Since September 2024, Savio Macchine Tessili S.p.A. of Italy has been working with the Recycling Atelier Augsburg. Savio will assist the Recycling Atelier with winding and yarn quality assurance. This Collaboration completes the mechanical textile recycling production chain and creates new avenues for study.
Savio Macchine Tessili S.p.A. is an expert in the yarn finishing area of textile technology. A range of winding, twisting, air-jet spinning, shrinking, and bulking equipment with manufacturing capabilities are available from the Italian firm. flora in Asia and Italy. It’s been in business for almost 110 years. The partnership adds another step to the process chain for mechanical textile recycling, completing it and opening up research possibilities in the areas of winding and quality control of yarns.
Twelve industrial businesses make up the Recycling Atelier partner network, which collectively handles the full mechanical textile recycling process chain. Savio Macchine Tessili S.p.A.’s inclusion is a crucial part of the high-quality textile recycling. Savio makes a contribution in many ways than only lending their invaluable expertise in the winding industry. Additionally, the business supplies the Recycling Atelier with Proxima Smartconer® winders. The yarn’s quality is greatly influenced by the winding procedure. The final stage of spinning is winding, which allows the yarn to be regulated and qualified before proceeding to the subsequent steps of knitting, weaving, dying, and finishing.
Dr.-Ing. Georg Stegschuster, Head of Recycling Atelier, shares knowledge straight from the manufacturer: “Savio winding machines offer great productivity, low energy usage, excellent yarn quality, data connection and automation. These requirements are perfect for the Recycling Atelier’s configuration. Additionally, we get useful information straight from the producer. We are looking forward to the cooperation and the positive
impact that Savio’s involvement will bring to our applied research.”
The collaboration with the Recycling Atelier Augsburg excites Mauro Moro, CEO of Savio Macchine Tessili: The partnership with the Recycling Atelier Augsburg represents a significant advancement in winding technology development. and quality assurance in the context of recycling.
The Recycling Atelier’s influence and work are explained by Prof. Mesut Cetin, Institute Director of ITA Augsburg and professor at Augsburg University of Applied Sciences’ Faculty of Mechanical and Process Engineering: “The ITA Augsburg, Recycling Atelier, and the Technical University of Applied According to Sciences Augsburg, they are a driving force for industry’s transition to sustainability. Any kind of invention and advancement is welcomed. Whether they are publically financed initiatives or content with an application focus or basic research or direct contract research—any interaction between business and academia is welcome.

Concerning the Recycling Atelier
The Recycling Atelier Augsburg is the world’s first model plant for recycling mechanical textiles. The goal is to apply knowledge from both industry and research to Provide creative ways to recycle high-quality textiles while maintaining a sustainable material cycle throughout the textile manufacturing process. The complete process of turning old textiles into high-quality goods is covered by the research and development work done at Recycling Atelier Augsburg. The Institute of Textile Technology Augsburg, a partner institution of Augsburg University of Applied Sciences, launched this model factory for the sustainable material cycle as part of the Augsburg AI production network. opened it in June 2022 with THA.
Regarding the AI Production Network
The Bavarian state government established the Augsburg AI Production Network, which consists of a network of AI specialists in the Augsburg region. The network associates are the German Aerospace Center’s (DLR) Centre for Lightweight Production Technology (ZLP), the Fraunhofer Institute for Casting, Composite, and Processing Technology (IGCV), the University of Augsburg, and the Technical University of Applied Sciences Augsburg (THA). There are also regional industry partners participating. Studying AI-based production technologies at the intersection of materials, manufacturing technologies, data-based modelling, and digital business models is the goal. Under the Hightech Agenda Plus, the Free State of Bavaria is contributing 92 million euros to the project’s finance.
The Technical University of Applied Sciences Augsburg is part of the AI Production Network, which converts AI research and advancements into useful solutions for local business and skilled trades. Transfer is among the The fundamental abilities of THA. It makes use of its strong connections with businesses in the area and beyond to swiftly and accurately integrate the created solutions, either strategically within the current business model or physically in manufacturing facilities and infrastructures.
