Indonesian company Indorama Synthetics has commissioned its 100,000th 2Impact FX compact spindle, a spindle from Zinser and a Saurer Group company.

“With spinning mills in Indonesia, Uzbekistan, Sri Lanka and Turkey, Indorama Synthetics is one of the top ten manufacturers in the industry,” a press release from Saurer informed.

Zinser has been supplying Indorama with ring spinning machines since the 1980s and the company has now commissioned its 100,000th Zinser spindle, a 2Impact FX compact spindle.

At a ceremony at ITMA 2015, Dr Martin Folini, CEO of Saurer and Saurer Schlafhorst and Henri Wiggers, regional sales & service director of Schlafhorst Zinser, presented the Golden Zinser Spindle to Indorama Synthetics.

The director of the Spun Yarns Division of Indorama, Anupam Agrawal and manufacturing head Virender Kumar Bhalla accepted the award on behalf of Indorama.

According to Saurer, this year, Zinser delivered over 40,000 2Impact FX compact spindles to Indorama and the 100,000 spindle milestone was achieved on delivery of the fifth machine.

“Following the installation of all machines, Indorama now has around 140,000 Zinser spindles,” the press release added.

The compact spinning machines process 100 per cent combed cotton to produce particularly high-quality compact yarn in counts ranging from Ne 20 to Ne 40.

They are integrated into a fully automated linked system extending from the Zinser roving frame to the Autoconer package winder from Schlafhorst.

“For many years, Indorama has been producing 100 per cent polyester yarns on Zinser 351 ring spinning machines,” Anupam Agrawal said.

"For years, we have been producing over 100,000 tons of ring yarn from polyester, viscose, cotton and blends on these fantastic machines,” he added.

“The Zinser compact spinning machine was considered for our new production project for its self-cleaning compact spinning technology, which guarantees desired compact yarn quality,” Agrawal observed.

“That was important to us, because we want to impress our international clients with unparalleled quality, reliability, adherence to deadlines, continuity and service," he stated.

Dr Martin Folini said, "The commissioning of the 100,000th Zinser spindle at one of the biggest, most demanding textile companies in the world is a wonderful endorsement of our work.” (AR)
