of Erhardt+Leimer (India) Private
Ltd., said: “E+L displayed a new
compact stenter infeed device, new
pick counter for knit fabrics and
new cutting device for knit fabrics
on stenters which reduces trim wast-
ages. E+L also exhibited process
controls for stent-
ers such as fabric
temperature, re-
sidual moisture
control and ex-
haust humidity
controls. The new
stenter infeed de-
vice KR 60 and
the cutting device
BTA 80 for knit
fabric on stenters
are path-breaking
innovations from
E+L”.
This year’s
ITMA was
marked by a high-
er number of visitors from emerg-
ing markets like India, Pakistan,
Bangladesh, Brazil, Egypt, etc. The
response from Indian visitors was
good, and it appears that there are
quite a few Indian customers who
are investing in modernization or
expansion of the processing units.
“For our new products such as
BTA 80 cutting device, process con-
trol equipment for stenter and weft
straightener, we expect good re-
sponse from Indian customers. We
have already successfully commis-
sioned pilot installations of residual
moisture control for stenter, new
generation KR 60 stenter in feed de-
vice and the cutting device BTA 80
for knit fabric on stenters. Based on
success of these pilot installations,
we expect to get more orders”, Mr.
Rajaram added.
This year E+L India is expecting
an overall growth of 10 per cent in
value terms compared to last year.
For the E+L Group, the Indian oper-
ations are important not just because
India is an emerging market but E+L
India is also a global manufacturing
hub for the group for some of the
textile products.
