The OE opening rollers and clothing rings are manufactured at a new and highly automated state-of-the-art plant, the first such advanced and comprehensive facility in India for manufacturing and servicing of OE spares, Basant Wire said in a press release.
“The new production facility was established because there was a need for an Indian supplier, who can provide world class quality OE machine components at economical prices, while ensuring faster deliveries and quicker service,” said Basant MD Kishore Khaitan.
The new facility has been set up in collaboration with Stewarts of America Inc, a world leader and an innovative solutions provider, specialising in pins and pinned products, technical textiles and perforating technologies.
“OE market being very competitive, textile mills need to achieve high quality and efficiency with lower maintenance costs and additionally, they needed solutions suited to local conditions. This was the main objective behind setting up the manufacturing facility, as we can now offer customised solutions, through our own facility and service infrastructure,” Khaitan added.
The new products offered by Basant are for use on all models of Schlaforst Autocoro, Rieter R, M and BT series; Saurer/Oerlikon/Schlaforst series; LR M1/2; Elitex BD200 (RN, SN, RCE, 10N, 20N), among others.
The OE spinbox components offer a superior value proposition as they are priced much lower than European makes for comparable performance. Additionally, Basant provides several innovative and customised solutions to resolve challenges faced by textile mills, with respect to quality, product and fibre mix; and ease of replacement. (RKS)
