At the same time, RIFA has established good cooperative relations with many well-known textile enterprises, thanks to its excellent machine performance and meticulous service.
China Textile News will launch an exclusive report titled "Weaving Machine Frontline Survey" to delve into user enterprises and experience firsthand the advantages and achievements of RIFA's weaving equipment.
"Zhejiang Rifa Textile Machinery Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as 'RIFA') equipment has high stability and wide product applicability; its service is timely and responsive. Especially RIFA's electronic double twisting machine, which controls the twists, speed, and yarn formation through an electronic screen, reduces labor costs and improves production efficiency. We are very satisfied with it," said Wang Tiantian, the factory director of Sichuan Hengli Intelligent Textile Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Sichuan Hengli").
Entering the textile project production workshop of Hengli (Luzhou) Industrial Park located in the southern port area of Sichuan, an intelligent factory comes into view. Under the high-speed operation of thousands of automated looms, strands of yarn continuously turn into rolls of greige fabric.
Sichuan Hengli, a subsidiary of the Fortune 500 company—Hengli Group, was established on November 11, 2019. The textile project it constructed adopts high-speed mechatronic water-jet looms, intelligent double twisting machines, and related supporting equipment facilities, producing various types of polyester greige fabric with an annual production capacity of up to 1 billion meters. "Our main products include high-twist chiffon series, imitation acetate series, ultra-fine denier thin yarn series, single-faced satin and double-faced satin series, high-gram weight double-layer series, recycled fabric series, etc.," Wang Tiantian introduced.
Hengli (Luzhou) Industrial Park is the sixth-largest production base of Hengli Group in China and the largest industry project attracted to Luzhou since its establishment as a city, with a total investment of 22.6 billion yuan, covering 5,000 acres. It includes textile projects, filament projects, and supporting construction, achieving an annual production value of 20 to 30 billion yuan, annual profits and taxes of 2 billion yuan, and solving the employment of 15,000 people.
In terms of equipment configuration, Sichuan Hengli targets leading domestic and foreign brands. After visiting and researching several equipment manufacturing companies, they resolutely signed a major order with Rifa Textile Machinery in the second month of the project's start. Facts have proven that this choice was correct.
Currently, Sichuan Hengli is using over 5,000 chemical fiber double twisting machines and 2,760 JW10 water-jet looms produced by RIFA.
"Since October 2020, RIFA's double twisting machines and water-jet looms have gradually started operating. The double twisting machines have been operating for almost four years. The equipment runs stably, and the product quality can be guaranteed," said Wang Tiantian. "In actual production, the quality and stability of RIFA's equipment are very good, giving us a feeling of smooth operation. The various types of machines perform well during process trials, and during start-up and use, there are few broken ends. After using several double twisting machines, we sincerely believe that RIFA's double twisting machines are more ideal."
The stability of equipment quality is crucial for textile companies, as it directly impacts the daily production schedule. Wang Tiantian believes that the widespread reputation of RIFA spinning machines is due to their consistent quality.
In fact, the twisting machines that Sichuan Hengli has purchased in large quantities are RIFA's "foundational products." Since launching the first synthetic fiber twisting machine in 1993, RIFA's twisting machines have evolved from a single product to a complete twisting system, fully replacing imported equipment and becoming a market leader in the twisting machine sector, with a top market share in China.
In recent years, RIFA's market share for synthetic fiber twisting machines has continued to grow, largely due to its ongoing investment in high-speed, efficient, high-precision, and energy-saving technology. RIFA's strict quality standards have made its equipment—reliable, efficient, and high-quality—popular with customers. The company's extensive process data and continuous research into twisting technology enable RIFA to provide professional, precise technical guidance to its clients.
"We ordered RIFA's 310 synthetic fiber twisting machines, which use high-quality spindles made in-house. Key components are processed with Japanese-imported Koyo grinding machines and domestically renowned automatic dynamic balancing machines. The yarn passage is specially treated to meet the needs of fine-denier yarn production, ensuring higher efficiency, faster speeds, and lower energy consumption. The machines are equipped with single-spindle sensors and other electronic components, with automatic yarn breakage alarms, eliminating the need for manual inspections. They are easy to operate," Wang Tiantian shared, expressing strong approval of RIFA's synthetic fiber twisting machines.
High-quality equipment also plays a key role in employee retention. Wang Tiantian said, "Our employees are very satisfied with RIFA's equipment because it's easy to operate, quick, and labor-saving, which reduces staff turnover. This is critical for improving product quality and maintaining stable production."
According to Wang Tiantian, RIFA's JW10 water-jet looms—known for energy efficiency, low consumption, high speed, high efficiency, and wide adaptability—meet the needs of Sichuan Hengli. "In particular, the JW10 water-jet loom features a completely new 3D design and computer-assisted combination, utilizing virtual prototype technology for the weft insertion, shedding, and beating mechanisms. This reduces vibration by over 10% compared to similar domestic products under the same weaving conditions, lowers energy consumption by more than 5%, and excels in high-speed and variety adaptability. It boasts a solid frame structure, diverse configurations, user-friendly operation, and promotes green weaving, with broad adaptability to various fabrics," said Wang Tiantian.
"RIFA Spinning Machinery can be considered industry-leading—not only because of their high-quality products but also for their well-regarded service. Working with RIFA Spinning Machines gives us peace of mind," Wang Tiantian noted. As a renowned domestic manufacturer of textile equipment, RIFA continuously expands and improves its industrial chain, responding to market needs, and focusing on technological innovation to add value to its products, ensuring that clients can produce better products more economically.
Wang Tiantian believes that RIFA's outstanding after-sales service is key to their market success. Over the four years of cooperation with RIFA, several moments have left a deep impression. "When we first built the twisting workshop, RIFA's twisting machinery were already in place. At that time, the project had tight timelines and heavy tasks, and many of the newly hired employees had no experience, so installation and debugging were challenging. While the factory was still under construction, RIFA's team maintained constant communication with us. RIFA's technicians, who stayed on-site for installation and debugging, worked closely with us to meet the deadlines. We worked overtime until late at night, and they worked without complaint, even staying up all night with us when we had an urgent task. These seemingly small acts made a big impact on us—we felt like we were one big family." Even years later, Wang Tiantian vividly remembers the experience.
With advanced technology, reliable products, and heartfelt service, Sichuan Hengli places deep trust in RIFA Spinning Machines, establishing a strong cooperative relationship. When asked about future expansion projects, Wang Tiantian was firm in his response: "The practical performance has solidified our choice of RIFA Spinning Machines."
"No matter whether it's the twisting machine or the water-jet loom, we hope RIFA continues to innovate in terms of equipment intelligence and automation, contributing to improving labor efficiency and reducing worker intensity in the textile industry. We also look forward to RIFA offering intelligent solutions, such as combing and spinning systems, to automate semi-finished product handling between processes, ensuring seamless transitions and continuous production in the spinning process," Wang Tiantian added.
