What Loris Bellini does

Loris Bellini Srl is an Italian machinery manufacturer founded in 1949 that designs and produces industrial equipment for yarn dyeing, bleaching, and drying. The company operates from two Italian locations: a legal and production headquarters in Casalmorano (province of Mantua) where all machinery is manufactured, and a commercial and administrative headquarters in Bollate (province of Milan) housing sales, after-sales service, technical, shipping, and administrative functions. Loris Bellini employs between 51 and 100 people and operates as a privately held Società a responsabilità limitata with disclosed paid-up capital of €103,896.

The company's product portfolio is organized into three families: dyeing (PULSAR, RBNVI vertical, RBNOI horizontal, APPC-LV for skeins, ABEP for fine yarns, and the RBNV/PULSAR 270 laboratory machine), bleaching (CASTO for flax sliver and RBNVI applied to bleaching), and drying (ARSPV-ARSPO high-pressure rapid dryers). Underlying the portfolio is a set of proprietary technologies including a pressurized air-pad system (introduced 1981–1982), a helico-centrifugal pump architecture with differential pressure control, variable loading logic down to 50% of nominal capacity, and the Leonardo 600 industrial PC-based process controller for automated cycle management. Four worldwide patents protect key innovations: an extractable hank carrier (1963), the RBNOI horizontal system (1984), the APPC-LV variable loading cabinet (1987), and the PULSAR system (2011).

Loris Bellini generates revenue through one-time sales of capital equipment to industrial yarn dyehouses, supplemented by after-sales service and technical support. The company reaches customers through direct sales offices in Italy and a long-standing international agent network covering 'all major world markets' for the yarn dyeing sector, with documented shipments to textile manufacturers in Pakistan (terry towels), Jordan (carpet yarn), and trade-show presence at ITM 2024 Istanbul. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company positions on energy and water efficiency (PULSAR: 70% electric energy reduction, ~30% water reduction; ARSPV dryers: up to 90% energy recovery), durability of installed equipment, and 70+ years of accumulated process know-how.

Core offering

Loris Bellini designs, manufactures and supplies industrial machines for yarn dyeing, bleaching and drying used by textile mills. The product portfolio includes the proprietary PULSAR dyeing system, vertical and horizontal yarn dyeing machines (RBNVI, RBNOI), skein/hank cabinets (APPC-LV), fine-yarn arm machines (ABEP), a laboratory-scale dyeing unit (RBNV/PULSAR 270), flax sliver bleaching equipment (Casto), and pressurized dryers (ARSPV/ARSPO). The machines are engineered for global yarn dyehouses and are supported by sales offices in Italy, China and India plus an international agent network.

Product overview

Loris Bellini designs and manufactures a comprehensive portfolio of yarn processing machinery across three product families: dyeing, bleaching, and drying. The dyeing line includes PULSAR (an innovative system with reengineered hydraulic circuit and 70% energy savings), RBNVI (vertical pressurized air-pad machine for packages, tops, tow, and loose fiber), RBNOI (horizontal machine for low-clearance facilities), APPC-LV (skein cabinets with axial pump), ABEP (arm machines for fine specialty yarns), and RBNV/PULSAR 270 (lab bridge machine). The bleaching family comprises Casto (integrated degumming and bleaching for flax sliver) and RBNVI (also applied to bleaching). The drying family features ARSPV-ARSPO (pressurized rapid dryers with energy recovery up to 90%). All machines share key technologies including the proprietary pressurized air-pad system, helico-centrifugal pumps, variable loading logic, and Leonardo 600 process controller for automated cycle management. Products are designed for 100% in-Italy manufacturing with 316L stainless steel construction.

• Fong's National Engineering Co., Ltd. Hong Kong-based textile dyeing machinery group (parent of Sclavos). Competes directly with Loris Bellini across package yarn dyeing machines and is one of the largest global players in yarn and piece dyeing equipment.
• Sclavos International: Greek specialist in yarn dyeing machinery (now part of Fong's group). Direct competing supplier of package and hank dyeing machines to the same European and global yarn dyehouse customer base.
• Thies GmbH & Co. KG: German manufacturer of yarn and piece dyeing machinery (including the well-known 'Thies Eco-Bloc' and 'iMaster' machines). Directly comparable as a long-established German/European supplier of industrial yarn dyeing equipment with parallel product families covering packages, beams, and hanks.
• Brazzoli S.r.l. Italian textile machinery manufacturer based near Milan, focused on yarn dyeing and finishing equipment. Directly comparable as another Italian-made industrial yarn dyeing machine supplier competing in the same domestic and export markets.
• Scholl AG: German textile dyeing and finishing machinery maker with comparable yarn and piece dyeing equipment, including their own air-pad/applications for package and hank processing. Direct competitor in the same European yarn dyeing machinery niche.
• Hisaka Works, Ltd. Japanese manufacturer with a textile machinery division producing dyeing equipment (among other process machinery lines). Comparable as a regional direct peer supplying yarn and piece dyeing machines, particularly to Asian textile manufacturers.

Broad incumbents

• Benninger Group: Swiss textile machinery group with a broader portfolio spanning fabric pretreatment, dyeing, finishing, and drying. Less specialized in yarn dyeing than Loris Bellini but operates in the same textile finishing equipment space with global scale.
