The Advantage of Core Spun Thread compared to Spun Thread regarding the quality of the finished garment AMANN GROUP 2010

Construction of sewing thread Spun thread Core spun thread PES Continous filament = core Cut fibers Cut fibers = Spun PES/PES AMANN GROUP 2010

The difference of core spun thread Spun thread Advantages of core spun threads e.g. Saba C Advantages of spun threads  Smaller diameter than spun threads while having same breaking strength  More meters on spool  Optimized elongation behavior and less shrinkage (washing, drying)  Higher abrasion resistance  Less knots and thick places  Universal  Lower buying price  For thick ticket numbers: Used for special effects on decorative stitching AMANN GROUP 2010

Comparison of core spun threads – spun threads Breaking strength: Construction of sewing thread AMANN GROUP 2010

Comparison of different thread constructions Abrasion resistance (based on Martindale abrasion testing / DIN T3): Construction of sewing thread AMANN GROUP 2010

 Smaller diameter than spun threads while having same breaking strength  More meters on spool  smaller needle size can be used – therefore less danger of material damages, especially in knitwear  Higher efficiency because of less changes of bobbin Meters on normal standard bobbins: Spun thread app. 70 m Core spun thread 120, e.g. Saba C 120 – app. 82 m Core spun thread 150, e.g. Saba C 150 – app. 113 m ADVANTAGE of core spun threads (e.g. Saba C ) compared to spun threads The difference of core spun thread Spun thread AMANN GROUP 2010

ADVANTAGE of core spun threads (e.g. Saba C ) compared to spun threads  Higher abrasion resistance  Optimized elongation behavior and less shrinkage (washing, drying)  Less problems with seam puckering in very fine and delicate fabrics  Less problems with damaged seams in case of washing procedures of Jeans or “gone” seams on very exposed seams  Higher efficiency because core spun threads (Saba C ) can stand the strain of high speed sewing machines without thread breakages The difference of core spun thread Spun thread AMANN GROUP 2010

ADVANTAGE of core spun threads (e.g. Saba C ) compared to spun threads  Less knots and thick places in the sewing thread  Less problems with thread breakages Each thread breakage means -less efficiency (average time loss for each thread breakage: 1 min) -suffering quality (there should be no seam beginning in decorative seams)  Less problems with needle breakages Each needle breakage means -less efficiency (average time loss for each needle breakage: 5 min) -Damages in material: In case of a needle breakage the machines are still sewing with the needle already broken – means there will be wholes in the fabric – could mean – the half finished garment goes into waist The difference of core spun thread Spun thread AMANN GROUP 2010

 Universal usage of the Saba – Product – Range (Ticket No. 30 to 150)  Application on all fast running high speed sewing machines, multidirectional sewing units, automated sewing machines (e.g. buttonhole machines) – and all types of garments (sports wear, lingery, ladies wear, men´s wear, home textiles…..)
