Whether in the form of a lifter in combination with our rail transport system FlexFlow or the automated guided vehicle PackDrive, the modern automation solutions offered by Saurer are the next step into the future.

Easier and faster with new machine generation

The new generation of our carpet yarn machine, our CarpetCabler CarpetTwister 1.10, offers an optimum of possibilities for reliably and confidently mastering even the most unusual requirements of a lively market.

Central adjustments of almost all production parameters, an intuitive user interface and the newly designed take-up area significantly reduce the machine's changeover times. Modern drive technology and innovative yarn sensor technology for monitoring the yarn quality generate significant added value for our customers.

Process control with Saurer Mill Management System Senses

This digital system bundles and analyses production, quality and performance data across all divisions. Even machines from third-party manufacturers can be managed. Plan deviations, quality fluctuations or irregularities are thus detected in real time, enabling mill managers to react quickly. They can also use the sum of the data to analyse processes comprehensively in order to find opportunities for optimisation.

The Saurer exhibition team is looking forward to welcoming customers and visitors at the Domotex 2020 and to informing them about the latest developments.
