Showcase of Savio’s textile machines at ITM, Tukey

ITM Texpo Eurasia 2012 Exhibition will bring together the world’s leading textile technology manufacturers in Istanbul on 21-24 April 2012 at Tuyap Beylikduzu Fair and Congress Center. Turkey is an important customer of Italian textile machinery; quality fully corresponds to Turkish standards and, thanks to the geographical nearness to Italy, can be guaranteed an optimum service and quickness.

Turkey is ranked in the top five export markets of Savio Macchine Tessili, so the attendance at ITM exhibition is meant at massive level for being closer to these important customers who may be interested in the most advanced and automated Savio models, for either their green field or expansion projects. Savio will showcase in Istanbul three machines: Polar/I automatic link winder and two Sirius machines equipped with different technologies. In fact, further the standard configuration, Sirius can be equipped with the new Twist&Twist device, that makes possible “two twisting operations”, instead of the usual single.

The T&T solution is expected to turn upside down the twisting capability and opens a path in this sector, which seemed to be inexorably bound to the Two-for-One (single twist). It is an absolute innovation, since this technology allows an increase of process productivity of 33%, with the same energy consumption as the standard double twist spindle.
