Fancy yarn spinning, a sector in the lead in Italy, certainly does not lack stylistic research, creativity and attention to fashion changes. The resort to fancy yarns for the production of articles with special effects permits the approach to market niches which can offer reasonable profit margins, even against a fierce international competition.

In the rotor spinning sector, the technological developments implemented on OE spinning machines, which saw also the contribution of Italian companies, have been manifold during the years. The last developments concern the OE production of knitting yarns, where the most significant innovations, applied on devices considered as the heart of the machines, regard the proper selection of the fibres, of the type of rotor and of the opening roller, of the twists and of the type of certified cone to be produced. Thanks to this technological progress, the OE spinning machine opens up to the knitting sector, a sector which in the past was rather reluctant to the use of OE yarns owing to the rougher touch applied by the yarn onto textile goods. Another technological development which saw the leading role of an Italian trademark opened the possibility to attain rotor speeds up to 150.000 turns/min.; this permits to spin also small yarn lots, while ensuring a reduction of delivery times. This high flexibility, which could hardly be realized in the past, permits: i) to plan thoroughly the production (on independent machine fronts), ii) to minimize downtimes and iii) to obtain a high quality production. An important aspect of this innovation is the making up of the cone with certified quality, with a winding density 30% higher than in cones produced on traditional OE spinning machines.

Moreover we wish to stress that the Italian supply of textile machines includes also companies specialized in the manufacture of machines for the processing of regenerated fibres, i.e. cutting machines, tearing machines, openers, carding willows. These machines permit to serve a textile segment which is still important in our country and enjoys a considerable demand from many foreign markets, especially from East Europe.

In this presentation of the Italian technology applied to the spinning sector, even if concise, we cannot forget to include the machines for the automatic handling of spinning packages (bobbins, cops, cones), an activity in which the Italian companies have an absolute leadership. A mention is also due to the companies which offer plants and systems for the conditioning and cleaning of the air in the processing rooms, equipment which is indispensable to optimize the production also in the spinning mill.

The supply of Italian technology for the spinning sector maintains therefore a high market value, with peaks of absolute excellence. The long tradition and high competence acquired through the daily contact with the textile industries downstream led the Italian manufacturers of spinning machines to play a role of primary importance as technological partners for the production of high quality textiles.
