Since inception of Indian opera-
tions, ITEMA Weaving has sold on
an average 300-350 machines every
year.
The Alpha PGA is the most flex-
ible machine with regard to insert-
ing different weft materials and yarn
counts into the same fabric (e.g.,
upholstery). This provides more
flexibility, higher efficiency of pro-
duction and convenience for style
changes. It also weaves an unlimited
range of fabrics and materials at a
high production level.
Sultex A9500
Sultex A9500 is the latest in air-
jet technology which was unveiled
at ITMA Barcelona in September. It
was a major attraction for custom-
ers there. With its high performance
and simplified design, the
air-jet weaving machine
sets new standards for pro-
ductivity and operational
simplicity. No compro-
mises were made during its
designing. It ensures excel-
lent fabric quality with low
air consumption.
Unique in concept, the
machine is equipped with
a special shed geometry
designed to promote a long
dwell while drastically re-
ducing air consumption.
The long weft insertion
time and the high efficient
nozzles insure the opti-
mum acceleration curve for
any type of yarn. The full
color touch screen display
offers new functionalities
and opens the door to an
efficient dialogue with the
ITEMA Service Network.
The Sultex A9500 air jet weaving
machine is best suited for medium
to heavy denim, colored weaving
and sheeting applications. Apart
from installations in Italy, Germany
and China, the machine has already
been supplied to two weaving mills
in India.
LoomBrowser
The LoomBrowser is a software
package that brings all production
data and setting data present in the
weaving machine to the compu-
ter. Its installation on the PC of the
customer’s choice helps to monitor
the efficiency, change and down-
load machine settings and create or
download new weft and dobby pat-
terns. Simple clicking on the ma-
chine of their choice, within the ma-
chine layout, will give them access
to all machine information.
The software package monitors
efficiency, stop levels and technical
status, facilitate change & download
machine settings, create or down-
load new weft and dobby patterns,
and up & download shift schedules.
ITEMA is only company that can
offer a solution for any need, no
matter how difficult it is. It is the
company with the right products for
high-fashion and specialized indus-
trial fabrics.
The Customer Day function re-
cently conducted by ITEMA at
Erode and Madurai was well attend-
ed by the technicians and millown-
ers in that region.
Mr. Gerard Hunziker, Sales Direc-
tor for India, explained in details of
the machines’ special features and
how it benefits customer in terms
of productivity, quality and cost of
operation.
Mr. Tapas Nandi, President &
Country Head, welcoming the gath-
ering, spoke on infrastructure of
ITEMA Weaving India. Apart from
its strong Sales and Service set-
up, the Electronic Repair Centre in
Coimbatore has special instruments

ITEMA machines economically and

The function was an amazing plat-
form for a casual interaction among
customers and manufacturers which
gave the organizers a chance to in-
teract with the customers in South
