 PREFACE
In today’s world, textile manufacturers need to keep upgrading their machineries to
stay competitive. In fact, it is the latest machinery that drives the growth of the textile
and garment industry by providing efficiency and optimisation in production.
To meet customers’ demands and needs, global leaders in textile machineries
strive hard to come up with innovative and more efficient textile machines. The
newer machines are intelligently designed to give maximum quality and optimum
economic efficiency with outstanding features. The trends in shipments of
machineries give an indication of which machineries are in demand.
Shipments of flat-knitting machines rose by 52 per cent, while deliveries of shuttle-
less looms increased by 14 per cent year-on-year in 2015, according to the 38th
annual International Textile Machinery Shipment Statistics (ITMSS) released by the
International Textile Manufacturers Federation (ITMF).
On the other hand, shipments in some textile machinery segments experienced
declines in 2015. Deliveries of new short-staple spindles fell by nearly 8 per cent from
2014 to 2015. Shipped long-staple spindles and open-end rotors decreased by 61 per
cent and 6 per cent, respectively. The number of shipped draw texturing spindles
fell by 26 per cent and shipments for new circular knitting machines by 6 per cent
year-on-year.
However, 2015 was a very good year for the segment of electronic flat knitting
machines as global shipments grew by 52 per cent to 70,100 machines, the highest
level since 2011. Not surprisingly, Asia received the highest share of shipments (93
per cent). China remained the world’s largest investor for flat knitting machines in
2015. Thereby, Chinese investments increased from 19,000 units to 35,500 units.
But, due to rising labour and production costs, textile and garment manufacturing
is shifting, to a certain extent, from China. As a result, new plants are being set up
in other countries, especially in Asia and Africa. This is where the new machineries
would be in demand. ‘Innovations in Machinery — The CEO Handbook’ tries to
explain the advantages of various machines that will help technocrats in choosing
the right machine.
This volume is a collection of top most companies that inform readers about the
latest innovations in textile machinery. It presents some of the leading machinery
entrepreneurs from different textile verticals who have contributed to the textile
industry with their innovations.
New technologies and techniques in textile production are sure to draw the attention
of top textile technocrats. Going beyond, this volume attempts to give a glimpse of
the future of textile machinery and production.
This handbook will reach the top technocrats in the textile and apparel
organisations throughout the world. It will serve as an extensive source of
information regarding upcoming technologies and innovations in the global textile
machinery industry.

M
the Company

arzoli is the only European manufacturer of the full line of machines for spinning of short-
staple fibers. The company was founded by Cristoforo Marzoli in 1851 in Palazzolo sull’Oglio,
near Brescia (Italy). He started in a small garage producing spare parts for spinning machinery
About

and then, with his son, developed the small factory into a proper foundry where started the
production of machines. By 1890 the little shop had become a modern industrial factory and by
1920 Marzoli was an established global producer of textile machinery.

In March 1999, Marzoli became part of the Camozzi Group, a consolidated and successful reality that comprises
13 brands operating in 75 countries worldwide with branch offices, exclusive distributors and service centers.
Under the Camozzi Group’s guidance the facility at Palazzolo sull’Oglio has been modernized with the
installation of highly efficient lean manufacturing assembly lines and the implementation of the Total Quality
Management philosophy.

Marzoli today embodies the perfect fusion between mature expertise and dynamic competence, know-how and
experimentation. From the bale opener to the ring spinning frame, Marzoli offers the most advanced technology for
a completely-automated and well-balanced spinning mill and takes it even further with software platforms that allow
to easily control the plant and optimize the entire spinning process.

Marzoli today is an international reality with two overseas subsidiaries and a worldwide sales and service
network which can ensure prompt and competent assistance in all strategic markets. With active clients, many
of whom are well-known industry leaders, in over 70 countries, Marzoli aims at being a worldwide referent

Marzoli draw frames & combing section

From the processing of cotton to artificial,
synthetic and technical fibers, Marzoli C701
card has been specifically designed to achieve
a superior trade off between productivity and
quality. This has been possible thanks to countless
innovations in some critical areas of the machine,
like the feed chute and the carding area.
The two pieces chute with integrated opening
system guarantees a perfect opening of the
feedstock and a very even distribution of the
flocks with constant pressure on the entire batt
surface. The carding area with a working width of
1.5 meters, 32 mobile flats in working position and
settings held constant by the cast iron structure
guarantee outstanding carding performances.
When compared to the previous model, Marzoli
C701 allows an increase in production under the
same quality level of up to 50% and a reduction of
energy consumption of up to 30%.
Marzoli draw frames & combing section
Spinning preparation machines play a
fundamental role in ensuring yarn quality and they must run at very high production speeds for a
fast return on the investment. Marzoli draw frames thanks to the high-performance pneumatic and
electronic drafting system and the advanced auto-leveling technology can produce perfectly-even
sliver with a production speed up to 1,000 m/min.
Marzoli combing section, by drawing on the high speed of the Marzoli lap winder and the
completely revised kinematics of the comber, can achieve superior production levels of outstanding
quality sliver with minimum IPI values and great evenness.
Marzoli roving frame & transport system
The roving frame has always been one of the most important machines for the overall productivity
and efficiency of the spinning mill. With Marzoli roving frames conventional machine elements
such as cone drives, differential gears and package build motion have been replaced by advanced
independent electronic drives. All these drives are coordinated by a central CPU which substantially
simplifies the machine, guarantees the perfect coordination of all movements, reduces the number
of components, lowers friction, vibrations and mechanical wear, with substantial savings on energy
consumption and maintenance.
The fully automatic doffing and the advanced Marzoli bobbin transport system allow an efficient
and constant supply of roving bobbins to the spinning frames. This allows to avoid poor handling of
roving bobbins and achieve important labor savings.

