Remscheid, February 16th, 2010 – Two years after its market launch, WINGS now comes in a new guise.
The new release has been optimized above all in servicing, string-up and its operation window. And
all the measures are also extremely user-friendly as well.
WINGS 2010 can now also be used for titers up to 400 denier final. For this reason, WINGS now
covers the broadest range of manufactured POY filament yarns and provides yarn producers with
greater flexibility. Visually, the winding machine has moved from its revolutionary red to an
elegant black – WINGS is no longer “new”, it has become a permanent fixture that has firmly
established itself in the market after only two years.
WINGS integrates godets and tangle unit into the winder. In addition to increasing
productivity and efficiency, this plug & play machine unit, which premiered at the ITMA 2007 in
Munich, guarantees POY producers constantly excellent and even yarn quality. And less space
requirements and savings potentials with regards to operating staff make a valuable contribution
towards increasing efficiency. The optimized yarn path ensures even gentler yarn treatment and
hence first-class yarn quality.
