The Empire Textiles was started as a knitting factory in 2003 by S Boopathy, having more than 20 years of rich experience in the knitting industry. The company is working as the agent for Yonthin Digital Equipments (CMS) company in India, and has recently installed 37 CMS brand machine at the Dixcy Textiles Pvt. Ltd.’s manufacturing plant at Uthukuli, Tirupur. The Dixcy Textiles Pvt. Ltd., which was established 1982, produces 5,00,000 pieces per day which are distributed across 1,20,000 stores all over India.
“Until now Dixcy Textiles Pvt. Ltd. was using mostly Indian machines except the 10 CMS machines, which were sold to them four years back. The company always wanted to upgrade and modernise its manufacturing plant by installing 100 per cent imported machines for better quality. After using our machines, they were highly satisfied, which was the reason why they again ordered 37 CMS brand machines, including 25 interlock and 10 single jerseys with body diameter (Tubular body) for 100 per cent innerwear segment and two bigger double jersey machines having 34 diameter for outer wear segment,”said S Boopathy, MD, The Empire Textiles.
“This is for the first time, our imported interlock machines are installed in local innerwear market segment in India. Before giving us the order, they took trial of our new machines for almost a year, and after 100 per cent satisfaction they gave us the complete order. Altogether, now they have 47 CMS brand machines, which makes their plant 100 per cent imported. Currently, there are around 350 CMS Brand machines (all types) successfully running in the Indian textile industry,” added Boopathy.
When asked about the major advantages of CMS machines Boopathy said, “When compared with Indian machines, CMS machines produces better quality fabric with zero defects in high speed for mass production. Earlier there were only local machines in the interlock market segment, having less rpm, lesser productivity and low quality. The main benefits of our imported CMS brand machines are less manpower usage, reduction in production cost by bringing down electricity consumption by 20-25 per cent, having better robotic design with heavy material.”
The various other features of CMS technology include machine bed with wire bearing technology (reduces machine friction, power saving), individual sinker and needle cams from Japan (reduces heat, increases machine life), needles of economical cost, aluminum tube creel (maintains straightness of yarn feeding tubs and ensure long life), takes care of higher capacity fabric roll weight, weight uniformity in all fabric rolls, safety device for fabric roll slip down and door open, yarn feeder with ceramic eyelet with international quality, very strong body, robust in construction etc.