Marzoli spinning frames
Marzoli spinning frames
In recent decades technological progress of ring spinning machines
has been restless. Innovations have allowed to produce new types
of yarn (e.g. compact yarn), to increase output volumes and to lower
investment and operating costs. Marzoli spinning frames set the lead
in the process of continuous technological advancement, pursuing the
objectives of productivity, efficiency and flexibility.
Marzoli ring spinning frames are fully electronic machines with
independent drives for spindles, ring rail and drafting system.
The electronic coordination of these drives ensures the perfect
synchronization of all working organs while reducing friction and
vibrations.
The particular geometry of the creel, the integrated slub device and the
new Mac3000 compact system allow Marzoli spinning frames to produce
any type of yarn: Lycra, core- spun, double roving, slub and compact;
ranking Marzoli machines among the most flexible spinning frames
available on the market.
CEO Handbook 13
Spinning Mill 4.0
The constant predisposition towards innovation has enabled Marzoli to interpret
the paradigms of the most recent information and communication technologies
(ICT) and exploit them in order to further enhance the performances of its
plants. Thanks to an impressive project which has taken 4 years of design
and testing of its technical and R&D departments, Marzoli has developed two
innovative software platforms that allow an easy and quick management of yarn
production and a substantial optimization of the entire spinning process.
With YarNet the customer can access and analyze all data regarding production;
download, modify, edit and send production recipes to the machines; find
the best trade-offs between production and efficiency levels thanks to the
innovative power management function.
With Marzoli Remote Maintenance, this is the name of the second platform, the
client can draw on the most advanced IoT technology of Microsoft® to analyze the
symptomatic data gathered by processors and additional sensors installed in critical
parts of the machines to constantly monitor their efficiency. If any parameter diverts
from the nominal operating ranges, the client is immediately alerted.

the Company

rützschler’s Indian subsidiary formerly known as “Trumac” was established

in 1979 in Ahmedabad, India. In the initial years from 1981 to 1992, company
activity was mainly concentrated on supplying blow room machines. In 1992
About

cards were added to the production program and in 2002 draw frames. It was
in 2009 that a transition began with supply of Trützschler series of machines to
the Indian market under the brand name of “Trützschler”. These cutting-edge machines
ensured that products and services were of the global level.

Today “Truetzschler India Private Limited” is not only the place where machines of
international quality are produced, but also project planning, sales and nation-wide service
are independently taken care. Truetzschler India’s (TIPL) plant admeasuring 36000 sq. m.
is upgraded with extensive investments in building, machines and processes in order
to align itself with Trützschler’s “Global Production Strategy”. With the addition of new
highly sophisticated machines like high speed laser cutting machines from Trumpf, CNC
press brake Weinbrenner, CNC roll bending machine, machining center from Hueller
Hille (MAG), turning center from Magdeburg and Monforts, turn-mill centers from DMG
and Mazak and new powder coating plant from GEMA, the plant capacity has stepped
up resulting into improved productivity. This helped us to follow the best manufacturing
processes and operations, as practiced in Germany.

TIPL’s card clothing division is equipped with flat top pin setting machines, grinding

cylinders and profile wire line for rigid wire, to support ever increasing
demand for TCC products from domestic and global markets.
TIPL also introduced ‘Lean Manufacturing’ and ‘5S’ concept. This improved
material flow in the production, resulting higher productivity and lower
wastage. These initiatives together with quality circle, daily reviews,
involvement of people and cross functional interactions in the shop floor
have been a real success at all levels. With ISO 9001:2008 certification under
its belt, TIPL is confident to remain competent enough to shoulder future
responsibilities.

T
he worldwide renowned aircraft company Dornier started to
the Company
produce textile machines after the war had ended, initially
shuttle weaving machines - the result of the search for a
new field of activity. The reason for the new orientation:
About

The Allied Forces had completely forbidden the company to

build aircraft in Germany.

In 1950 Lindauer DORNIER GmbH was founded at the site of today´s

headquarters in Lindau-Rickenbach by Peter Dornier, the son of well
known aviation pioneer Claude Dornier.

