He added that it has been almost three years since the introduction of the company’s popular short stretch conversion system. “Most of the customers are enjoying the benefits, and we have completed installing millions of spindles successfully”.
Mr. Senthil Raja added: “After the success of the short stretch conversion system, we have now come up with yet another surprise. Ariser Compact is one more winner from our company.”
Elaborating on the development of the product, he explained: “Ariser Compact spinning system for ring frame has a very long history and in fact has revolutionized the spinning industry to a large extent. Still the need for good compact spinning system was always felt.”
“There is a list of things that a good compact spinning system should include – the lowest in investment cost, hence quick pay back, less than six months; lowest maintenance cost, so less recurring cost, less than Rs. 20 per spindle / year; equipped with latest developments, for better performance and quality than the competitors; and better aftersales and service.
Mr. Senthil Raja further pointed out: “We at Mecgrowths understand the above points clearly and have proudly introduced Ariser Compact. It comes in two categories – Ariser Compact for the existing pneumatic top arm and Ariser Compact Plus with spring loaded top arm.”
The versatile Ariser Compact is suitable for spinning 100% cotton, 100% viscose and its blends, 100% polyester and its blends and polyester / viscose.
According to Mr. Senthil Raja, the benefits of the spinning system include, for the knitting segment, minimum 10% higher production in spinning, better raw material utilization, comparatively better yarn with cheaper raw material and lower pilling rate. Most of the end-users are using Ariser Compact yarn for increased turnover with compact yarns when compared to the conventional yarns.
As regards to weaving, Mr. Senthil Raja stated that warp yarns for shirting and sheeting are now necessarily Ariser Compact. “Weavers prefer the yarn for high production in loom as compact yarn yields higher efficiency on the looms, with 40% less warp end breaks, 30% less weft end breaks, and 15% higher production.”
