a independent research department to
evaluate various process innovations and their
adaptability plans in production.
I end with a dream where every child breaths air as pure as
Mother Nature provides and all humans like in a environment
of harmony and peace with our surrounding ecosystem.

LRT: Using Technology For
Catering Customer Needs!
1. How has been the journey in manufacturing since
the beginning?
LRT was incorporated in 1974 and we started
manufacturing Ring Travellers in collaboration with
a Swiss company. Initially we started manufacturing
record finish Travellers. As we wanted to be a global
company, we came out of the collaboration in 1999
and ever since then we have developed many new
profiles and finishes. Today we are the largest
manufacture of Ring Travellers in the world catering
to over 6000 spinning mills in over 45 countries. Our
Travellers are used in over 60 Million spindles
worldwide.
2. What are some of the latest products introduced
in the last few years?
We have developed many new products in the last few
years for different applications. For compact, we have
over 6 different profiles in various finishes for our
customers to choose from. Many of them have been
developed in the past few years. Many factors
determine selection of travellers in compact. Major
ones are - compacting system, spindle speeds,
material twist per meter given and counts processed.
We are proud to inform that we have the maximum
range for compact and can proudly call ourselves -
Compact Specialists.
All our finishes have gone for process changes which
give improved life compared to the past. Our R&D
is working on continuous improvement and this has
been our strength.
Apart from Travellers we have launched new
Manual and battery operated Fluff cleaning guns
recently, which is a big hit.
3. Automation is the latest in all industries. How has
your company done in this section?
We are one of the very few companies who offer
Traveller inserting devices and Travellers in Auto
packing for decades now. This saves on manpower
costs as well as time for insertion. It also reduces the
wastage of Travellers in a big way compared to manual
insertion. We have further developed on the existing
devices and new models will be launched in the
market shortly.
4. What features have your company put on the top
list of priority? What are the results?
We take pride in the fact that we are a “One stop
source for total Traveller solutions”. We have the
widest range of Travellers in our basket catering to
all count ranges , spindle speeds and materials being
spun now. We have a team of technologists to offer
solutions to our customers for productivity increase,
quality improvement and get the best out of our
Travellers. After sales service is something we pride

on and one of the reasons we are global leaders in
this field. We have stock points in most countries we
operate in. Availability and quick delivery anywhere
in the world is our USP. All these systems we have in
place helps us to be a dominant player in this industry.
During Covid, there were various challenges from the
supply side . We were able to manage these difficult
situations with ease due to our stock points in
different places. Our pre planning also helped us
greatly during this period.
5. Sustainability & circular economy. What is
your company contribution to these?
For Synthetics we have also developed new profiles.
With sustainability and the circular economy taking
centre stage now , the usage of recycled synthetic
products have increased and will further be on the
rise. These processes require specialised Travellers
which we have developed which reduces the slow
speed time as well as increase the life of the Travellers
which are the main challenges here.
6. What are your shares in exports? What are
the future plans in this field?
In value terms our exports are more than our sales in
India and presently we export to over 45 countries. In
most of these countries we are the market leaders. We
would like to further enhance our share in these mar-
kets.
7. Looking ahead, what strategy does your company
plan to tackle competition?
Our strength has been to anticipate the future
requirements of the customers and develop products.
We had done this successfully in the past for compact
and recycled products even before the boom
happened in these sectors. We will continue to do this.
Also we will further strengthen our distribution net-
work globally , introduce new products which will de-
light the customers. We will continue to work
closely with the customer and support them to achieve
their goals. We are sure if we do this well we would be
able to further grow and improve our share.
Government To Replace ATUF Plan
With PLI-Like Scheme: To Provide
Funding Up To 50 Crore
To encourage home improvement and the production of textile
equipment, the government is likely to replace Amended
Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (ATUFS), its flagship
incentive programme for capital investments in textiles and
clothing, with a programme similar to the production-linked
incentive (PLI).
The funding in plant and equipment of one crore to fifty crores
for MSMEs and more than fifty crores for non-MSMEs could be
the cutoff for textile manufacturing models to be eligible for
subsidies under the proposed scheme. Once the threshold
investment in modernizing through the installation of
benchmarked technology has been made, incentives may be
given depending on the revenue gained.
Weaving, knitting, and spinning are only a few of the
textile divisions that may receive incentives of up to 60%
depending on funding and turnover norms.
According to officials, the textile value chain’s weak links are
being identified, and a statement will likely be made in the next
Budget 2023–24. An official said, “The ATUFS is being examined
and a new plan may be unveiled soon.”
ATUFS was announced in January 2016 with a budget of 17,822
crore with the goal of attracting about 95,000 crores in new
investments. Up until 2022, it has contributed to the creation of
nearly 3.5 million jobs. The plan expired on March 31, 2022.
After conducting an “expertise hole evaluation,” the government
identified 60 crucial components that are used in the textile
industry but aren’t produced locally and that India wants to
produce.
Only the goods produced by the registered company might be
eligible for the proposed scheme’s incentives, and turnover from
employment activities in specific segments could be considered.
The PLI programme for clothing made of synthetic fibres (MMF),
MMF materials, and products made of technical textiles was
approved by the government last year for a total of 10,683 crores.
The second iteration of the PLI for textiles is now in
development, and it is likely to include incentives for the
production of clothing, home textiles like blankets and bed
spreads, and textile accessories like lace, buttons, and zippers.