Wide product range

Apart from shuttle weaving machines, the Lindauer DORNIER soon
started producing specialty machines such as drying plants for
paperboard, paper and gypsum fireboard industry. In the mid 1960s,
DORNIER extended its product range with film stretching machines for
the packing and film industry as well as textile finishing machines for
circular knitted goods.

The 1967 developed DORNIER rapier weaving machine complemented

by the air-jet weaving machine introduced in 1989 were the most
important milestones for the advancement to being today´s only
German weaving machine manufacturer with an excellent international
reputation.
 CEO Handbook 45

Our Products
For the highest demands: The DORNIER system family with
international reputation

Versatile, reliable and very productive - these features

characterize DORNIER weaving machines. They therefore fulfill
the high demands of the textile industry in the 21st century.

The demands placed on weaving machines by the textile

industry are manifold: Flexible and gentle material usage,
extreme pattern diversity, an absolutely reliable functional
security and fabrics without faults. Apart from that, the industry
expects that standstill times are as low and productivity is as
high as possible. The unique DORNIER system family comprising
rapier and air-jet weaving machines results from this catalog of
market requirements.
P2 Typ TGV4 S G klein

Efficient operation thanks to identical electronics

Both types, rapier as well as air-jet weaving machines, are built
on a platform strategy and use the same robust machine frame
and electronic control systems. This means - despite different
insertion systems - they can be operated and maintained in
the same way, which is efficient and cost-effective. A further
advantage: Simple accessory exchange and extensive use of
identical spare parts reduce warehouse stocks at the customer’s
premises and therefore save money. New applications are
designed in order to be always compatible with both systems.
P1 Rapier Weaving Machine
Following the motto “Customized Solutions”, DORNIER’s new
rapier weaving machine P1 demonstrates the known sturdy
machine construction with high reed impact forces, 5-axis control
for multi-beam weaving of filament fabrics as well as very heavy
multilayer conveyor belt fabrics.
Flexible insertion of monofilaments and wires on up to the finest silk threads using
the open shed filling insertion proven over 35 years, with positive central transfer,
stands for unsurpassed flexibility and user-friendly handling, especially with fast style
changes. Production reliability and fault-free weaving are of decisive importance in
this context.
A1 Airjet Weaving Machine
Energy efficiency, raw materials and material efficiency belong to the important
economical and ecological challenges for the international textile industry. New
innovations on the air-jet weaving machine A1 have improved the sustainability and
therefore made fabric production processes more efficient and more compatible for
the environment.
DORNIER’s weave-by-wire® replaces the existing mechanical connections (between
weaving machine and shedding device) with electronic data transfers which allow
optimum execution of complex processes.

Open Reed Weave (ORW)

Technology – Weave and
Stitch in one Process
The development of the innovative Open Reed Weave (ORW) technology by DORNIER has created the
foundation for integrating completely new functions into the weaving process.

System design demands a large technical effort in realizing patterns in the fabric surface. Floating threads
that occur on the rear fabric side increase the surface weight. With technical fabrics, the fabric structure
leads to an anisotropic surface image which means fabric characteristics are not homogenous in all
directions. Fabric strength and stretching behavior
are therefore strongly dependent on the direction of
activated forces.

ORW technology allows integrating additional threads

into the weaving process by using special thread
guides arranged between the reed and weaving
shafts. Linear drives shift the thread guides horizontally
on a profile depending on the pattern. The additional
pattern threads create a filling effect on the fabric
surface that can be controlled as desired. This filling
effect is similar to embroidery and Scherli patterns. A1 Typ AWS 6S G16 Wolle klein
ORW technology therefore offers more flexibility and
pattern options domestic textile applications (e.g.
curtains, tablecloths) and clothing materials.

 CEO Handbook 55

Message from President

From day one, SHIMA SEIKI has been a
company based on innovation. Its founder
and president Dr. Masahiro Shima was an
inventor from a very young age, because
he had to count on his inventiveness to
survive growing up in post-war Japan. While
working at a glove knitting factory in his
home town of Wakayama, he earned his
first patent at the age of 16 for a special type
Dr. Masahiro Shima, President
of sewing machine. In 1962 at the age of 24,
Shima founded SHIMA SEIKI MFG., LTD. with the intention of developing the
world’s first fully automatic seamless glove knitting machine.

