4 E³ Triple Added Value We aim to provide our customers with innovative products that make a difference in their production and profitability. The passion for our products drives our innovation. By focusing on our customers requirements and combined with Saurer s philosophy of innovation and sustainability, triple added value has been created. Energy In recent years, the price of energy has become one of the most important cost factors in the manufacturing industry. This is why during the development of new machines and equipment our engineers focus on achieving the most efficient possible use of the deployed resources. Economics The economic efficiency of an investment depends on a variety of relevant parameters. It is thanks to the know-how of our employees from research and development that these factors are placed in optimal balance through an integrated approach and empathy for the customer s needs. This results in a perfect investment to yield ratio. Ergonomics How should a machine be operated, how much time is required for its setting and adjustment, how is an optimal workflow created - these are all questions for which the products from Allma Volkmann provide the ideal solution. 4 ALLMA VOLKMANN PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Glass filament yarns A market with a promising future for products which do not yet exist, constantly growing and full of innovations, this is how the market for twisted glass filament yarns could be

14 Glass filament yarns A market with a promising future for products which do not yet exist, constantly growing and full of innovations, this is how the market for twisted glass filament yarns could be described. Printed circuits are the main examples, but special applications as well. Low electrical conductivity and resistance make textile glass ideal for use in the electronics industry. Advanced production systems are a basic prerequisite for the manufacture of twisted glass filament yarns for this highly dynamic market. Volkmann sets new standards Besides the hitherto existing customer requirements such as reliability, yarn quality and cost-effectiveness, new parameters are gaining importance in glass filament production: a high technological standard, performance and ergonomic innovations are making a large contribution to its success. Volkmann has achieved a major breakthrough with the further development of the GlassTwister. This innovative high-performance ring twisting machine has really proven itself in the market and has set new production standards with its technological features. Among these are the state-of-the-art drive components for the creel baskets, ring rail and ring twisting spindles, central setting via touchscreen plus the constant monitoring of the process parameters and production data together with a host of other elements. The result is first-class glass filament and bobbin quality. 14 ALLMA VOLKMANN PRODUCT OVERVIEW
