ITM 2024 Exhibition is the Best Address to Work with Both East and West
Christian Locetti, Managing Director of Marzoli, said: “It is very important to be at ITM 2024 to face current and future challenges and exchange ideas with each other. At the moment, ITM 2024 is the right address to work with both the eastern and western world.”
Marzoli, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of spinning machines, was among the exhibitors of ITM 2024. Marzoli introduced the new FTM320 Roving Machine with an innovative concept offering greater productivity, efficiency and versatility. Christian Locetti, General Manager of Marzoli, gave detailed information about the machine and evaluated the ITM 2024 Exhibition.
The innovation of FTM320 lies in the presence of one headstock placed in the middle position and independent double-side modules that work simultaneously. A single revolver exchanger with an integrated bobbin cleaner and an optimized transport system layout complete the solution. The optimized design and configuration of the Automation System results in an energy saving of up to 6.5% on the whole machine. The new roving frame also reduces operating costs by 10% and increases the productive area by 5%, while increasing efficiency by 5% and shortening exchanging and cleaning time by 29%.
With the FTM320 roving frames, Marzoli does not only offer a product of high quality, efficiency and outstanding productivity, but also aims at innovating the concept of spinning section (roving frame, bobbin transport system and spinning frame). In fact, the FTM320 roving frames are based on an innovative engineering concept of full mechanical and logical integration of every machine of the spinning unit. From the mechanical point of view, the empty trains of the Marzoli block creeling transport system (MTT) move to the revolver exchanger (MRE) placed in the middle of the FTM320 roving frame and, after having been loaded with full roving bobbins, they are sent to the creel of any spinning frame installed inside the plant.
“We have been focused on automation for more than 30 years. For us, full automation of machines is essential,” continued Locetti, adding that the automated high-efficiency FTM320 roving frame Marzoli is introducing at the show is the most advanced unit on the market focused on increasing productivity and using less energy to do so.
“With the product we are showcasing our complete digital solutions for full imaging,” said Locetti, “we have invested in R&D to supply fully automated machines that can self-adjust parameters, reducing the intervention of operators. This will allow for better ergonomics, thus increasing productivity, efficiency and reducing power consumption.”
The Future of Textile Industry is Bright
30 months of challenging conditions such as geopolitical conflicts, Covid period, inflation have affected sales globally. Locetti noted that the sector is currently growing continuously, so the future of the textile industry is bright.
Christian Locetti, General Manager of Marzoli; “The younger generation is more willing and more sensitive about the environment. They want us to solve the problems of recycling, reducing water consumption, reducing waste materials. Therefore, it is very important to be at Istanbul ITM 2024”.