Upon inventing that glove machine and watching the first glove drop from
the chute, it gave him a hint. With the glove upside down, imagining the
middle three digits combining into one larger tube while removing the
fingertips, the glove begins to resemble a pullover, with the middle-three
digits as the body, the thumb and little finger as sleeves, and the cuff
portion as the collar. It was at that moment that he was determined to
develop the world’s first WHOLEGARMENT® knitting machine to produce
seam-free knitwear.
Since then, all innovation from SHIMA SEIKI, such as its patented spring-
type moveable sinker system, Digital Stitch Control System (DSCS), 4-bed
configuration and computer programming and simulation to name a few
- each of them game-changing innovations that advanced the knitting
industry and positioned SHIMA SEIKI as the technological leader in flat
knitting technology - were nothing more than milestones reached on a
longer journey in pursuit of a greater cause.
Finally in 1995, at the International Textile Machinery (ITMA) exhibition in
Milan, SHIMA SEIKI unveiled to the amazement of the industry, the world’s
first complete garment machine. Named “WHOLEGARMENT®,” with it, what
took many man-hours, even days, to produce a knitted garment by sewing
together separate pieces such as the front body, back body and sleeves,
could now be produced in its entirety in a matter of minutes on a single
knitting machine. It was even hailed by the press as “the Magic of the
Orient.”
The invention was, however, literally ahead of its time. In fact it had been
scheduled for release in the year 2000, but because of the increasing amount
of inexpensive knitted goods being imported from China at the time, Dr.
Shima decided to introduce the technology five years ahead of schedule
in order to give local knitting industries a fighting chance with a production
alternative that minimized reliance on labor. However at the time the
technology was expensive and inefficient, without the capability to knit as
much variety as required by the market. The machine was complicated and
programming for it required much skill and know-how as well.
Literally going back to the drawing board, as any inventor would, Dr. Shima
saw that the limitations in WHOLEGARMENT® knitting at the time were
caused by the inherent characteristics of the latch needle, a 150 year-old
design that was the industry standard. If a new needle design was required,
but not available, leave it to Shima to invent it himself. Thus SHIMA SEIKI’s
56 CEO Handbook
original SlideNeedle™ was invented, offering drastic improvements in
loop formation and transfer techniques. An equally significant invention
was the 4-needlebed configuration, first used on the SWG-X machine
and later on the flagship MACH2X. These two inventions, as well as the
improved i-DSCS+DTC® Digital Stitch Control with Dynamic Tension Control,
helped WHOLEGARMENT® knitting to become a fully capable alternative to
conventional knitting
Meanwhile times changed and the face of the global knitting industry had
also undergone some drastic changes in the past two decades. China was
no longer the global textile factory as once expected, due to rising wages
and shortage of labor. Global production for the world’s major consumer
economies such as the United States, Europe and Japan shifted toward
China Plus One countries in South and Southeast Asia, while other markets
such as India, Turkey, South America, Eastern Europe and even China itself,
are finding themselves challenged with increasing domestic demand.
Combine this with consumer markets whose local traditional knitting
Since its commercial introduction in 1995, SHIMA SEIKI
has been the undisputed leader in WHOLEGARMENT®
knitting technology with 30 years of on-going research
and 20 years of proprietary field experience and know-
how, not to mention over 2,000 related patents and
patents pending worldwide.
industries were seemingly devastated by inexpensive imports beyond
recovery but are showing a revival of production by bringing manufacturing
back on-shore, and opportunities for WHOLEGARMENT® production
seemed to be on the rise.
Therefore the timing was perfect when the ITMA 2015 exhibition returned
to Milan after 20 years, just in time for SHIMA SEIKI to celebrate the 20th
Anniversary of WHOLEGARMENT® knitting technology. There, the company

introduced its new flagship MACH2XS
WHOLEGARMENT® knitting machine with
a brand new feature: the spring-loaded
movable sinker system. With it, MACH2XS
was now capable of matching and even
surpassing conventional knit production
in terms of patterning versatility and item
variety, offering higher productivity and
superior quality control, while becoming more
affordable. Furthermore with the compact
SWG-Mini series WHOLEGARMENT® knitting
machine also on display, smaller items could
be knit with a wider variety of yarns and
materials for applications beyond the scope
of fashion such as sports, medical, safety
and others including wearable technology
applications. With improvements made to
software on the company’s SDS-ONE APEX3
3D design system, ease of programming for
both types of machines had improved, and
simulation capability allowed Virtual Sampling
to minimize the time-consuming and costly
sample making process even more effectively.
Response to SHIMA SEIKI’s presentation
at ITMA had been overwhelming. Since
the exhibition, the same renewed
WHOLEGARMENT® technology has been
shown at follow-up events in markets all
around the world, with new inquiries being
amassed at each. The focus of attention
in the knitting industry is now clearly on
WHOLEGARMENT®. Recent technological
breakthroughs in WHOLEGARMENT® knitting
and programming, combined with changes
in the industry and current market conditions
CEO Handbook 57
have made WHOLEGARMENT® knitting machines more attractive to a wider audience. SHIMA SEIKI
continues its mission as innovation leader in flat knitting machine technology, providing solutions that
live up to the demands and expectations of the knitting industry, well into the 21st Century. After 20
years, the age of WHOLEGARMENT® has finally arrived.

jersey knitwear production process can thus be shortened significantly.
The unique quality, the so-called Spinit Look & Feel, is a result of the
false-twist spinning process in which the fibre roving is processed directly
into knitwear. The fibres are knitted directly into loops gently and without
twisting. High-quality single jersey knitwear is produced with totally new

Armando Formentini decided to look forward to the future and join together in what, 67
years later, was destined to become one of the most renowned companies for high-end
yarn dyeing machines in the World. That was a hard and challenging time with Second

World War a not-so-distant memory that somehow gave a strong impulse for commitment
and dedication to state-of-the-art products that, in any sectors of the industry, made Italy
shine on the international markets for decades to come. Fortunately, our company was no
exception. Today, despite so many years passed, our philosophy did not change in any way
and we are still dedicating great attention to our products, as much as to the after sale service.

