Sulzer loom spare parts
Spares for Sulzer projectile weaving machines, supplied to order.
The line the firm started with in 1996, and still the one it is known for across the weaving belt. Bhilwara runs on projectile machines, and a machine that has stopped is losing money by the hour.
A projectile loom wears in known places. After enough years you stop needing the catalogue: the part comes out of a cloth bag, and you know what it is, what it fits and whether it can be had.
Bring a part number, a drawing, or simply the worn component. It will be identified and sourced — and if it cannot be got, you will be told that rather than left waiting on it.

Part numbers are quoted against the number, drawing or worn part you send - not listed here, because the wrong revision on a stopped loom costs more than the part.
Photographs show what each grade looks like, not a particular batch. We source these goods rather than make them, so shade and finish vary a little between mills.
Both open WhatsApp. The order arrives with the blanks laid out — fill in grade, size and quantity and we will confirm price and lead time.
