Grasim has added Rieter’s latest air-jet spinning machine the J 26 at its textile center in Gujarat.

The joint co-operation between Grasim and Rieter will provide benefits both in downstream processing and in the fabric and will explore the production of best quality air-jet spun yarns and fabrics made from viscose staple fiber of Grasim and its blends. The conducted trials and development work results in distinct end products with yarns spun from mature technologies and sustainable fibers.

Grasim is a flagship company of the Aditya Birla Group and is among India’s largest private sector conglomerates and a global player in viscose staple fiber. Its textile center is a pilot plant involved in addressing the downstream textile value chain and provides comprehensive research and development for all viscose staple fiber manufacturing units belonging to the Aditya Birla group. The center helps upholding Aditya Birla’s strong commitment toward contributing technological advancements and producing eco-sustainable products.

Rieter’s air-jet spinning machine includes unique characteristics that differentiate it from other air-jet machines. This machine coupled with the industry benchmark autoleveler draw frame RSB-D 50 guarantees the perfect combination of spinning preparatory and end spinning. The unique Com4 jet yarn structure excels by its low pilling tendency, high washing resistance and dimensional stability and offers great potential in the development of new, innovative products.