In Loris Bellini, we truly believe technological evolution is the only true driver for moving things
forward to a different, higher level, no matter what is the cost to achieve it. Our history is
full with significant milestones that contributed in creating the name we have today. Starting
from the introduction of the air-pad system in 1961, or the World debut of the first horizontal
axis RBNO yarn dyeing machine back in ITMA Milan 1983, there has been a succession of
innovations culminating with latest Pulsar technology which has once again re-affirmed our
technological leadership on the Market.

Our new Pulsar machine is the result of more than 3 years of sustained R&D & extensive trials
by our internal engineering team, which guarantees an unprecedented 70% savings in Electrical
Energy and 20% reduction in consumption of other utilities such as water, steam & chemicals,
beside the fact that the new circulation system ensures consistent, premium quality dyeing
results. Pulsar Technology is already patented & widely appreciated by the yarn Dyers worldwide.

If technological innovation is the only motor to

move things forward, after sale service is the

only element that will possibly strengthen our Loris Bellini new Pulsar yarn dyeing machine: the new Era of yarn dyeing
name on the Market even further. Nowadays
customers not only look for a high-end
products, but also for someone reliable taking
care of them once they are installed in their
facilities. This is our goal in the short period
range: fast and reliable after sale support
for all our customers seeking for help in the
immediate vicinity. Some of these local after
sale services are already available today in the
most strategic Markets Worldwide such as India,
China and Turkey and we are looking forward
to extending these local services even in other
areas of the Globe, as a completion of our

becomes one of the first Hong Kong companies to explore the giant textile dyeing
and finishing market in China. It is a key turning point for the Group’s future development.

In 1990, CHTC Fong’s Industries Co. Ltd. was the first company of its kind in the industry
publicly listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong. To accommodate the need of major
raw materials for its manufacturing business, the Group also set up the stainless steel
trading and stainless steel castings manufacturing businesses. Now the Group has a
workforce of approximately 4,700 employees serving over 5,700 customers worldwide.
Each year, CHTC FONG’S produces more than 2,000 dyeing and finishing equipment of

has accumulatively supplied around 28,000 sets of dyeing and finishing equipment for the
global market. It serves to promote the continuous development and upgrading of the
textile dyeing and finishing industry in China, or even in a larger global economic scope.
It can be put that CHTC FONG’S Industries’s growth illustrates the history of China’s textile
dyeing and finishing industry in the past half century.

CHTC Fong’s Group’s merger with China Hi-Tech Group Corporation (CHTC) took place
88 CEO Handbook
in June 2011. Since then, CHTC
Fong’s Group has become the
core business in CHTC’s dyeing

achieving economy of scale in
operation and further strengthening
its own competitiveness in the dyeing
and finishing machinery industry.
FNECL, Monforts Fong’s, Xorella,
THEN, Goller, FWT and Monforts are
the leading brands under FONG’S
Industries, and also the renowned
labels in the global textile industry. By
organically integrating those brands,
the Group is proud to provide the
“one-stop” complete solution and
equipment in the range of “pre-
treatment, dyeing, after-treatment
and waste water treatment”.
Message from CEO
“CHTC Fong’s Group was established in 1963. Today, CHTC FONG’S has developed a leading position in the
world textile machinery industry with a comprehensive range and brands of textile dyeing and finishing
machinery. Consequently we offer the widest range of premium technologies, products and services to our

Furthermore, although the textile machinery is and will be the company’s main focus, we have also successfully
established our strategic business divisions of stainless steel trading and stainless steel casting. These two
divisions are not only independently profitable but also help to competitively secure the sourcing of stainless
steel raw materials and components for our machinery business.
We will continue to improve the technologies and quality of our products and services, and to look for ways to
introduce a wider range of products to our customers to meet their needs. Given the strength of our leading
position in the global market, with a comprehensive product portfolio, reputable brand names, and a strong
customer base, our aim is to consolidate our position as one of the largest and most reliable dyeing and
finishing machinery manufacturers in the world.
We will continue to focus on strengthening our business foundation to ensure a strong base on which we can
rely to explore new opportunities for the development of our businesses, broaden our revenue base, increase
the growth potential and thus enhance the shareholder’s value.

lamination. It is a printing system with an engraved roller, in

which little cavities are engraved for transfer of the adhesive
to the web substrate. Different patterns are available (round
dots, pyramidal, nets, lines, etc.) depending on the laminated
product.

