This will result in great improvements in the spinning mills, thus creating value for money. This JSC 328A (with three licker-in, which is convertible to a single licker-in too) was displayed during the recently concluded ITMA ASIA 2018 Exhibition in Shanghai and was the talk of the show with customers and competitors alike!
A group of spinners from Gujarat who already have pre-spinning machineries installed in their respective factories, showed keen interest in the Saurer card and were taken to see the manufacturing plant at Jintan and thereafter to a mill where the cards were shown in running condition. Sathish Kumar, Head – Product Management, Saurer India, took the lead to show these customers on the manufacturing process of carding machines at Saurer, Jintan, China. Saurer card’s market share in China is around 24% with a production capacity of around 100 nos. carding machines per month.
