Carpet Yarn Heatsetting

What is a company’s most valuable asset?

Waltraud Lederer — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 07:13:23 +0000

Power-Heat-Set knows the answer of this question: The most important asset is a high qualified, friendly and customer-orientated staff. A German expression translates as: “A satisfied customer is a good customer”. Therefore, Power-Heat-Set not only recognizes the specialized knowledge of their employees but also of their customer service skills. We are happy that our staff understands our company philosophy: “For our customer, only the best!” They give every effort with the attitude of satisfying our customer’s needs.

We are very proud that our customers perceive and appreciate our attention to their needs. One of our valued customers, Al Abdullatif of Saudi Arabia – Mr. Sohail , sent a big compliment via email to our Exportmanager Beate Jaschik regarding her excellent customer service skills. Beate was very happy to be recognized and said. “Personal appreciation from my customer is the biggest compliment I could receive.”

We share Beate’s happiness and we are proud of our entire staff.

Fair report of Domotex Middle East in Dubai

Stephanie Raithel — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 06:01:23 +0000

Although the fair was small and insider just call it “Al Abdullatif” and “Al Soraya” showroom it was a very interesting and productive fair for Power-Heat-Set. We could greet very interested and high-quality visitors during the whole fair at our booth - we have received completely positive feedback and from it starting very interesting projects.

At the moment there is one fair by another, but a lot of our customers think that the fairs and professional platforms are very good for business meetings and talks. We exhibit very much with pleasure on fairs - because the most important thing for us is the customer contact!

We would like to say “thank you very much” to the organizers of “The German Pavilion”: By the positive care before and during the fair we felt very well lifted with you!

Everything is up-to-date at Power-Heat-Set, not just the machines

Stephanie Raithel — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 08:40:43 +0000

The development of Power-Heat-Set’s machines is up-to-date and the educational background of Power-Heat-Set’s staff members is continually updated. A current example is Waltraud Lederer, the personal assistant of our managing director. For 12 years she has taken part in extensive and demanding advanced training. Now her perseverance has been rewarded. The Open University, where she completed her most recent distance learning course asked for her permission to propose her as a candidate for the annual award for studies in the “Lifelong Learning” category. For the past 24 years, this honor has been awarded by the professional association Forum DistancE-Learning. Since 1985, the Forum DistancE-Learning has awarded the title, “Distance Learner of the year”. The distance learning alumni who receive this award are typical of the majority of the more than 300,000 distance learners who register in the program each year. Their learning success demonstrates the effectiveness of the learning system and their significant personal learning commitment, balanced with the challenges of home, family and employment. For the first time in 1988, Forum DistancE-Learning offered the award, “Lifelong Learning”. This honor is given every year to people who have shown in an impressive way that continuously retraining management is rewarded with occupational and private success as well as great personal satisfaction. This year, Waltraud Lederer was awarded third place in the category “Lifelong Learning” and given an official certificate. We are very proud of this accomplishment because it is only possible to receive this honor with great ambition and much pleasure in learning. When we asked Mrs. Lederer about her next aim, she told us that she is in the middle of further professional study which will end in November 2010 with a CCI examination. When she passes the exam, she will receive the title “Bachelor Professional (CCI) of Business”. With that, she will have achieved another of her major goals. Step by step, true to the motto “Lifelong Learning”.

*Compared with two GVA2500 Mast to be based on 10 tons production!
Calculated with conservative numbers and steam cost of 50€/t, electricity of 0,12 €/kWh)

New developments are:

For an improved runnability of the yarn to the coiler or the twinrollbox to ensure optimized winding after the heat set process our GVA 5009 eco has a One-Roll Capstan overfeed system
To increase the cooling-down effect on the transport belts before re-entering the GKK and to minimize the heating-up of the belt rails the new GVA 5009 eco has a belt rail entrance with temperature insulation. The new belt rail entrance will avoid humidity loss of the yarn before the heat setting process as well as shrinking of the deposited yarn on the belt before entering the climate chamber.
A complete new system for the entry and exit of the climate chamber prevents that steam escapes from the climate chamber, thus reducing the steam consumption considerably and at the same time achieving an even more efficient steam supply.
New as well is the double insulation of the climate chamber to lower the energy loss. Thus the costs of electricity will be reduced and the double insulation will even have some influence on reducing the steam consumption.
The new GVA 5009 eco will be available as well with a central cooling station to avoid dust being stirred up during the operation and with a better heat transport to the outside. As each position has its own fan, an individual control of each position will be possible.

Do not hesitate to contact us to consult us regarding the retrofitting of your equipment or for a quotation for the NEW GVA 5009 eco. We are at your disposal any time and are looking forward to help you to master the current economic crisis with our consumption saving equipment.

Stephanie Raithel — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 08:34:44 +0000

To do justice to the risen requirements in the worldwide distribution of textile machines and their spare parts the management of Power-Heat-Set has decided on changing over to the more efficient ERP-system Microsoft Dynamics NAVISION with the new business year 2009.

Now at the end of January 2009 the time came also to the subsidiary company Power-Heat-Set of America. Both employees Klaus Wieland (IT services Resch Maschinenbau) and Karl-Heinz Matheis (project manager ERP-System Power-Heat-Set Germany) created the conditions in the place of business in Dalton, Georgia to use the new ERP-system efficiently.

For this on one side the hardware was started up and renewed to guarantee a quick and unprobelematic data exchange with the office in Germany. On the other hand the employees of Power-Heat-Set of America were trained in the service of the new ERP-system, above all in the areas of purchase and distribution.

By these measures Power-Heat-Set can guarantee to serve the customers even faster and more efficiently!