Inspecting fabrics after weaving is old school. With USTER®
Q-BAR 2, smart weavers can pinpoint
defects during fabric formation. It’s the right way to reduce material losses and minimize manual
checks. When it comes to fabric quality issues, prevention is better than cure.
The whole fabric is automatically monitored – warp, weft, selvage and leno – and faults are
identified immediately. LEDs signal defect locations to the weaver, with information shown on
the control unit touchscreen. It’s automatic inspection, in-process and instant, so weavers can
react to prevent long-running or repeating faults.

High-Speed Air-Jet Looms To Offer Bright
Future For Weavers At Sircilla Textile Park
The Sircilla Textile Park’s weavers are planning to buy
high-speed air-jet looms, and they have huge dreams.
They claim that this will enable them to weave cloth of
the highest quality and in far greater quantities.
Because of a number of initiatives taken by the local
MLA and Industries Minister KT Rama Rao, weavers in
Sircilla, who were on the verge of bankruptcy and
starvation as a result of a lack of work prior to the
establishment of the State of Telangana, have seen a
significant improvement in their circumstances. They
have been able to exit the red because to the Rs 3,000
crore order from the State government, which
included orders for Bathukamma sarees and various
clothing for Christmas, Ramzan, and other occasions.
Along with these instructions, the State also released
a number of subsidies, which have been a huge
blessing for the State’s weaving community.
To expand their business, the weavers have decided
to switch from typical polyester fabric used for door
curtains and decorative items to fully finished cotton
and viscose fabric. They began considering replacing
the outdated Rapier looms with the more advanced
Air-jet looms for this reason. According to sources, the
Sircilla Textile Park Development Committee has
created a detailed project report (DPR) for an
investment of Rs 80 crore, and the Aditya Birla
business has offered to market the fabric that would
be woven using air-jet looms.
The weavers currently weave cloth using powerlooms
and Rapier looms. Powerlooms and Rapier looms can
produce 80 and 200 metres of cloth each day,
respectively. With the air-jet looms, this might
increase to 500 to 1,000 metres.
Weavers intend to ask the State government for a
subsidy so they may buy the air-jet looms from China
and Japan, which sell for roughly Rs 50 lakh to Rs 55
lakh each.
The Textile Park development committee’s chairman,
Annadas Anil, stated that the project had not yet been
completed. After speaking with Minister KT Rama Rao,
they were going to decide on it. According to him, the
weavers will make more money because the
contemporary, fast air-jet looms can produce clothing
of a high calibre.

submersible pumps and energy efficient fan is well
accepted in the Textile Industries especially spinning,
weaving, knitting, OE projects and also garments
industry as a suitable and more viable alternative
than civil plant.
In the present trend as the compact air spinning is
increasing day by day, the market is dependent on
compact yarn for the high speed weaving machines.
Hence to meet the requirements of the compact
spinning department approximately 2.5 cfm per
spindle air is being exhausted i.e approximately for
the ring frame of 1200 spindles, the total air volume
discharged is approximately 3000 cfm which is apart
from the departmental air exhaust. For a 12000
spindles 30,000 cfm is exhausted.
The discharge air volume from the compact spinning
system has to be compensated by the supply air
volume, otherwise the outside air will be rushing
inside. To compensate this imbalance, most of the
customers opt for Mini air washer(MAW) which is an
ideal and efficient solution without disturbing the
existing civil plant.
Now new variants with advanced features have been
introduced with a chiller where the inside department
temperature can be maintained at 28+/-2 deg C.
The recent trend of increase in OE projects, that too
with latest SAURER and TITAN machines, mini air
washer plays a vital role.
In the case of VORTEX SPINNING and other
AIRJET spinning projects, where the machinery
manufacturer’s recommendation is to maintain an
inside temperature of 26 deg C for this mini air
washer with a chiller is more suitable.
In short, most of the mills have decided to stop the
civil plants by incorporating these energy efficient,
prefabricated mini air washers for enormous power
saving and low maintenance cost.

global breakthrough was the development
of false-twist texturing machines. Heberlein’s
continuing business success made expansion
the logical next step, spanning many decades
of technological and market growth.

