You have been associated with Savio
for years. Tell us about your experience.
Savio
makes excellent machines. We appreciate their constant attention to technical
development and upgrades. They are also very cooperative, and they respond to
our queries quickly and support us promptly. We are glad to associate with
Savio, as our experience with them has always been pleasant.
What were the deciding factors for
you to select Savio EcoPulsarS PLUS winder?
The
winder model EcoPulsarS PLUS is built on a different platform from regular
automatic winders and features individual suction, which is the key highlight
of the machine. The higher production and reduced hard waste are other
advantages. Further, manual doffing is made easier in EcoPulsarS PLUS, thanks
to the cradle with the touch sensor.
Which features of Savio EcoPulsarS PLUS do you like the best?
We
are happy with the EcoPulsarS PLUS’ advanced technology, which enables
efficient winding. The individual suction system for each spindle uses energy
only during bobbin changes and splicing. This enables huge energy saving as
compared to the common suction model. This machine is also operator friendly.
We have been able to realise in actual practice what we expected when we bought
the machine.
Apart from technology, what is your
feedback on after-sales support?
The
after-sales support from Savio is good. The after-sales support team is
knowledgeable, supportive, and regularly visits us. They also suggest technical
upgrades and developments to us.
