SYMTECH Sample Booklet

SYMTECH, Inc. operates from this 32,000 square foot facility in Spartanburg, South Carolina, which serves as the distribution center for the company’s textile machinery customers.

SYMTECH, a distributor of major textile machinery and equipment, not only sells textile machinery, but also assumes the full responsibility for installation, warranty, repairs and field service, and carries a full line of spare parts.

SYMTECH, unlike most agencies that only sell the machinery while the remaining services are provided from overseas or from a subsidiary in the U.S., provides you with a partner who offers support and assistance long after the sale is made.

SYMTECH serves as the link in the U.S. and Canada between the textile manufacturer and the machinery manufacturer, and takes much pride in the partnership that forms. SYMTECH defines the true meaning of partnership is when two parties work together to promote mutual growth within the industry.

SYMTECH’sbelief is that by providing the industry with the highest quality of machinery available and offering good service, our customers derive the most benefit from their investments.

SELVEDGE THREAD LET-OFF

Designed for perfectly adjusted selvedge thread tension control. The tensioning arm measures the selvedge tension and keeps it constant from a full to an empty spool.

Individual tension control for the selvedge and the warp beam, may result in a better running efficiency, better fabric quality and a reduction in loom parts consumption, as the overall warp tension can often be reduced.

UKAST 508 WARP LET-OFF

Designed for perfectly adjusted warp tension control. It keeps the warp tension constant from a full to an empty warp beam. The tension is measured with a linear sensor on the back rest roller of the loom.

WARP THREAD FEEDING SYSTEMS FOR NARROW MACHINES

Various tension control systems for narrow weaving machines are available in form of a narrow delivery unit / driven roller or a complete let-off for narrow looms. Solutions are typically individually designed for the application.

WARP FEEDING DEVICE / DELIVERY UNIT

This device is used in combination with a package creel. The delivery unit feeds the yarn from the creel to the weaving machine by keeping a constant tension. It can be used in a wide range of applications, including in carbon weaving.

BEAM STAND AND WARP BEAM IN HIGH POSITION

Crealet offers a complete upper beam stand including electronic let-off for existing looms for most brands and types. They also offer additional beam stands sitting on the floor for weaving with multiple beams on wide and / or narrow looms.

KAST 912 LET-OFF & TAKE-UP CONTROL UNIT

Electronically controlled weaving tension between the warp in the back and the take-up in the front. No pick gears are involved as the pick density is set on the display. The peak weaving tension can be reduced resulting in less loom parts consumption and better fabric quality and efficiency.

Customized yarn processing

SCHARER SCHWEITER METTLER AG

In the combined 300-year-old tradition of the Schärer, Schweiter and Mettler companies, which in 1989 merged as SSM, there was always commitment in textile machinery and facilities for yarn processing.

People, markets, technologies and fashion are subject to continuous change - however what remains at the center of our activities is our endeavor to make available to the textile industry top products for yarn processing and winding.

Outstanding competence in processes and winding

Our competence is in the yarn handling and processing during the winding operation as well as in the production of a top quality package for the downstream process. Following processes benefit directly with quality and efficiency improvements. SSM is committed in many applications of the textile process chain.

The following chart illustrates our most important activities:

MACHINERY

SINGLE AND DOUBLE COVERED YARNS

Conventional single and double covering machines

Ratti and OMM machines can be configured for single or double covering and thanks to the new mechanic or electronic gear box, allow the production of bobbins that can be used directly on hosiery machines without prior rewinding. The section of machine can be easily accessible for simple and rapid maintenance to minimize the stop time.

TWISTING

Two–for-One’ twisting for filament yarns

Ratti ‘two-for-one’ twisters for natural silk, continuous artificial and synthetic filament yarns, with different lines of textile machines for sewing and embroidery threads, covered yarns, technical yarns, fancy yarns. A wide range of machines that includes almost all the twisting process application fields, providing a great advantage: a marked flexibility to meet customers’ specific needs.

TECHNOLOGY FOR SHORT WARP PROCESSING

Short warp is our profession. No matter how far digitizing technology has advanced, it can only visualize the color-matching of the envisioned fabric, and the touch of the fabric cannot be composed artificially. There is no better way but to present a piece of actual sample cloth in order to appeal to the buyer’s emotion — the sample is the solution. Suzuki offers machinery to cope with quick response expected in today’s demanding specifications market. No matter whether fashion or industrial fabric, Suzuki offers appropriate warping technology for sample fabrics to showcase to buyers, and at the same time, a weavability that is verified in advance.
