In the fast-paced market of synthetic yarns, answering the ever-increasing customers’ demands in a timely manner is a crucial competitive advantage. Since 2002, the synthetic yarn manufacturer TURKTEX has excelled at finding newer, better, and faster ways to satisfy its customers’ demands, almost in no time. With SSM DP5-T, TURKTEX takes its competitiveness and mission towards customers to the next level.

The independent Turkish textile company, TURKTEX, focuses on the world of synthetic yarns, and is a brand of Turkuaz Tekstil San. ve Tic. A.Ş. group. Founded in 2002, in Bursa, Turkey’s textile hub, TURKTEX has relied on SSM texturing machines from the very beginning, enabling the company to respond to customers’ demands with innovative, fast and flexible solutions.

Due to its superior products, TURKTEX is now Turkey’s leading company in the high value-added continuous filament sector, especially for polyester (PES) and polypropylene (PP) yarns. Its production portfolio includes yarns for home textiles (such as curtains, upholstery, mattress ticking and carpets), fashion, automotive fabrics as well as yarns for technical applications, outdoor and military. Besides supplying the local market, the company exports its products to more than 30 countries.

The largest portfolio to meet customers’ demands at any time
TURKTEX has the ambition to become the Amazon of yarns, that is the biggest synthetic yarn retailer. With a huge portfolio including polypropylene (PP) or polyester (PES) in divergent forms (recycled, flame retardant and more), various final yarn counts up to 2 000 denier, each available in 50 different colors, the company is on track to succeed.

DP5-T: the right solution to handle large assortments
In order to provide its huge range of yarns with short lead times, TURKTEX is dependent on reliable, fast, flexible and easy-to-use machines that are also quick and simple to maintain.

SSM machines have proved to be the perfect solution. In 2020, TURKTEX acquired the last SSM texturing machine DP5-T to help the company meet the demand in Air Textured Yarn (ATY) made of PES and PP (Fig. 1). It then invested in a DP5-FT false twist-texturing machine to drive business in the Drawn Texturized Yarn (DTY) market as well.

Today, the company stores approximately 1 000 different recipes in its SSM DP5-T machines and changes around every other second day the settings of the spindles. Any recipe can be removed and put back into production without any quality or repeatability issues. With its individual drive concept, the DP5-T makes it easy to switch between recipes, an indispensable feature for TURKTEX as it responds to the ever-changing needs of its markets.

TURKTEX is very satisfied with SSM’s support, service and technicians. Plant Manager, Mr. Ömer Efendioğlu (Fig 2.), highlights: "SSM cares about our needs and supports us from the first negotiation to the commissioning of the machine and beyond."

Flexibility, fast response and excellent quality
TURKTEX has a strong internal textile research and development department which ensures innovative products. To make these products a reality in the desired quality, the company can count on SSM. Mr. Dündar Cetin (Fig. 3), owner and technical director of TURKTEX, is convinced that it is crucial to satisfy customers' requirements immediately and without delay. He states: "Always keeping promises and ensuring excellent quality is possible for us, thanks to SSM DP5-T."

Flexibility is another critical factor. While standard batches in the industry are usually over 2 tons, TURKTEX handles many small orders, as low as 50 kg. Changing raw material and parameters can be laborious, but with the DP5-T, it is easy for operators to switch between orders.

In summary, Mr. Cetin says: "I am really very happy about the cooperation with SSM because we follow the same values with our identical slogan: Flexible, Fast, Safe."

纱线以及卷装的多样性 - 特殊挑战
问题是：络筒机通常不能够直接生产出易于染色的卷装，这是由于存在粗支纱，低支纱，粗糙纱细，光洁纱线，圆柱形卷装以及圆锥形卷装 … 其原因数不胜数。优异的络筒机会将所有的参数都考虑进去，同时，能持续稳定地生产高品质卷装。一旦纱线卷装以不理想的方式卷绕，这种状况会导致下道工序出现问题，从而使得产品处于劣势。这种劣势会消耗大量的时间与金钱，这也正是竞争激烈的纺织行业的致胜要素。因此，SSM与著名的大学合作，开发出特定的纱线排列程序，无论何种纱线，均可使络筒机能够卷绕出完美的卷装。

以图像取代实验室测试
工程师们和数学家们选择特殊的方法，他们并不是测量纱线张力，线密度，材质以及纱线直径，并将这些参数集合至复杂的公式中，而是将SSM的专业知识转化为理论，这样做能够对筒子纱的结构以及密度分布精准预测。从数论中运用这些方法，最终专业技术人员能控制络筒过程中的“混乱动态系统”。

以这套算法为基础，开发出的DIGICONE®2算法能嵌入到络筒机控制系统软件中。通过络筒过程中的高速记录以及借助X线计算机层析成像技术，最终证实了SSM在这一项目上的成功（见对比图像）。结纶：相同结构的络筒机，之前并不总能卷绕出容易染色的筒子，而通过新的软件控制，则达到了这样的目的。

创新带来的竞争力优势
由于SSM与著名大学的合作，这一想法得以最佳地实施。Karaarslan说“DIGICONE®2算法使得我们能够在络筒机的市场上保持领先地位”。目前这种算法已经成功地运用在最新一代SSM机器上，顾客也已实质性地从中获益。

What’s a stable electricity supply?

An electricity supply is characterized by frequency, magnitude, waveform and symmetry of the three-phase-voltages. If the following disturbances exceed certain limits then the quality will be affected:

• main power shortages
• jitter light
• voltage variations
• frequency variations
• slow and rapid voltage changes (over-voltage, spikes)
• unbalance of three phase voltage
• harmonic distortion

An exact definition of a stable supply is given in the European Norm (ex. EN50160). SSM assures its machine function correctly if the norm is fulfilled.

How to test the electricity supply

To test if a supply is inside the norm you have to analyse your net over a long time. Variations over the seasons have to be taken into consideration (summer/winter influences etc.). Often a weekly analyse will give you sufficient information about your net. SSM can offer a short analyse of your net. Very often though consumers know their supply. Important are the amount of main power shortages and voltage variations.

How to connect the machine to the supply

A lot of errors can be avoided by connecting a machine correctly:

• Is the grounding system of the machine correct?
• Sufficient cross section of the supply pipe?
• Avoid connecting machines of different power classes to the same main distributor.

How to protect a machine

There are a number of devices that can help to protect a machine, e.g. UPS (unbreakable power interrupt), power stabiliser, flash protector, or net filter. It is important to choose the best and most economical solution. The beside checklist will help you to choose appropriate equipment.

The ratio between double strokes and number of revolutions is kept constant for a certain diameter range. The crossing angle varies only slightly within a range of ±1°. This results in an enhanced package density that does not change with increasing package diameter. So the building of pattern zones is avoided and the package maintains a stable structure without any ribbons. Due to this stable structure, the risk of complete layers “slipping off” during the unwinding process of dyed packages, as known with random winding, is completely eliminated.

The introduction of the XENO platform opened new possibilities for optimizing the winding algorithm. Thanks to this new machine platform, SSM could release DIGICONE® 2, enabling an increase of dye package density by another 10–24% with unchanged dyeing recipes.
