Fibre Extrusion Technology Limited (FET), a UK-based leading supplier of state-of-the-art process technology and equipment for the man-made yarns and fibre extrusion industry, has installed a new FET-100 Series Laboratory Melt Spinning System for continuous filament yarn applications at the Center for Textile, Balai Besar Tekstils in Bandung, Indonesia.
The Balai Besar Tekstils has the task of carrying out research, development, cooperation, testing, certification and competency development of the textile sector, under the aegis of the Ministry of industry (Kementerian Perindustrian).
The FET-100 system will play a vital role in driving technological innovation in the Indonesian textile industry. Fibre manufacturers in the country now have access to advanced melt spinning facilities for developing and testing their own novel fibres for global applications. “This laboratory melt spinning system is multi-polymer capable and can producing both mono and bi-component formats,” FET said.
FET representatives and the innovation agency BSP participated in a major ceremony last month to commemorate the installation of the machine. Indonesia’s Minister of Industry Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita attended the event.
The Ministry of industry has a stated objective that Indonesia becomes a “Resilient Industrial Country” – strong, competitive and based on innovation and technology.
