The three major future trends in the spinning machinery business are automation, flexibility and integration, according to Norbert Klapper, chief executive officer of Switzerland-based Rieter, which supplies systems for short-staple fibre spinning.
Automation relates to running the machines with minimum operators; flexibility means to be able to produce a broad range of yarns at low changeover cost; and integration involves connecting the spinning machines and integrating them into a system, Klapper told Fibre2Fashion in an interview.The three major future trends in the spinning machinery business are automation, flexibility and integration, according to Rieter CEO Norbert Klapper. Automation results in minimum operators; flexibility means producing a broad range of yarns at low changeover cost; and integration involves connecting the spinning machines and integrating them into a system.#
