Spinning Sector Overview

SPINNING | TECHNOLOGY & MACHINES • • . • Major manufacturers of spinning machines (i.e. spindles & rotor machines) and other textile machinery are based in Germany, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland, China, and Japan. Major manufacturing brands include Saurer Schlafhorst GmbH & Co., Toyota, Murata Machinery Limited, Savio Machine Tessilli, Rieter, RIFA Textile Machinery Co. Ltd. Lakshmi Machine Works Limited, among others. The efficiency of spinning machines is determined by the number of spindles installed on the machine and its RPM. More advanced machines have higher RPM, resulting in higher efficiency. The RPM of latest looms from major manufacturers can reach up to ~125,000 - 150,000RPM. Overall, spinning machines have low cost investments. The price ranges between USD ~300- 800/spindle depending on the RPM, level of automation of back processes and country. The spindles are mounted on frames. Almost all machinery used in the sector is imported from Europe and East Asian Countries (mainly China). Further, there is a need for continuous technological BMR to improve efficiency to remain competitive in the international landscape. 5 Source: Manufacturers Websites PACRA
