Despite India being one of the largest markets for Truetzschler worldwide, the business there in 2012 was a bit low, says Mr. Hermann Selker, Head of Sales and Marketing, Truetzschler Group. Pakistan was a most promising market for Truetzschler in 2012.
Despite the temporary slump, The Truetzschler Group continues to be quite optimistic about the future prospects in the Indian market. With a 800-strong team in India, the company continues to invest in its manufacturing facility and also increase the local content in the machines to make it more competitive in the domestic market.

TCO 12 Comber
The new Toyota-Truetzschler comber TCO 12 is the result of the joint efforts of the two world class producers of textile machinery. The product launched was demonstrated at India ITME. With the mechanical speed of up to 600 nips/min, the machine produces consistent, reproducible qualities of combed sliver of highest level, thanks to the 2-twin-drive technology.
The main advantages of TCO 12 are reduction of torsion to 25 per cent, reduction of vibration to less than 25 per cent, optimised sliver coiling geometry, simple optimisation of piecing process, and easier operation due to good accessibility.
The TCO 12 will be manufactured at the Indian plant of Truetzschler. The company is testing these machines before delivering to customers. The TCO 12 will be manufactured in India to cater to local demand, and will be exported to other global markets soon. The new comber will be marketed both by Toyota and Truetzschler.
TD 8 draw frame
The new Truetzschler draw frame TD 8 comes with new sensor technology. The new feed sensor disc leveller TD-DL ensures consistently uniform sliver count and significantly improves sliver count variation. The new quality sensor disc monitor TD-DM in the delivery area of the draw frame permanently monitors the quality data of the sliver.
The standard features of TD 8 are maintenance-free and digitally controlled motors, comprehensive quality monitoring, including spectrogram analyses and thick places monitoring, self-optimizing of the drafts, computer control with touch screen, active lifting of top rolls during standstill, and step-less setting of break draft, delivery speed and draft without changing wheels.
Truetzschler Card Clothing (TCC) focus will be on new developments such as the flats series NovoTop A and the first maintenance-free cylinder clothing FGX 1. In addition, the extensive service network in India and the service products are addressed by TCC.
