New false-twist texturing machine to stand out from mass production

摘要

In order to remain competitive, Rieter has developed the new Goal 1210 Fine, which is designed for market sectors where the yarn quality is still the main driver for investments. The figure shows why Chinese manufacturing capacity has such an impact on the world market for filament yarn and subsequently texturing machine sales. In 1990 the Chinese installed capacity for polyester textile filament yarn (POY) spinning was 554,000 tons/year. This capacity was similar to the totals of those of North America, Europe, Taiwan, Korea and the rest of SE Asia. However, whilst during the 90's spinning capacity in the western regions and Japan stagnated, Asian regions boomed. Even so, by any standard, Chinese capacity installations have dwarfed that of any other region. By 2000 capacity had increased nearly 10 fold and more than doubled again in the last 4 years. Even the big textile yarn markets of Taiwan and Korea have cut back in the face of market forces emanating from China.
