The first POY system with WINGS winding units in China started producing successfully at Zhejiang Tong Kun at the beginning of the year. In terms of the commissioning, the WINGS concept once again proved that it keeps its promises. The polyester POY spinning system with 48 positions was assembled, commissioned and signed off in a record time of only 18 days.

With 1.3 million tons per year, the company, located in the Zhejiang Province, is one of China’s largest filament yarn manufacturers. WINGS integrates godets and tangle unit into the winder. In addition to increasing productivity and efficiency, this plug and 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.
