and E65 and Lakshmi LK 250,
LK 54 and LK 64 comber spares
Tex-Tech has developed criti-
cal spare parts like lap tension
plate (plastic), LP bridge, brake
off cylinders, pressure aggre-
gates, top comb carriers, top
comb brackets, ratchet wheels,
ratchet pawls, top comb hold-
ers, supporting bearings, front
supports, nipper cranks, bot-
tom detaching roller strippers,
etc., for Rieter E-65 and E66
combers. It has also recently
imported SPMs for the manu-
facture of spiral clearer rollers
for detaching top rollers to meet growing customer
demand.
Tex-Tech has gone in for full automation in the proc-
ess of manufacturing Unicombs by importing SPMs
from Germany. This has helped optimise production
along with consistency in quality. It has recently im-
ported a fully automatic plant for production of self-
cleaning top comb needles. The plant is under erec-
tion and will be commissioned within 2-3 months.
Tex-Tech’s flagship product, hi-production retrofit kit
E60 type for the 2nd generation combers of LR E7/4
and LK 250 has crossed the 1300-mark. The hi-pro-
duction retrofit kit E62 type for E7/5, E7/5a and E7/6
combers has also been an overwhelming success with
the installation of 40 combers in a single mill, Giza
Spg & Wvg Co. of Egypt.
Tex-Tech has recently introduced a hi-production ret-
rofit kit for upgrading the LK 54 combers to Rieter E62
type. This has ensured a 20 per cent increase in pro-
duction rates along with one per cent saving in noils.
It has also launched the retrofit kit for 2
nd
generation
sliver lap & ribbon lap machines, and now 50 retrofit
kits are running successfully to the satisfaction of cus-
tomers.
Through its continuous R&D, the company is well
poised to introduce some innovative products which
will shortly hit the market. With its world renowned
products it has now spread its wings to cover other
overseas markets like Egypt, Turkey, Indonesia, Bra-
zil, Argentina, Uzbekistan, Bangladesh and Vietnam
and is exploring the possibilities of penetrating oth-
er markets like Iran, Syria and some of the African
countries.
