“Marzoli Reduces Its Energy Consumption By Half with Its Innovative Technologies”

Ilaria Scalvini, Marzoli Marketing Manager 

Italian company Marzoli, one of the manufacturers of the complete machine line for cotton and synthetic fiber yarn production; offers high efficiency solutions in natural, synthetic, technical fiber preparation and spinning. We interviewed Marzoli Marketing Manager Ilaria Scalvini for our Tekstil Teknoloji magazine. Evaluating the year 2022, Scalvini shared her predictions about the trends and developments in yarn and spinning machines in 2023.

Stating that the first half of 2022 was positive in terms of order intake, Scalvini said, “Since June, we have seen a sharp drop in demand in almost all major markets. We expect a slight recovery in 2023, especially after the ITMA 2023.”

“Marzoli Follows Trends Closely”

Saying that the main trends regarding production processes are; digitalization, artificial intelligence, cognitive applications and augmented reality, Scalvini continues as follows. “The history of innovation and engineering in Textile has anticipated and driven the global history of industrial and social innovation during the last three centuries. The macro trends we are monitoring and understanding for production processes and textile products will result in progressive improvements of the B2B and B2C dynamics as well as emerging in disruptive and completely, new, concepts. Concerning production processes, the main trends are: obviously digitalization, AI, cognitive applications and augmented reality. Automation and robotics. Fundamentals: Circularity and Sustainability.
With regards to the textile products, the main trends we highlighted, are: sustainability (development of new and eco-friendly fibres and materials as well as the design of products with lower energy content and extended life time). Lifecycle management (circularity). End to End traceability. Development of new materials. New customer approaches able to combine physical and virtual experiences.

Marzoli, as a Textile Engineering Company want to intercept these trends and opportunities in order to work closer with the customers, supporting them to create value, providing the know-how enabling the customer throughout all phases of the process.”

Scalvini reminded that it is difficult to predict certain changes in the  export markets of the world textile machinery manufacturers however, she lists some of the factors that he thinks may affect the sector as follows:

• Technological advancements in textile machinery
• Shift in consumer preferences towards sustainable and eco-friendly products
• Changes in trade policies and regulations
• Economic and political instability in certain countries.

Marzoli, as a Textile machinery manufacturer, closely monitor these developments, adapting accordingly and developing new processes to stay competitive in the global market.

“In 2023, we expect to see a growth”

Saying that we expect to see a growth driven by increased demand for efficient and technologically advanced machines in 2023, “The adoption of Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing practices is also expected to drive demand. Increased investment in research and development to improve energy efficiency and sustainability will also be a key trend in the sector. And, of course, ITMA 2023, that will take place in Milan in June will be the occasion to show to our customers the innovations and the developments in these fields.” Scalvini said. 

“We Develop New Projects By Focusing On the Special Needs of Our Customers”

Scalvini, who also shared about Marzoli’s targets for 2023, continued her words as follows: “In Marzoli we are focused on the development and creation of exclusives concept dedicated to 4 different and complementary areas: Spinning technology, Digital textile, Nonwoven solutions and Circular Technologies.
Nonwovens and circular economy are two areas of constant innovation and investment for us: we are developing new projects and cutting-edge technologies, always focused on the specific requirements of our customers, with special attention to the emerging trends such as the adoption of sustainable practices.
The experience gained in 10 years of research and developments dedicated to circularity of fabrics, allows us to have an extended competence on processing 28 different types of fibers and related blends.

Customers can rely on Marzoli experience for the implementation of different types of nonwoven lines, able to create a wide range of products: wipes, medical /surgical, disposable and filtration.

Being one of the leading manufacturers in Europe of complete line, the spinning technology still represents our core business. The latest technical innovation introduced in the market by Marzoli is CMX, the new state-of-the-art 10 heads combing technology that, with a capacity of up to 115kg/hour, guarantees a level of productivity 25% higher than the previous model, along with an extended energy savings of – 20% kW/kg.

Continuous improvement and special focus in our Leading-edge Roving frame technology (FTD) which is pushing the limits of the performance: wide flexibility, high productivity, quality, space savings, power savings, full integration into any kind of spinning sections. High degree of automation and digital integration.

A mandatory topic, especially in this historical period, is addressing energy consumption and the related cost. The R&D activities of the last 30 years has allowed Marzoli to halve the energy consumption (-47%) with the adoption of innovative power-saving technologies.

The digital solutions Marzoli proposes, further improve the energy efficiency, by optimizing in a continuous and proactive way the process parameters. While Marzoli Brain Box, is possible to increase productivity (+ 5.5%), and efficiency (+8%).”
