Saurer At ITM 2026: Answering The Markets Requirement For Flexibility

The textile industry faces unprecedented challenges: geopolitical tensions, pandemics and natural disasters are changing market conditions overnight. Today, flexibility is no longer an option, but a survival strategy. Saurer will be demonstrating at ITM 2026 in Istanbul, in Hall 7 at booth 709 A, how modern machine technology delivers flexibility – from bale yarn.

Türkiye is one of Saurer’s key markets and exhibiting at ITM is a fixed mark in Saurer’s calendar since decades. The importance of ITM has grown from a local exhibition to a regional event in the last 10 years.

Five Spinning Systems – For Flexible Decisions And A Wide Range Of Materials

The Saurer machines follow the E³ concept; they are optimised for energy-saving, economics and ergonomics, offering real customer value. Being the only supplier in the industry offering all five end-spinning systems, Saurer is helping customers to plan their optimised yarn production layout: Ring (Zinser 51), Compact (Zinser 51 Zpact FX) and Worsted spinning (Zinser 451),  Air (Autoairo) and Rotor spinning (Autocoro 11 and BD 8)

The Saurer pre-spinning product portfolio offers several options for either mass production or flexible lots. Different combinations of opening and carding with modern technology and digital steering ensure best sliver quality for following processes.

In addition to production flexibility the market is demanding the capability to process a wide range of fibres and yarn counts – from cotton and wool through to synthetic fibres and high-performance materials such as aramid as well as recycled or regenerated fibres.

Autocoro 11 With Duo Sliver Feeding – Flexibility Redefined At ITM 2026

Two opening rollers enable two slivers to be blended directly on the machine – adjustable in smallest increments. The result: cost-effective production of coloured melange yarns especially in smaller batches, with maximum reproducibility. A revolution for manufacturers who need to react quickly to fashion trends or customer requirements or process recycled materials.

Fashionable Yarns in Flexible Production

Thanks to the Multilot function, multiple lots can run simultaneously on a single machine during rotor spinning, air-jet spinning, twisting and cabling – allowing orders to be redistributed flexibly. Short set-up times ensure that product changes keep pace with the market.  With the Fancynation software, any fancy yarns can be produced on ring and rotor spinning machines – a direct lever for differentiation and new market opportunities. Further options enable spinning Siro or core yarns on ring.

Digitalisation and Automation

Senses Mill digital control and monitoring solution, provides real-time data for fast, informed production decisions. Saurer integrated automation into the machines for decades – doffers, automatic doffing, etc. Today modern automation is complemented with external automation like BTS or AGVs or cobots) for modern mill automation. The new Hunter S1 can-transport AGV is designed for the transport of sliver cans from draw frames to roving or rotor spinning.
