Setting new benchmarks in performance & quality
The Eco PulsarS automatic winder, manufactured by Savio Macchine Tessilli, Italy, is setting new benchmarks in performance and quality. Eco PulsarS has already carved a niche for itself among the leading textile players in India with many of its machines running successfully.
Presenting consistently superior performance in terms of huge power savings, productivity, yarn quality, ease of operation, maintenance, and space optimisation, Eco PulsarS is emerging as the preferred choice in the Indian market. A.T.E. and Savio are pleased to work together to serve Indian customers with this most advanced automatic winder.
One of the first customers reaping the benefits of the Eco PulsarS winder is Muthur Murugan Mills Ltd. (MMML), located on the outskirts of Coimbatore. The mill which currently has a capacity of 14,000 spindles was established in 1989 by SP Chinnaraj and SS Rajkumar with a single open end machine of 192 rotors to manufacture cotton yarn. Since then it has grown steadily.
MMML has attained power independence with the installation of wind mills for a reliable, eco-friendly power supply to the unit. The uninterrupted power supply helps MMML to meet the demands of its customers consistently without any disruption. With flexibility in terms of composition as well as quantity, MMML can develop a wide range of yarns and fabrics based on the customer requirements.
The following are excerpts of an interaction The Textile Magazine recently had with Mr. S.C. Vijayavelu, Executive Director, Muthur Murugan Mills Ltd.:
You are one of the first yarn spinners to install Savio’s Eco PulsarS winding machine. What encouraged you to take this decision and also to repeat it?
Yes, this is a really interesting question! I have already answered this question to a lot of yarn spinners. First, when we were thinking about purchasing an automatic winding machine, we had the other suppliers’ machine models running or installed and working in many mills in India. But the decision we took to buy Savio’s Eco PulsarS was on the good trust and reliability in Savio products through the Savio POLAR model which was highly successful and well established for years.
When it comes for Eco PulsarS, we could realise that the technology was new. This provides lots of advantages to the buyer. When the Savio team explained to us in detail those features, we could see that others do not have these technologies. Further, the clearer-LOEPFE and the splicer-MESDAN are the best in the industry which everyone knows are from the Savio Group. These are the reasons behind our decision to go with Eco PulsarS.
Once the first machine was installed, we found and experienced that the technology of Eco PulsarS started delivering as committed, and we are pleased to repeat the order. We are fully satisfied with the performance of the Eco PulsarS and the sales and service. We trust in the Savio team and in their new generation technology.
How far are your expectations fulfilled with SAVIO’s new model winder Eco PulsarS ?
Our expectations are 100% fulfilled with Eco PulsarS 80 drums when it comes to power. We are getting the lowest-ever UKG at present with the desired production and excellent package quality. The air consumption is also comparatively much less. We are comfortable with the hard waste as it is below the limits for our warp and knitting quality. In labour too, we have considerable savings with higher production. The overall performance is unmatched with other auto winders even with Savio’s earlier model as well.
Apart from technology, what is your feedback on aftersales and sales support?
Savio after sales is really excellent, and we have never expected so much of support from them, apart from the technology. This will again enhance the confidence in Savio Eco PulsarS to a large extent. After the sales responsibility was taken over by A.T.E., we could see a huge difference in the approach and process which is highly appreciable. We are highly satisfied with their regular follow-up and their updates to us as and when required.
What are your future plans as a spinner?
We strongly believe in “LET OUR QUALITY SPEAK.” Our future plans are to expand into the industrial textile market and to increase our capacity of production with new generation machinery. We want to grow more in the domestic market.
