One of the major spinning plants for the production of high-grade cotton yarns in the entire Gulf region is coming into existence in the Fujairah emirate and will be finished by the end of 2007.

The volume of this ambitious project amounts to an equivalent of about 50 million Euros. More than 18 million Euros are allotted to the turnkey machine technology with accessories.

The mastermind planning and equipment, including engineering, is in the hands of Oerlikon Schlafhorst, leading in the process competence for quality yarns up to the finished high-end yarn package.

Since the project was started in 2005, Oerlikon Schlafhorst is involved as technical consultant and project planner– from the feasibility study via the planning of a turnkey plant up to the production calculations.

„The decision was made in our favour because our overall solution was convincing. This comprises the availability and the process competence for machines that are coordinated over the entire value added chain as well as the know-how regarding the demands of buildings and infrastructure“, says Matthias Nierhaus, Head of Oerlikon Schlafhorst Engineering.

The company will equip the machinery with 26 ring spinning machines type Zinser 351 with 1,200 spinning positions each, 15 flyers type Zinser 670 with 120 spindles each and 14 yarn package winders type Autoconer 338.

To complete the plant, the German partners Trützschler from Mönchengladbach and LTG from Stuttgart will supply additional machine technology.
