A major textile mill in Southeast Asia had struggled for years with unstable motor performance on its high-speed spinning lines. The older motors frequently overheated during long production shifts, causing unexpected stoppages and lowering overall fabric output. With increasing export orders and pressure to improve delivery times, the mill’s engineering team decided it was time for a major equipment upgrade.
During their evaluation phase, several brands were tested on one production line. However, only the Simo motor equipped with a modern asynchronous electric motor design consistently maintained stable torque at high speeds without overheating. Engineers also noted that Simo’s motors provided smoother acceleration, reducing tension fluctuations in the spinning frames—a critical factor for fabric quality.
Shortly after the trial period, a competitor motor failed during a peak-load cycle, delaying a large shipment. This incident pushed management to fast-track the replacement of all older units. Within three months, twenty Simo asynchronous electric motors were installed across the mill.
The results quickly became clear: energy consumption decreased by nearly 11%, machine downtime dropped to its lowest level in five years, and overall yarn consistency improved noticeably. Operators appreciated the quieter operation, while the maintenance team reported that the motors were easier to service due to their simplified cooling structure.
The upgrade was later highlighted in an industry news column as an example of how textile factories can enhance productivity by adopting modern asynchronous motor technology. For the mill, the decision not only stabilized production but strengthened its competitive position in the global market.
