Mr. Sandro Salmoiraghi, President, Salmoiraghi SpA

As always, the Salmoiraghi Automatic Handling Group will be present at the ITMA Asia & CITME 2014 exhibition. Salmoiraghi is the internationally reputed market leader in automated handling and storage systems for yarn bobbins and textile products. Fifty-year experience in this highly specialised field and a creative engineering approach are just two of the numerous factors that are the key to the company’s overall success.

The Salmoiraghi field-proven technology works in more than 150 automation systems installed in 15 countries, augmenting plant efficiency and profitability worldwide.

Every day, the company automated handling systems process over 1.500.000 synthetic yarn bobbins.

Salmoiraghi will be exhibiting the latest generation Doffer at ITMA Asia. It is a special system for bobbin pick-up from virtually any kind of winder, and transfer to overhead or ground transport vehicles for subsequent automated handling. The Doffer is the mainstay and symbol of Salmoiraghi automation systems for continuous yarn plants.

Salmoiraghi developed and deployed the first successful fully automatic Doffers in the 1970s. Since then, many hundreds of these reliable machines were manufactured and installed worldwide. Indeed, many Salmoiraghi Doffers have been in continuous service for over 20 years.

The soundness of the original machine concept is proven by the fact that it is maintained to this day, albeit incorporating the latest generation components and improvements.

The 2014 Doffer features many sustainable technology solutions, making it the “greenest”, quietest and most reliable Doffer ever. This is certified by the “Green Label” affixed to the machine.

A significant number of these Doffers are already working in plants of leading synthetic fiber manufacturers in China.

Visitors to the company’s stand will have the opportunity to discuss their specific textile automation needs with the Salmoiraghi team. Extensive multimedia documentation will be available to show the various engineering solutions available for small, medium and large textile plants.

The company production range covers automated handling and warehousing systems for the textile industry, autowarehouses for bobbin pallets, bales and fabric rolls, automated logistic terminals, internal handling and storage systems for industrial plants, overhead transport systems with payloads from 10 to 1,000 kg, various types of ground conveyors and load transport vehicles, product bulk packing lines, machine control and system supervision software, and factory automation systems.
