Phoenix Assembly Winder – Precision Meets Performance

Returning to the market with enhanced digital features, the Phoenix assembly winder offers high productivity, excellent package quality and low operating costs. Phoenix reaches yarn take-up speeds up to 1000 m/min and is suitable for all discontinuous fiber yarns from Ne 1 to Ne 140 . The Savio Multicone digital thread guide reduces setup time and optimizes package formation, ensuring superior downstream results in Two-for-One twisting processes.

Lybra Smartspinner® – We Spin Different

Lybra Smartspinner® is Savio’s air-jet spinning solution developed for applications such as knitting, home textiles and sunshades. A standout feature is the Multi Blend System, which allows two slivers to be fed directly into the spinning chamber. This enables real-time blend adjustments, cost savings in preparation lines and the creation of unique material and color blends, including mélange effects . Lybra combines versatility, efficiency and ease of use, supporting high production rates with reduced processing costs.

Savio looks forward to welcoming customers and partners at ITM Istanbul 2026 to explore how its technologies enable smarter and more sustainable textile production, helping mills modernize processes and enhance overall performance.