Using the hot melt process this machine applies adhesive as

Hotmelt
Hotmelt
Hotmelt adhesives commonly used in textile are one-component solvent-
free thermoplastic polymers (non-reactive) or thermoset pre-polymers
(reactive) heated to melting point prior to their application. Hotmelt are
applied onto a substrate material such as woven, knits, nonwovens, foams,
membranes, films, nets, silicon paper, etc. in hot plasticized state. This
process is called coating.
Cavimelt
The rotogravure system Cavimelt is the most commonly applied method for
dots or in predefined patterns using an engraved roller on film,
web and textile substrates. Both reactive and thermoplastic
adhesives can be used. The coating is generally used to
laminate additional materials, or to alter the material surface.
A doctor blade seals the trough towards the engraved roll and
cleans the surface of the latter. The web, lead between gravure
roll and counter roll, is thus taking over the adhesive according
to the engraving pattern.
The Cavimelt process is similar to the rotogravure printing
process. The molten adhesive is put in a heated trough which
is longitudinally in contact with the rotating gravure roll. In this
manner, the cavities of the gravure roll are filled with adhesive.

Menzel expander rollers are based on experiences of many years regarding
the textile, paper, nonwovens and film industry. Their main characteristics
are a heavy-duty layout, an especially easy run, abrasion-proof rubber
coatings, and they are nearly maintenance-free. The bow rollers are
operating in dry as well as in wet environments at any place where webs
must be guided without wrinkles. The expansion effect is attained by the
curved form of the roller in connection with the wrap angle. The expansion
effect can be varied by changing the clearance angle.

nonwovens. The machine is suitable for automatic positioning and winding
on non-primed steel cores or cardboard tubes. A specially designed cross-
cutting device squares different kinds of fabric without accumulator at high
production speed. Feeding of the sleeves respectively cores is effected by
an automatic paternoster device. The winder can either be designed as
center winder, contact winder or even winder with gap adjustment. Thus
winding characteristics of any kind can be realized to be saved and recalled
via menu control.
Unwinder turret unwinder m200-06
The turret unwinder is designed for 5.600 mm wide and heavy technical
textiles. The fabric is fed into the turret winder by means of a crane. The
steel winding cores are taken up via automatic bearings. Selvedge on
selvedge unwinding is guaranteed by a selvedge alignment system.
ORW technology allows integrating additional threads into the weaving
process by using special thread guides arranged between the reed and
weaving shafts. Linear drives shift the thread guides horizontally on a
profile depending on the pattern. The additional pattern threads create a
filling effect on the fabric surface that can be controlled as desired. This
filling effect is similar to embroidery and Scherli patterns. ORW technology
therefore offers more flexibility and pattern options domestic textile
applications (e.g. curtains, tablecloths) and clothing materials.

have contributed to effective business management of customer.

Generally the mechanism of single-pass printer is prone to cause line-dot

About
missing picture for ejection errors of inkjet head. To overcome the problem, the
NASSENGER SP-1 equips the ejection error nozzle detection function to check
inkjet head nozzle with sensors at standby printing. This function can specify ejection error
nozzles with laser and sensor.

In addition, the NASSENGER SP-1 has also been equipped with the function to compensate
for inkjet head ejection errors for minimized down time of printer during maintenance and
exchange of inkjet head because of error nozzle outbreak.

Using that function for specifying error nozzle, the NASSENGER SP-1 manages inkjet head
and compensates missing dot data by error nozzle with ejection of optimal ink drop size.
After that, customer can come back to usual printing job in a short time.

Yasuhiro Matsui, the head engineer in the NASSENGER SP-1 development, talks about the
back ground and technical superiority of those functions,

“We thought that it is important point of development for a single-pass textile printer how we
can reduce loss in the working time, because single pass printers must have high productivity.
If a printer would stop for some error, the down time means a huge lost opportunity.
136 CEO Handbook
When missing print picture caused of
ejection error nozzle occurs, customers have
to do head cleaning or, if cleaning result
is not good, they must change and adjust
inkjet print head itself. Inkjet head exchange
and adjustment jobs need a long time, and
that time will be a big opportunity loss.
Our new inkjet module can eject optimal
drop size ink. By combining identification
of error nozzle and compensation
and control of the ink drop size, the
NASSENGER SP-1 equipped with this
module can cancel line dot error at
printing. This is the fruit of technical
harmony that Konica Minolta can deliver
because we develop all of inkjet head,
printer, and ink on our own.
We believe that we can contribute to not
only reduction of opportunity loss, man-
hours, but also cutting down our customer’s
TCO with less maintenance times for
exchange and cleaning of inkjet head.