Vivek Dhawan, Partner of Airotex LLP and Martin
Toti, Senior Area Sales Manager of Heberlein
As part of a program to expand its sales territory into
new regions, Heberlein started in India in 1990. A
priority was to identify the right partner to ensure a
successful market launch. Looking back now,
Heberlein is delighted that its search led to Vivek
Dhawan, a Bachelor of Textile graduate from V.J.T.I.,
Bombay. Dhawan immediately mounted a tireless
effort to run trials all over India with intermingling jets.
Customers were soon convinced of the benefits of
Heberlein products, especially in Gujarat state where
90% of India’s polyester yarn business is located.
Heralding the era of texturing
Airotex LLP, the agency representing Heberlein in
India, was founded by Dhawan at a time when
manufacturers were switching from sizing to
intermingled yarn for use in both warp and weft.
Texturing was quite new then and producers saw
intermingled yarn as a way to avoid the costly process
of sizing. As Heberlein’s exclusive partner, Airotex LLP
had both the sophisticated solution and the latest
technology to hand.
Some Indian customers already knew Heberlein as a
spare parts supplier. In components for ARCT/Lohia
machines, the quality of spares like spinnerets and
Vulkollan® rolls supplied by Heberlein was regarded
as the best. Later, when intermingling became fully
established in the market, the Heberlein name stood
out.
For Airotex LLP customers, there are great benefits to
be had from in-plant trials of various Heberlein
products, carried out by experienced Heberlein staff.
These trials help existing and potential customers to
evaluate results in terms of interlacing density, level
of stability, regularity or air consumption. The
knowledgeable Heberlein support team can
recommend the ideal products for specific processes.
Such activities build a solid relationship of trust with
the clients. And through Airotex LLP, customers
benefit from continuous updates on Heberlein’s latest
product developments.
India ITME 2022 takes place in Greater Noida, Uttar
Pradesh from December 8 to 13. Visitors can hear
first-hand about latest product developments – as
well as the company’s great partner in India – at
Heberlein’s booth 11F20 located in hall 11.
Indian synthetic yarn market
Man-made yarn production in India has a 30-year
history. In the 1990s, the market started to develop
but it was the introduction of intermingling
technology which provided the real boost for filament
yarn. The market was seeking a definitive shift from
sizing to air intermingling, so Heberlein – as a pioneer
in air-influenced products – was a perfect partner in
the new and growing texturing industry.
“Indian customers appreciate technology from
Heberlein for the modification and treatment of
synthetic yarns, particularly filament yarns,” says

Vivek Dhawan, Partner of Airotex LLP.
Heberlein evolved from a popular spare parts
supplier to one of the leading manufacturers of air-
interlacing and air-texturing jets for synthetic
continuous filament yarns for the Indian market.
During the past three decades, Heberlein has been
pre-eminent with innovative products such as air-
interlacing or air-texturing jets for POY/FDY,
AirSplicers, suction guns or cutting heads for PSF
plants.
The most popular products are air-interlacing jets for
all deniers from 50 to 1,500 on texturing machines. In
texturing jets for 50 to 3,000den yarn, the company
has a virtual monopoly.
Expertise breeds trust
Heberlein continuously invests in R&D, with
sophisticated, original and inspiring products and
solutions. The company’s success is based on
innovation and on customer trust, as Heberlein
empowers business success. Knowledge and
confidence have both grown, founded on 100 years of
expertise. Today, customers rely on Heberlein
solutions to meet the toughest processing needs – and
create genuine added value. The Heberlein name is a
seal of quality, with products renowned for durability,
technology, and optimal cost-benefit ratio.
Whenever innovation is required, Indian filament yarn
producers know that timely solutions can be
expected at the Heberlein textile laboratory in
Switzerland. Expert advice on textiles, processes,
economic issues, and filament yarns applications is all
there for their benefit.
