twist). It is an absolute innovation,
since this technology allows an in-
crease of process productivity of
33 per cent, with the same energy
consumption as the standard double
twist spindle. The system generates
a twisted yarn through two yarn bal-
lons, one external with “S” twist
direction, and one internal with “Z”
twist direction. A differential speed
motor bearing consequently gen-
erates a triple twist at each spindle
turn.
The whole device is designed and
patented by Savio. The increase in
productivity automatically leads to
a corresponding reduction in the
number of twisting spindles and,
therefore, of plant dimension, with
savings of noise, space, condition-
ing and lighting costs.
In general, the process cost of the
twisting is basically composed of
two fundamental factors: cost of in-
vestment and cost of electrical ener-
gy. Both represent a value of about
90 per cent of the total process costs.
In the case of the T&T spindle,
cost-effectiveness of the twisting
system is clear if one considers that,
with 25 per cent less spindles, the
same production is achieved, with a
cost per kg of twisted yarn inferior
to the conventional 2x1 technology
process. The return of investment,
which of course varies from coun-
try to country based on local energy
costs, is very quick and worthy of
note.
Savio is represented in Turkey by
Motex/Modiano which, since more
than 40 years, operates in this coun-
try. It has grown up to become today
a point of reference in Turkey for
the Italian textile machinery. Since
several years, the Motex/Modiano
structure has been strengthened by
the creation of Modiano Teknik Hiz-
metler for providing the customers
with a valid after-sales assistance.
This company, thanks to its high
qualified technical team in the me-
chanical and electronical field, car-
ries out the assembling and the tech-
nical assistance, also providing the
customers with spare parts on imme-
diate delivery from the warehouses
in Istanbul, Bursa and Gaziantep.