Message from CEO
At Konica Minolta Group, the philosophy, “The Creation of New Value,”
is always at the core of our corporate activities. Faithful to this credo, we
have been making concerted efforts to deliver needed value to society
and customers. To continue these efforts and promote corporate activities
toward further enhancing value, we are now facilitating a shift to a truly
customer-centric organization under our Medium Term Business Plan,
which started in FY2014.
One of the core operations of Konica Minolta is our inkjet business, which
Mr. Katsuaki Komatsu, CEO
started in 1995. Placing the utmost importance on offering products with
higher print quality to customers, we have been striving to meet such challenging goal by developing
and implementing specific strategies.
We have been developing inkjet products, namely printheads, inks, and printing systems, by integrating
a variety of core technologies of the Konica Minolta Group, and offering the products to customers who
needs high value-added solutions.
We, Konica Minolta, develop and launch onto the market major components of inkjet printing, such
as printheads and inks, as well as output systems, such as printers, by leveraging our proprietary core
technologies, especially precision processing technologies, material design technologies and image
processing technologies. The Konica Minolta Group has developed a number of technologies in various
business areas, and thus possesses all these key devices in-house. This is a major strength of the Konica
Minolta Group. In recent years, we have been offering environmentally friendly products, while sharing
our internally developed know-how to reduce environmental impacts, such as effluent treatment
measures, with our business partners as part of our group-wide efforts for environmental preservation.
We offer inkjet printing systems globally. We think the textile printing market in particular has a huge
potential for growth, and in 1997, we launched an inkjet textile printer, becoming the first company to
offer a printer exclusively for textile printing.
Unlike conventional textile printing, such as screen textile printing, which uses plates, inkjet textile
printing does not require plate-making, and thus is suitable for small-lot, short-run production. To be
specific, inkjet textile printing is capable of printing and producing textile products that meet varied
needs, allowing users to produce textiles of different designs for each season without the need to carry

We believe that we can contribute to not only reduction
of opportunity loss, man-hours, but also cutting down
our customer’s TCO with less maintenance times for
exchange and cleaning of inkjet head.
excessive inventories. Also, an inkjet textile printing system allows users
to print directly from a PC, which means its operation is easier to master
compared to conventional screen textile printing, and the continuity and
stability of printing tasks at user sites is ensured. Furthermore, an inkjet
textile printing system enables standardization of the production process
and reduction of environmental impacts by largely reducing effluent
discharge, and thus has a lot of advantages over a conventional system.
In 2015, we launched three innovative new inkjet textile printers onto the
market.
Just a couple years ago inkjet textile printer had lower productivity than
that of screen textile printing machines and this made users reluctant
to introduce inkjet textile printer. This is no longer the case with the
NASSENGER SP-1, a new product we unveiled at ITMA 2015. The NASSENGER
SP-1 employs a mechanism to minimize deficiencies that may happen
during production, and is characterized by high productivity equal to that of
screen textile printing, high image quality and exceptional user-friendliness.
For example, combining newly developed sensor detection technology
with image processing technology, this product employs a detection and a
compensation system of nozzle-missing, and thus can minimize defective
CEO Handbook 137
printing and reduce failed prints. In addition, the product is characterized
by easy maintenance, which helps to minimize the downtime of the printer
and thus the number of opportunities lost, while reducing TCO in the
printing process.
In 2015, we also launched the NASSENGER 10 and the NASSENGER 8,
new scan-type inkjet textile printers, which are ideal for small-lot variable
printing. These two models can achieve the same color matching as best
as the higher-end model, the NASSENGER SP-1. Image processing and
color matching functions are strengths of Konica Minolta, along with its
proprietary know-how in color material design and in-house development
capabilities.
In FY2014, we opened sales and customer support centers in China and
Italy: two important textile markets. In the center we opened in Italy, in
October 2015, we also established a Demonstration & Training Center to
give demonstrations of our products and provide training to customers.
The center also serves as a showroom. In Italy and the rest of Europe, as
well as in Asia, we will continue to offer and bring specific, high value-
added solutions to customers to help them expand business and reduce
environmental impacts with our innovative NASSENGER series of textile
printers. We will also strive for the prosperity of the textile printing market
at large by educating customers who have introduced inkjet textile printers
to better utilize these products and by giving prospective customers
information on the merits of introducing inkjet textile printers.
As demonstrated by its application for textile printing, inkjet technology
has huge potential. While this technology can be used for many different
purposes and has a variety of possibilities, it has been used in only a small
percentage of print systems.
We, Konica Minolta, are determined to assist our customers expand
their businesses, improve their business efficiency, and contribute to the
enhancement of their corporate value, under the slogan “Let’s start an
industrial revolution with the inkjet technology!”

