Fibre Extrusion Technology Ltd. (FET, Leeds, U.K.) has installed a new FET-100 Series Laboratory Melt Spinning System for continuous filament yarn applications at the Center for Textile in Bandung, Indonesia.
A ceremony on March 18 commemorated the event, including representatives from the Indonesia Textile Association and the Indonesia Synthetic Fiber Manufacturer Association, with Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita, the country’s Minister of Industry.
Under the Ministry of Industry, Kementerian Perindustrian, the Center for Textile, Balai Besar Tekstils, will be carrying out research, development, cooperation, testing, certification and competency development for the textile sector. The Ministry has stated that it is Indonesia’s objective to become a “Resilient Industrial Country,” — strong, competitive and based on innovation and technology.
The FET-100 system itself will reportedly play a vital role in driving technological innovation in the Indonesian textile industry. The nation’s fiber manufacturers now have access to advanced melt spinning facilities for developing and testing their own novel fibers for global applications. This laboratory melt spinning system has multi-polymer capabilities and can produce both mono- and bi-component formats.
The ceremony was streamed for textile businesses to view online, and was covered on local television.
