Loepfe that reached record level of sales of all-time in 2011 has been offering quality-improving solutions in yarn production process for more than 50 years. The company, presenting the colored measurement sensors to the market first in 1991, is still a leader in this field. Producing optical-based electronic yarn clearers for winding machines, Loepfe always makes a name with the innovations brought to the global market. Their featured technologies at ITMA Asia exhibition were YarnMaster 3 in 1, foreign matter sensor, P2 Sensor against Polypropylene.
Zenit, Yarn Master® 3N1 and P-Sensor
YarnMaster Zenit is defined in the market as the most integrated control system for yarn. This technology allows producers control the whole process by displaying from the monitor. The machine also provides digital online quality control of Yarn Master® 3N1 in rotor spinning. Developed with 20-year experience, it is defined as a new technology offered to the field of polypropylene. The product regarded as positive by open-end customers thanks to its special sensor, has conventional net functions, F-sensor for foreign material analysis, P-sensor for synthetic foreign materials, and online detection feature. So, moire effect (Moiré effects), yarn number faults, fibre tape faults, detection of thick and thin places, visibility of the faults and controlling hairiness can be controlled. It is one of the most preferred machines with its structure that can meet the needs of yarn producers as much as this technology.
P2 Sensor against Polypropylene Delivers Productivity
P2 sensor is known with its technological structure different from similar products in the market. It removes the cutting defined by enterprises as “imaginary” cutting. Having a 20-year history on polypropylene, Loepfe raised the rate of productivity up to 90 percent in special yarns. With the Technologies produced, the company presents significant advantages to the customers in markets where cotton is prominent and there is a fight against cotton contamination such as Turkey, Pakistan, India and Egypt. Zenit electronic yarn clearer system shows the real structure of the yarn analytically to the user, so it attracts great attention in the market, we present a tough system. Apart from this, new generation P2 sensor offers major advantages to manufacturers. P2 sensor especially removes the polypropylene (PP) problem which causes great pressure on the yarn companies recently. Indefinable cuttings are being reduced, clearing performance is increasing vastly.
Sales Hit Record High in 2011
2011 was one of the best years for Loepfe Brothers Ltd. The company that produced 250.000 clearer machines last year broke an important record with this production amount. For Loepfe selling 75-80 percent of their products to China and India, Turkey is one of the most important markets. Turkey is always one of the biggest 5 markets in machinery sales and has a particular importance for us. The executives of Loepfe who participated in the ITM exhibition held in April had stated that they give a particular importance to Turkey that is continuously improving the market share.