Features common to both models
These models are equipped with newly-developed inkjet printheads, which
is also used in the highest-end model, NASSENGER SP-1. With the adjustable
ink droplet size (large, medium, and small), coupled with the combination
of Konica Minolta’s proprietary dark- and light-colored inks, these models
are capable of higher-quality reproduction of color gradients and thin lines
as well as fine, repetitive geometric patterns that are difficult to reproduce
on conventional textile printers.
While printing of some designs is likely to cause problems such as
streaking and uneven image density, Konica Minolta’s state-of-the-art
image processing technology in these models minimizes such problems
and reduces defective prints. The models are also easy to maintain thanks
to advanced functions for reducing troubles likely to cause downtime
such as: network-based remote access; notification of the printer status
by email; automatic detection of fabric wrinkles; prevention of fabric from
colliding with the printhead carriage; and automatic NASSENGER 10 Inkjet

disperse dye ink*2 and reactive ink*3. The reactive ink meets the criteria of
the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)*4.
The models employ an easy-to-use touch panel and user interface.
Inkjet textile printers are steadily penetrating the market backed by
recent improvements of printhead functionality, ink quality, and printer
performance, as well as the unique capabilities of digital printing, namely:
(1) On-demand printing,
(2) Plateless printing and design flexibility, and
(3) Greater environment friendliness resulting from the reduction of
effluent and use of fuels.
With its brand proposition “Giving Shape to Ideas,” Konica Minolta remains
committed to innovations in the manufacturing process in the textile
printing market by offering higher performance products, and to helping
customers enhance their corporate value, while joining the global effort to
reduce environmental threats.

Areas of expertise
With rotary screen-printing any textile printing solution is possible. Just
imagine it and we’d be happy to brainstorm with you and deliver the
screens and printing systems, customized to your needs, to create the
desired result. Add power to your fabrics using a large scale of coating
possibilities and special effects. SPGPrints is committed to the total solution
approach: high-quality pre-press (incl. direct laser engraving), innovative
consumable concepts and highly reliable printing systems.
Rotary Screens
Rotary Screens
Unique SPGPrints screens and lacquers
SPGPrints produced its first flat-screen textile-printing machine over half a
century ago, in 1953. Ten years later, we unveiled our revolutionary rotary
screen printing concept. This was an immediate success, and is now used
for printing most of the world’s textiles.
Now, after more than 50 years of extensive research and innovation in
the electroforming process, SPGPrints maintains its position as worlds the
leading rotary screen producer.
We offer a complete consumables programme, including NovaScreen®,
PentaScreen®, Standard Screen, Special Screens, endrings, lacquers and
chemicals that comply with rigorous quality and sustainability specifications.
All NovaScreen® rotary screens incorporate a patented design with unique
benefits you won’t find anywhere else. By combining a high mesh count
with minimum spacing between holes that are extra wide and have an
ingenious conical styling, the open area is remarkably large. Thus, the
maximum amount of paste is transferred to the substrate, boosting print
quality and productivity by printing at higher speed levels while using less
paste.
Screen printing
Screen printing
The right rotary print system for every print job SPGPrints provides high-
quality solutions that allow textile printers everywhere to increase efficiency,
boost productivity and raise profitability. Our product portfolio contains
innovative and comprises reliable systems to suit all levels of investment.
We offer everything from complete installations of new printing lines to
upgrades of existing equipment.
Digital printing
The second revolution in textile printing
For the past three decades, SPGPrints has played a leading role in advancing
digital inkjet machine and ink technology, for the textiles, wallcovering and
– latterly – for narrow-web markets.
The culmination of these efforts are the single-pass PIKE® printer with
production capacity of up to 13 million meters per year, the JAVELIN® printer,
with an annual production potential for up to two million meters, and its
range of inks manufactured in-house.

Digital printing
The printers feature SPGPrints’ unique Archer® print head technology,
providing controlled, clean ink delivery. The nozzles are 4mm from the
substrate, compared with the more usual 1.5mm nozzle-fabric distance. This
means a wider range of substrates can be run, a reduction of the chance
of print head damage. Archer technology enables a gamut wider than the
HD-gamut of other digital textile printing solutions. In addition, SPGPrints’
‘Archer Print Head Program’, provides a two-and-a-half year guarantee on
the print heads in combination with the use of accredited inks.
The printers use an array of Fujifilm Dimatix Samba print heads to cover
the 1850mm width with sharp image production. Fine line details, smooth
gradients, blotches and geometrics can be accurately printed thanks to variable
drop-size capability (2pL – 10pL) at resolutions of up to 1200 x 1200dpi.
Screen Engraving
CEO Handbook 145
The PIKE and JAVELIN introductions have enabled printers worldwide to
offer outstanding quality, greater design variety and shorter time-to-market
– whether for short runs or long.
SPGPrints’ range of NEBULA inkjet inks for textile applications offer a
broad colour gamut, optimised drying and excellent runnability with all
digital printers using Kyocera print heads. Developed and manufactured by
SPGPrints, the inks come in four chemistries – Reactive HD (high density),
Acid HD, Disperse and Sublimation.
Screen engraving
SPGPrints is renowned as the leading partner for digital engraving. In
addition to an exceptional screen and conventional engraving programme,
SPGPrints is also recognized as the leading partner for digital engraving.
The company’s laser engraving systems have been a feature of the textile
industry for over 25 years, offering a faster, more efficient, high quality, and
eco-friendly approach to imaging. This single-step ‘laser’ process is a purely
digital means of printing formed imaging: simply engrave your desired
design and rinse. It eliminates costly products like film and time-consuming
processes such as exposure, washing and drying.
