Egypt-based denim manufacturer, Lotustex Textile has acquired Karl Mayer’s first Link-Matic® system for automatic batch change on Prodye®-S slasher indigo dye range
The sophisticated automation solution considerably simplifies the batch change on indigo and sizing machines, thus increasing productivity by 30 per cent, depending on the number of batch changes per day.
The solution also reduces yarn waste upto 600 million on indigo dyeing range. It saves usable yarn material with each batch – while at the same time requiring less manpower. During batch changes, only one operator is required to prepare the warper beams for entry into the machine.
A fully automatic knotting unit couples the warp yarns of the new batch to the yarns of the batch just finished.
Founded in 2019, Lotustex Textile is first company to invest in the innovative Link-matic® system in recent months in order to optimize the performance of its Prodye®-S sizing machine. Especially for its activities in the fashion sector, Lotustex Textile expects a significantly higher flexibility and cost reduction. The delivery date for the new acquisition is November 2022.
