“Truetzschler – a winning formula for us” – Arisudana
Arisudana Industries Limited manufactures specialised range of 100% polyester, yarns as well as polyester rich blends with other synthetic or cellulosic fibres like acrylic, viscose, bamboo & linen. It also makes these blends in value added variations including mélanges, fancy effects like neps, hairy, slub, injection, jaspe, etc.
Arisudana also expanded to airjet spinning in 2002. Under the visionary leadership of its Managing Director, Mr Gagan Khanna, the airjet project included Truetzschler DK-780 cards and HSR 1000 draw-frames.
With its focus on quality and the latest technology machinery, Arisudana has carved a niche in the Indian textile industry for vortex yarns. To meet the growing demand for its airjet yarns, Arisudana steadily increased the capacity from 1728 to 2880 positions from 2012 to 2016. It further added 1728 airjet spinning positions in 2017, which was fully commissioned in March 2018.
This latest expansion once again includes many Truetzschler machines: 4 Truetzschler blow-room lines, 16 Truetzschler TC 10 1/S cards, 8 Truetzschler twin-delivery draw-frames TD 9T and 8 Truetzschler finisher TD 8 draw-frames.
When asked about the choice of machines for this latest expansion, Mr Gagan Khanna said “The polyester yarn spun on MJS airjet spinning machines is superior to ring spun in terms of pilling, hairiness, drape/fall, dye pick-up, wicking, fabric life, wash resistance etc. It is also superior to MVS polyester in terms of drape/fall, dye pick-up, wicking, wash resistance, weak spots, etc. This is possible only when we have the best quality from the preparatory machines. Hence, we decided to stick with our winning formula of Truetzschler blow-rooms, cards and draw-frames”.
He further added that “when we were in the process of installing airjet machines in 2002, we wanted to go for the state-of-the-art sliver preparation machinery and we zeroed in on DK-780 and HSR 1000 machines which were the best machines available in the market. This was the beginning of our long journey with Truetzschler”.
Mr Sidharth Khanna, Director of Arisudana Industries Limited, represents the third generation of the Khanna family in the management of the company. When quizzed about Truetzschler’s technology he said “We are very happy with Truetzschler machines. The quality of engineering, self-cleaning mechanisms, trouble-free working, and the output quality and productivity are excellent. Besides, our technicians find it very easy to shift from one product to the other and are able to make all the necessary adjustments easily. This is especially useful for spinners like us who are making several varieties of yarn.”
Talking of his experience with A.T.E., Mr Sidharth Khanna said that “No doubt, A.T.E. has been a good medium between us & our machinery suppliers, Truetzschler & Luwa. A.T.E. has always been supportive and forthcoming with information. It has always been a pleasant experience interacting with the A.T.E. team.”
Mr Gagan Khanna further added that “We are planning to put up another ring spinning plant and as A.T.E. represents Truetzschler as well as Luwa, it will play a pivotal role in our expansion.”
