Can you explain your criteria for choosing Truetzschler drawframes?
During our project discussion we compared drawframes of several manufacturers. Here Truetzschler had a slight edge over others. We even gathered information from other spinners in the region. It was very important for us to have good drawframe in our process as it is the last quality check in the process.
In conclusion, we found that Truetzschler machines were the best in the market. We are glad that it was a right decision as now we are enjoying the benefits of Truetzschler drawframes.
Could you please explain in more detail the Truetzschler edge?
Based on our experience of Truetzschler machines, here are the main reasons:
a.Latest technology
b.Timely after-sales service
c.Consistent and competitive quality output
What is that most important feature which makes the Truetzschler drawframe mill-friendly?
Features like interchangeability of electrical and electronic components in cards and drawframes ensure very low downtime and less inventory for us. Changing the hank hardly takes a minute and there is no need to replace any gears. All quality and production data can be seen on the colour display along with the running parameters.

We strongly recommend Truetzschler drawframes to everybody. Our technical team is of the opinion that Truetzschler machines are user friendly and very easy to maintain. The sturdy German technology ensures high quality and low maintenance costs.
